Time-lapse from Mecca by Hosain Hadi
Zeynep Fadillioglu has quietly pulled off a coup: She’s the first woman in Turkey to design a mosque. An interior designer known for jet setting ways, she nonetheless won a commission to redesign the religious structure in Istanbul. She even recruited women to help in the construction. Begun last year, the project was just recently completed. It’s a fairly impressive building, subtly blending modern techniques and materials into what might be the world’s most conservative design vernacular. Check it out:
The quibla wall, which faces Mecca. The archway you see is the mihrab–an essential feature of a mosque’s quibla wall. To the right is the minbar–the pulpit for the Imam:
The view from the balcony. Women and men are separated in mosques; men worship on the main floor. The spaces occupied by women are frequently cramped, but Fadillioglu made a point of giving women a space equal to the main floor, in size and beauty: 
This is the Front Face of the Building
A group of Indonesian architectures designed the building
Look sharply, you will see the phrases: Laa ilaaha illa Allah and Muhammad Rasul Allah on the body
Recently, Indonesia built this new mosque in Alayrsyad in a space area of 970 square meters.

Take a look at this mosque! Does it give you a feeling of talking with Allah

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A blind man came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I have no one to guide me to the mosque.” He, therefore, sought his permission to perform Salat (prayer) in his house. He (Peace be upon him) granted him permission. When the man turned away, he called him back, and said, “Do you hear the Adhan (call to prayer)?” He replied in the affirmative. The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) then directed him to respond to it.

[This is Jannatul-Baqi.. Graveyard of Medina. Resting place of The Most Honoured Souls after the Prophets(as)… The Sahaba(ra) ♥ ]
A companion of the Prophet (saw) named Abdullah bin Hudhaifah Al-Sahmi (ra) was among the soldiers that Umar ibn Al Khattab despatched to the Romans, who were then captured. Abdullah was captured by the Romans who took him to the king and said, “He is from Muhammed’s companions.”
The tyrant king said to him; “Would you like to be a Christian and for me to make you a partner in my property and kingdom?”
Abdullah replied; “If you give me all that you posses to leave the Deen of Muhammad (sa) I would not do it.”
The tyrant said to him; “Then I will kill you,” He said, “It is up to you.”
The king commanded him to be crucified. At the same time he instructed his shooters to shoot Abdullah near his hands and near his legs while continuously offering him the same offer, but Abdullah refused. Then he commanded for Abdullah to be brought down and he called for a big pot, poured water into it until it was boiling and asked for two captured Muslims to be brought forth.
He then gave an order for one of the Muslims to be thrown into the bowling water unless Abdullah accepted his offer of becoming a Christian, but Abdullah refused. Finally, he commanded that Abdullah be thrown inside the boiling pot also. As Abdullah was being taken away he began to cry.
The king thinking that Abdullah’s resolve was broken instructed for him to be brought back and offered Christianity to him but once again he refused. Shocked at Abdullah’s answer, the tyrant king asked; “Why then did you cry?”
Abdullah replies; “I cried because I said to myself you will be thrown in this pot and pass away. It saddens me that I only have one life to give. I would like that I had as many souls as the number of hairs on my body so that they can all be sacrificed and then meet Allah Ta’ala.”
May Allah never afflict us with trials as such and grant us true strength on the long road to Jannah. Ameen
The Story of Kobe Muslim Mosque
The Japanese name ‘Kobe’ can be translated into English as ‘Gate of God’, so it is no wonder that the first mosque to be built in Japan was established in the city of Kobe.
