EXCERPT
"The Islamic Cultural Centre which includes the London Central Mosque has been established since 1944. It was officially opened by His Majesty King George VI in November 1944. The 2.3 acres of site adjacent to Hanover Gate in Regent's Park, was presented as an unconditional gift from the British Government to the UK Muslim Community in Britain to enable the latter, to build a mosque and an Islamic Cultural Centre, to conduct the affairs pertaining to their faith. A Mosque Committee comprising various prominent Muslim diplomats and Muslim residents in the United Kingdom gratefully accepted the gift which was intended mainly as a tribute to the thousands of Indian Muslim soldiers who had died defending the then British Empire, which at the time, had more Muslim inhabitants than Christians."

This is a video slideshow of my pictures I took from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE. It took me a while to select the background music to this slideshow. I finally selected a popular Sufi song in Punjabi and rendered by Waladi Brothers. This was recorded by Coke Studio @MTV, a popular Indian Music TV program. This is a romantic song that portrays love to be divine and proclaims:
Whether you agree or not
I made you my God

The Kocatepe Mosque is the largest mosque in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. It was built between 1967 and 1987 in the Kocatepe quarter in Kızılay, and its size and prominent situation have made it a landmark that can be seen from almost anywhere in central Ankara.
مسجد کجاتپه (قوجاتپه ) در محله قیزیل آی آنکارا در سالهای ۱۹۸۱-۱۹۸۷ ساخته شد و توسط رییس جمهور وقت ترکیه آقای تورگوت ازال افتتاح شد.طرح اولیه این مسجد همان طرح معماری بزرگترین مسجد جهان یعنی مسجد مدرن فیصل پاکستان بود اما بعد مخالفت فنی با آن پروژه در سال ۱۹۶۷ ، بعدها با کمی تغییر آقای وئدات دالوکای معمار ترک این پروژه را در پاکستان اجرا کرد و در عوض معماران ، اولوانگین و تالای ، یک مسجد با معماری به شیوه عثمانیان ساختند که البته زیباست اما پروژه قبلی هم لطف خود را داشت .
این مسجد گنجایش ۳۰۰۰ نمازگزار را دارد و بزرگترین مسجد آنکارا می‌‌باشد.
Great Mecidiye Mosque, also known as Ortaköy Mosque, is one of the 19th century mosques located on the European side of the Bosphorus. It was built on the order of Sultan Abdülmecit, by the architect Nigoğos Balyan in 1853. The mosque was designed in neo-baroque style, according to the preferred architecural fashions of the period. After the earthquake in 1894, the cone of the minaret was repaired. In 1960 the mosque was near to collapse, so the foundation was improved with reinforcements. The building was again renovated after it was destroyed by fire in 1984. From 2011 - 2014 the Pious Foundation ran a full restoration project and the mosque reopened to visitors and for religious services on June 6, 2014.

Halk arasında Ortaköy Camii olarak bilinen Büyük Mecidiye Camii, Boğaziçi’nin Rumeli yakasındaki 19 yüzyıl camilerindendir. 1853’te Sultan Abdülmecit tarafından mimar Nigoğos Balyan’a yaptırılan cami, dönemin eğilimine uygun olarak neo-barok üsluptadır. 1894’teki depremden sonra minaresinin külah bölümü onarılan cami, 1960’ta göçme tehlikesi nedeniyle temel güçlendirme çalışmasından geçirildi, 1984’te atlattığı yangının ardından da kapsamlı şekilde restore edildi. Son olarak, Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından 2011-2014 yıllarında yürütülen restorasyon çalışmasının ardından 6 Haziran 2014’te yeniden ibadet ve ziyarete açıldı.
