About the Book

The mosque has traditionally played a central role in most Muslim societies. It is not simply a building enclosing a sacred space separate from its secular surroundings, but also has the power to sanctify whatever the believer says and does there. The minaret, the dome, the gateway and calligraphy are all key elements of mosque architecture. In modern times, many changes have been introduced to the traditional concept of the mosque, therefore diminishing and distorting its main function. This text provides an appraisal of architectural developments worldwide in the design of the mosque. It explores traditional practice with the new functions and needs of form of service, within the worldwide context of building.
