Biggest and among the old mosque in Pekanbaru Riau, INDONESIA.

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there.
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by both Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, particularly the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by both Mughal and Moorish design.
The Mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers. The main prayer hall can accommodate up to 9,000 worshippers. Two rooms next to the main prayer hall, with a 1,500-capacity each, are for the exclusive use of women.
There are four minarets on the four corners of the mosque which rise about 115 m (377 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white Bianco marble from Pietrasanta, Italy and the interior decoration is made of white marble from Laas, Italy. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft).

Istanbul's imperial Mosque of Sultan Ahmet I (Sultan Ahmet Camii) is called the Blue Mosque because of its interior tiles, mostly on the upper level and difficult to see unless you're right up there with them.
The mosque (built 1603-17) is the masterwork of Ottoman architect Sedefkâr Mehmet Ağa. It's built on the site of the Great Palace of Byzantium, on the southeastern side of the Hippodrome (map).
With its six minarets and a great cascade of domes, the mosque is a worthy sibling to Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia) just a few minutes' stroll to the north.

Istiqlal Mosque, or Masjid Istiqlal, (Independence Mosque) in Jakarta, Indonesia is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. This is one of those great Landmark in Jakarta.
We planned to shoot a session of modelling, but the model were still sleeping! we suspected :P But it turned out to be a clear day in some part of Jakarta, which is very rare moment. So we headed to Sunda Kelapa Port and then to this Magnifying Mosque, located in the heart of Jakarta. Subhanallah.

La Mosquée de Paris, construite entre 1922 et 1926, est située dans le Quartier latin, à deux pas du Museum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris. De style hispano-mauresque, elle est dominée par son minaret de 33 mètres de hauteur. Inspiré de l’Alhambra de Grenade, le patio est entouré d’arcades sculptées. La salle des prières est une étape obligatoire de la visite pour sa décoration et ses magnifiques tapis. La Mosquée de Paris est aussi un lieu de détente avec son hammam où sont passés BOURVIL et DE FUNÈS dans “La Grande Vadrouille”, son restaurant, où déjeunaient BIRKIN et GAINSBOURG dans le film “Slogan”, sa cour ombragée où les habitants du quartier ont l'habitude de venir goûter un thé à la menthe ou un moment de quiétude.
Friday Mosques derive their name from the prayers that are said there on Fridays.
According to Wikipedia,
"Friday Mosque is the English translation of the Arabic term masjid al-jumʿa (Arabic: مسجد الجمعة 'Mosque of [the day of] Assembly') or Jama Masjid."
"This term is applied as a proper name to many mosques worldwide. Friday – in Arabic, 'the Day of Assembly' – is the day for communal prayer in which all male Muslims are called to pray communally for the noon-time prayer in Islam, the equivalent of the Jewish Sabbath prayers (which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and Christian churchgoing on Sundays."
"Every Islamic community has a mosque for this purpose. Friday Mosque is thus the most common name for mosques worldwide."

Wikipedia also tells us:
"The Jāmeh Mosque of Yazd (Persian: مسجد جامع یزد - Masjid-e-Jāmeh Yazd) is the grand, congregational mosque (Jāmeh) of Yazd city, within the Yazd Province of Iran. The mosque is depicted on the obverse of the Iranian 200 rials banknote."
"The 12th century mosque is still in use today. It was first built under Ala'oddoleh Garshasb of the Al-e Bouyeh dynasty. The mosque was largely rebuilt between 1324 and 1365, and is one of the outstanding 14th century buildings of Iran."
"The mosque is a fine specimen of the Azari style of Persian architecture. The mosque is crowned by a pair of minarets, the highest in Iran, and the portal's facade is decorated from top to bottom in dazzling tile work, predominantly blue in colour. Within is a long arcaded courtyard where, behind a deep-set south-east iwan, is a sanctuary chamber (shabestan). This chamber, under a squat tiled dome, is exquisitely decorated with faience mosaic: its tall faience Mihrab, dated 1365, is one of the finest of its kind in existence."
