台灣大約有七座清真寺。

La Grande Mosquée d’Asilah, (fin XVII) voulue par Moulay Ismail après la reconquête de la ville, fut édifiée sur le site d’une église portugaise. Le mur d'enceinte du complexe est couronné de merlons triangulaires. Le minaret à plan octogonal est semblable à celui des mosquées érigées par Ahmed Al Rifi à Tanger, Tétouan et Chefchaouen. La décoration du minaret est assez simple et masquée par plusieurs couches de chaux. Elle est constituée d’une série d’arcatures aveugles polylobées semi-circulaires et brisées à claveaux alternés. Le couronnement est à merlons triangulaires et la lanterne est de dimension réduite.
The Melike Hatun Mosque, which was built with Ottoman architecture in Ankara's Erbakan Square and where 7 thousand people can pray at the same time, covers an area of 3,600 square meters. Under the mosque, there is a thousand-seat congress hall, foyer area and parking lot.
The dome diameter of the mosque is 27 meters and its height is 43 meters. On the other hand, Marmara stone was used in the cladding of 4 minarets, each of which is 72 meters. There are 16 marble inscriptions in the 8 meters 20 centimeters high copper realm on the main dome.
In the mosque, where wooden and nailless kündekari art is used, there are gold leaf, mother-of-pearl, vineyard and ivory engraved inscriptions on the entrance doors.
The mosque is actually called Hadji Hassan Mosque (after the Turkish governor Gazi Hassan Pasha). However, it is also known as the Loggia Mosque because of its beautiful columned loggia.
The mosque was built between 1765 and 1786. During the earthquake on the night of 21.07.2017 the well was badly damaged, its dome crashed to the ground. The minaret and some windows were also damaged, the corridor around the building was closed.
The mosque is no longer used as such today. Unfortunately, they can not be visited because of dilapidation.
The Hassan II Mosque is in Casablanca, Morocco. It is the second largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 7th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 689 feet (210 meters). I captured this shot from a peninsula located southwest of the mosque.

Marrakesh, Morocco
The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu'min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu'min around 1158, with Ya'qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195. This second mosque is the structure that stands today. It is considered a classic and important example of Almohad architecture and of Moroccan mosque architecture generally. The minaret tower, 77 metres (253 ft) in height, is decorated with varying geometric arch motifs and topped by a spire and metal orbs. It likely inspired other buildings such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat, which were built shortly after in the same era. The minaret is also considered an important landmark and symbol of Marrakesh.

Currently the largest mosque in Turkey, the Grand Çamlıca Mosque (Turkish pronunciation: [tʃamlɯdʒa]) (Turkish: Büyük Çamlıca Camii) is a complex for Islamic worship which was completed and opened on 7 March 2019. The mosque stands astride Çamlıca Hill in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul and is visible from much of the centre of the city. The complex incorporates an art gallery, library, and conference hall. It can hold up to 63,000 worshippers at a time (can accommodate up to 100,000 people in case of an earthquake).
The cost of the mosque was US$110 million (approx. 550 million Turkish liras at the time). Planning for the Çamlıca Mosque began in the year 2000 and was led by two female architects, Bahar Mızrak and Hayriye Gül Totu. Their design won second prize in a competition to come up with something suitable.
The mosque was officially inaugurated on 3 May 2019 by the current President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Several world leaders were present at the ceremony including Senegalese President Macky Sall, Guinean President Alpha Conde, Albanian president Ilir Meta, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and other foreign dignitaries.
Çamlıca Mosque was only the third mosque in Turkey to have six minarets, after the Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque in Istanbul and the Sabancı Merkez Mosque in Adana.
In 2022 work was under way to add a spur to the M5 Metro line from Üsküdar to include a stop at the Çamlıca Mosque.
