Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque/Iron Mosque (Putrajaya, Malaysia)







































The mosque was built to cater to approximately 24,000 residents including
the government servants working around the city center as well as areas
within Precincts 2, 3, 4 and 18. Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque's area
is twice that of Putra Mosque, which is located 2.2 kilometers north.
The "Iron Mosque" features a district cooling system, and without assembly
of fans or an air conditioning system. The mosque employs "Architectural
Wire Mesh" imported from Germany and China, which is also constructed at
the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, as well as the Bibliothèque
nationale de France in Paris. The main entrance is reinforced with Glass
Reinforced Concrete to increase the integrity of the structure and uses
fine glass to create an illusion of a white mosque from afar.

The path towards the mosque crosses a skyway known as the Kiblat Walk
which stretches an area of 13,639 m². This skyway contains landscaping
adapted from the ancient castles of Alhambra. The interior is decorated
with Al-Asmaul-Husna calligraphy of the Thuluth variation. The entrance to
the main prayer hall is adorned with verse 80 of Sura Al-Isra from the
Qur'an.

There is also a Mihrab wall made of 13 meter-high glass panel imported
from Germany inscribed with 2 verses from Sura Al-Baqarah on the
right-hand side and Sura Ibrahim on the left. The mihrab wall is designed so
that no light will be reflected, creating an illusion that the verses are
floating on air. The 40-feet long edges of the mosque's roof are able to
shelter the people praying outside of the main prayer hall from rain.



It was only opened last year.

Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque (Selangor, Malaysia)

















The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque (Malay: Masjid Sultan
Salahuddin Abdul Aziz) is the state mosque of Selangor, Malaysia. It is
located in Shah Alam. It is the country's largest mosque and also the
second largest mosque in Southeast Asia after Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta,
Indonesia . Its most distinguishing feature is its large blue and silver dome.
The mosque has four minarets, one erected at each of the corners.

The building has the distinction of having the largest religious dome in the

combination of Malay and Modernist style.

Assaita Wood Mosque (Danakil, Ethiopia)






This mosque made only with wood is in the area of Assiata, in Afar territory,
in Ethiopia. I only saw two mosques like this in Danakil. The minaret is also in
wood, and at the top, the moon also! Most of the visitors are afar people who
are nomads and pass in this place when they wander with their camels.
