Putra Mosque steals the limelight as one approaches the city of Putrajaya with three quarter of the beautiful dusky pink mosque “floats” on Putrajaya Lake. The mosque is no doubt one of Putrajaya's most distinctive landmarks and arguably one of the most modern mosques in the world.
The architecture of the mosque is commendable. It reflects the evolution of mosque designs in Malaysia, with its Islamic-inspired architecture taking into account traditional design elements and craftsmanship, local materials and weather conditions.

The Rüstem Pasha Mosque is an Ottoman mosque located in Hasircilar Carsisi (Strawmat Weavers Market) in Eminönü, Istanbul.
It was designed by Mimar Sinan ("Sinan the Architect") for Grand Vizier Rüstem Pasha (who married one of the daughters of Suleiman the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah). Its building took place from 1561 to 1563. The mosque is famous for its exquisite Iznik tiles, set in beautiful floral and geometric designs, which cover not only the facade of the porch but also the mihrab, minbar, walls, and columns.
The plan of the mosque consists of an octagon inscribed in a rectangle. The dome rests on four semi-domes; not on the axes but in the diagonals of the building.
The arches of the dome spring from four octagonal pillars— two on the north, two on the south— and from piers projecting from the east and west walls. To the north and south are galleries supported by pillars and by small marble columns between them.

This is a zoomed in view of the mosque shown in full 6 photos back.
I liked the textured pattern on the outside of the dome, which seemed unusual.
Egypt's policy on mosques is very different than Morocco's. Here, visitors can actually enter mosques in t-shirts and without a head covering, although it's better etiquette to cover. In Morocco, other than one or two mosques at designated times, non-Muslims can't go in at all.

MGR has constructed the mosque at Kuningan in West Java. The reason for selecting this particular area was that it was without a permanent mosque for over 5 years following an earthquake in the region, and people were slowly moving away from their daily prayers whilst others prayed on the harsh surface.
The mosque was moved to a new location so that if another earthquake or flood occurs in the region it will not be damaged.
1. Name of the mosque is Masjid Haji Ibrahim, 2. Mosque location is in Kuningan , West Java.
