FAISAL MASJID | ISLAMABAD PAKISTAN | DRONE

#faisalmasjid #islamabad #pakistan
FAISAL MASJID Located in Islamabad, Pakistan, the Faisal Mosque is the largest mosque in South Asia and the fourth largest mosque in the world. Built in the year 1986, it was named after the late king of Saudi Arabia, Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz, who backed and financed the construction.
Designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay, the building looks like an Arab Beduin’s tent, flaunting the Margalla Hills in its backdrop.
The unique modern design of the complex exemplifies the eviction of the traditional Islamic architecture of using domes and arches. The designer Vedat Dalokay received the Agah Khan Award for Architecture for this astonishing piece of constructional art.
Coated with white marble, the interior section of the mosque is decorated with mosaics and calligraphy by the famous Pakistani artist, Sadequain.
The main prayer hall contains a huge Turkish-style chandelier in its center. The thin, pencil like minarets display Turkish traditions all over their structure. The sharp features of the minarets created the impression among the American intelligence to be missiles in disguise.
Against the dark of the night sky this grand complex is a site of enchanting beauty, glittering like a large piece of crystal encircled with four sharp illuminated minarets.
This 54,000 sq.ft. architectural wonder has the capacity to accommodate more than 2,50,000 worshipers at a time. Various literary books have considered the Faisal Mosque as one of the best designed mosques for its exceptional architectural style and structure.
