Mosques or Masjids are fine examples of excellent architecture of Islam and Muslims. Beautiful mosques are found all around the globe, with the spread of the Islamic empire throughout the World. Islam has taken its fine culture and arts to those places. Because Islam had reached parts of Europe and Africa, it has left great influences in their cultures, which is clear from the offset.
My earlier post on English words borrowed from Arabic Language is an example of how much influence the Islamic empire has had in the current World culture.
Tourists are fascinated to see different cultures all around the globe, especially modern and classic examples of architecture. I certainly love to see complex designs which can also maintains it’s simplicity.
Beautiful mosques can be found in many countries, which look stunning from the outside and if you are lucky enough to be a muslim and have visited some of the interior, well then you would know that it is breath-taking! For one, the Islamic architecture of old is so detailed even to the smallest detail and two, the atmosphere inside any mosque is always tranquil.
Some examples of materials used to make the mosques so beautiful are marble, granite, pearls, diamonds, gold and gold threads, silver etc. - there far too many to mention.
