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.

The Khamis Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الخميس; transliterated: Masjid al-Khamys) is believed to be the first mosque in Bahrain, built during the era of the Umayyad caliph Umar II. The identical twin minarets of this ancient Islamic monument make it easily noticeable as one drives along the Shaikh Salman Road in Khamis. It is considered to be one of the oldest relics of Islam in the region, and the foundation of this mosque is believed to have been laid as early as 692 AD. An inscription found on the site, however, suggests a foundation date sometimes during the 11th Century. It has since been rebuilt twice in both 14th & 15th centuries, when the minarets were constructed. The Khamis mosque has been partially restored recently.
Islam was propagated to Bahrain in the 7th century AD when Muhammad sent an envoy Al-Ala'a Al-Hadrami, preaching Islam to the Governor of Qatar and Bahrain at the time, Munzir ibn Sawa Al Tamimi.
The Qaraw?y?n Mosque is the centre of a university that was founded in ad 859; several of its schools (madrasahs) are grouped around it. The university has been renowned since the European Middle Ages as a centre of Isl?mic culture. When the Muslims were expelled from Spain beginning in the 13th century, many came to Fès and to Qaraw?y?n, bringing knowledge of European and Moorish arts and sciences. By the 14th century there were said to be 8,000 students at the university. It gradually declined and by the 20th century retained only traces of its former greatness. But after Moroccan independence (1956), much was done to modernize the university: a new faculty of law was established, women were admitted for the first time, and the tuition system was reorganized. In 1963 the traditional program of studies—Isl?mic law, theology, and Arabic studies—was divided into three separate faculties, the latter two being relocated at Tétouan and Marrakech.

From "Highlights of China":
The Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque is the most famous Mosque in the southwest of China. As the temple is near a royal palace in history, so it is named the Huangcheng Mosque. The Mosque covers an area of 6,600 square meters, with a construction area of 5,600 square meters. It is the largest Mosque in Sichuan Province and is one of the famous old temple in China.
The architectural style of the temple combined the Arabic style and Ming, Qing Dynasty's architectural style as a whole. The existing constructions include an entrance wall, two gates, an ambulatory, a shower room, a library and a prayer hall, etc. The entrance wall is opposite the main gate. Between the wall and the gate, it is a street. On the top of the main gate is the tablet marked the name of " Huangcheng Mosque". Outside the main gate is the fence. On the top of the second gate is the tablet marked the name of "Kai Tian Gu Jiao" ( it means a old temple with a long history). The second tablet is the relics of Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). The library holds a lot of Islam books with Arabic and Chinese language. The prayer hall is a newly building with grand scale and simplicity. The temple is the center of the Islamic Association in Sichuan Province.
It was a rainy day in Chengdu, which is pretty normal for July, so misty air and bad lighting make this a rather flat picture.
