Une mosquée est un lieu de culte où se rassemblent les musulmans pour les prières communes. L’ensemble architectural est le plus souvent entouré d’une ou plusieurs tours, ou minarets, dont le nombre n'est pas limité. Le toit est souvent en forme de dôme. C’est du haut d’un des minarets que le muezzin (mouadh-dhan) appelle à la prière au cours de l’adhan. Une mosquée est plus qu’un lieu de culte ; elle sert d'institution sociale et éducative : elle peut, ainsi, être accompagnée d’une madrassa, d'une bibliothèque, d’un centre de formation, voire d’une université. Elle sert aussi de lieu de rencontres et d’échanges sociaux.

La mosquée du sultan Hassan (arabe : مسجد السلطان حسن) est un complexe religieux islamique de la ville du Caire, la capitale de la république d'Égypte. Caractéristique de l'architecture mamelouke, elle fut édifiée à partir de 1356 sur l'ordre du sultan An-Nâsir al-Hasan. Ce vaste complexe abritait à l'origine plusieurs importantes madrasas où étaient étudiés les quatre madhhab ou écoles juridiques de l'islam sunnite : l'école hanafite, l'école hanbalite, l'école chaféite et l'école malékite. Le sanctuaire jouxte la mosquée Al-Rifa'i, dont il n'est séparé que par une rue étroite.

About Sultan Ahmet Mosque

 

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is an historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction

 

The design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect has ably synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour. It has one main dome, six minarets, and other eight secondary domes.

Mosque was opened in 1993. It is the largest mosque in Morocco and the 13th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres (689 ft). Mosque can hold 25,000 worshippers.

These guys charge a nominal fee for a Polaroid picture in front of Faisal mosque. I had him pose for me for a change.

Taken from across the street. I saw it when we were driving to the fort and wanted a picture of it, so while Paul bartered for a gun in the Souq, we walked off to photograph the Mosque. Dressed as we were though, we did so from across the street.
