Istanbul, Turkey, my favourite memory, everynight 100s of birds would fly around the mosque glowing in the spotlights. This night we we treated to magnificent thunder storms as well.
This mosque,which was opened in 2008, is on the Martyr`s square ,Beirut,Lebanon. It is situated next to the christian St George Cathedral. This illustrates the religious tolerance shown in Lebanon.

The Al-Fateh Mosque
The Al-Fateh Mosque (also known as Al-Fateh Islamic Center ) is one of the largest mosques in the world
capable of accommodating over 7,000 worshippers at a time. The mosque is the largest place of worship in Bahrain.
It is located next to the King Faisal Highway in Juffair, which is a town located in the capital city of Manama.
The mosque very close to the Royal Bahraini Palace, the residence of the king of Bahrain Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah.
The huge dome built on top of the Al-Fatih Mosque is made of pure fiberglass. Weighting over 60 t (60,000 kg), the dome is currently the worlds largest fibreglass dome.
Al-Fateh now includes the new National Library which opened to the public in 2006. The mosque was built by the late Sheikh Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa in 1987. It is named after Ahmed Al Fateh, the conqueror of Bahrain
The Hassan II Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الحسن الثاني), located in Casablanca is the largest mosque in Morocco and the third largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca and the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina. Designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau and built by Bouygues. It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's adjoining grounds. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 m (689 ft).
The Badshahi Mosque (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد) or the 'Emperor's Mosque' in Lahore is the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world. Epitomising the beauty, passion and grandeur of the Mughal era, it is Lahore's most famous landmark and a major tourist attraction.
Capable of accommodating 10,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and a further 100,000 in its courtyard and porticoes, it remained the largest mosque in the world from 1673 to 1986 (a period of 313 years), when overtaken in size by the completion of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. Today, it remains the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca and the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.
To appreciate its large size, the four minarets of the Badshahi Mosque are 13.9 ft (4.2 m) taller than those of the Taj Mahal and the main platform of the Taj Mahal can fit inside the 278,784 sq ft (25,899.9 m2) courtyard of the Badshahi Mosque, which is the largest mosque courtyard in the world.
This is probably my favourite mosque. It's not gaudy, it's not frivolous, it's a domed building in the middle of a courtyard. It's as good as the pyramids.
Albania - Tirana - Mosque of Et'hem Bey.
Et'hem Bey Mosque. Perhaps the only real sight in Tirana, this pretty mosque is right on the city's
main square, making it hard to miss. Construction of the 'Xhamia e Haxhi Ethem Beut' mosque started in 1794 and was finished in 1821 by Et'hem Bey (who evidently got all the credit). Closed under communist rule, the mosque reopened as a house of worship in 1991, without permission from the authorities. 10,000 courageous people dared to attend and remarkably the police did not interfere. The event was a milestone in the rebirth of religious freedom in Albania. Take a look at the frescoes outside and in the portico which depict trees, waterfalls and bridges - motifs rarely seen in Islamic art. Take your shoes off before entering the inner room.
One of only two mosques in Morocco that non-Muslims may enter, this, though I couldn't see any trace of it actually being used these days - I think they might use it on occasional Fridays. It's the Mosque of Tin Mal, the Atlas village which formed the secure stronghold base to many a horrible bunch of rulers, tyrants, and military nutcases over the years - particularly the Almohads.
It's a UN World Heritage Site, now, so of course it's quite well preserved and slightly devoid of any life. Still, a brilliant stop in your journey over the Atlas mountains, and definitely a good place to visit if you like reddish brown photographs.
inside the mosque at taj mahal, there are two same buildings at both sides, this one is a mosque, the other not, only built for a perfect symmetry!!!!

La Mosquée HASSAN II située à CASABLANCA MAROC est érigée en partie sur la mer. C'est un complexe religieux et culturel aménagé sur 9 hectares.

Conçue par l'archtecte Michel PINSEAU elle a été édifiée par le groupe françaiis BOUYGUES, sa construction a débuté le 12 juillet 1986 et son inauguration a eu lieu le 30 août 1993.
