    • sheik 16 May 2010

      hi. . assalamu alaikum . . .

  2. Iwani 13 May 2010

    What a beautiful collection :)

  3. Faizan 13 May 2010

    Awesome!! Thanks for Sharing

  4. adibmuhammad 13 May 2010

    The location for the photo with the title “The Mosque and The Towers” is wrong. The photo’s taken in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and not from within the United Arab States. :)

    • metpet 7 July 2010

      Even more, there is no such thing “United Arab States” :-)

  5. Suleiman 13 May 2010

    The designs of mosques is absolutely amazing. The real beauty is getting close and seeing the tiny details, the isometric patterns and the arabic are outstanding. Also the insides are a hundred times better :)

  6. Sameer 13 May 2010

    Masha Allah!

  7. Sameer 13 May 2010

    But i think it should be Masjid not Mosques, please correct it, Thanks

    • Salman 13 May 2010

      The english word for Masjid is Mosque…

      • fajarfaqih 14 May 2010

        Yes, Masjid in English is Mosque. But, the meaning is different. I agree with Sameer.

        • fajarfaqih 14 May 2010

          You can read the “THE COMPLETE IDIOT’S GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM” book.

          However, this book shows that the term “Mosque” is obtained from the Spanish word, which is “Mosquito” which means “mosquito”. Named as such because when the Crusades, King Ferdinand said that they would go and kill the Muslims “like mosquitoes” (“like mosquitoes”).

          So, “Masjid” is a place for muslims to worship their god, and kneel on. And the meaning is completely different.

          • Miguel 14 May 2010

            The spanish word is Mezquita not mosquito.

          • Shady M. Najib 15 May 2010

            This is a hoax :) It has nothing to do with Mosquitoes

          • Naveed Ahmed 20 August 2010

            This place is not for your discussions. Go do that somewhere else.

            This is a site to showcase the best in design and let’s keep it that way.

            Behave decently and don’t mar the name of Muslims by starting unnecessary talks.

      • Bahtiar 13 August 2010

        Masjid is Masjid. Mosque is a phrase/word to humiliating Islam besause there’s a lot of mosquitos at Masjid that’s why they like to call it mosque. It’s a schoolar word. It’s wrong. Masjid is Masjid.=)

        • iman 14 August 2010

          yes, i agree with you. it is a must to say MASJID rather than mosque…(which applies to a root word of mosquito)

  8. naveed 13 May 2010

    fantastic collection :)
    thanks for sharing

  9. lady_jaws 13 May 2010

  11. Adi 13 May 2010

    Brilliant design (tiny detail is so awesome). Thanks for sharing :)

  12. Dutch designer 13 May 2010

    I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like the look of the buildings with a modern twist like ‘Faisal Mosque – Pakistan’.

    • hamza 17 May 2010

      actually its not your fault u guys have problem with all the Muslim community…! and also if you don’t know about that better u keep quite!

      • Mike Ebert 20 May 2010

        It seems to me that he was not commenting on the Muslim community at all, just the architectural look of a few of the mosques pictured above. We could just as easily be examining a collection of pictures of Christian churches or palaces or Soviet monuments and say that we didn’t like some of them as much as the others. Please don’t be overly sensitive when no insult was intended.

        • Ahmed 20 June 2010

          I agree

          • Hannibal 19 July 2010

            I disagree.

      • Mary Jane 22 July 2010

        oooohhh! yeah he better keep quiet! Or what Hamza? Gonna blow yourself up at a public library?? So defensive and so stupid. What becomes of the douchebags like Hammy who chooses to take offense when none is intended? The mindless zealots (in every religion) cant help but provide us daily examples of how nasty and dark their hearts truly are.

      • Ahmed Kachkach 22 August 2010

        It’s guy like you, Hamza, that get us all this negative clichés and ideas about Muslims!

        “Dutch Designer” never said anything about the muslim community, he just said that he didn’t like the architectural look of one of the mosques, that’s all!

    • Fas Khan 9 July 2010

      Well every person has their own taste, I personally really love Faisal Masjid Building, Islamabad ,Pakistan.
      I been to that building if you go and look at the building then you will realise how beautiful it is, its not just outside inside and from far away (mountains view) its a piece of beauty.
      I think you are judging the book from its cover !
      the person who designed this building, designer even won the price as well.

    • Adil 29 July 2010

      I agree with You, There is some significance behind the Doom & Minarets. the latest architects are showing there creativity in wrong place.The traditional mosque design are the best.

  13. Ferdous 13 May 2010

    Very good collection. But hoped to see some mosque from Bangladesh too. Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, has many many mosque. Dhaka is known as ‘City of Mosque’ for this reason. Thanks for the nice collection.

    • Aamir 8 June 2010

      keep quiet you bengali

      • Donna Khan 1 July 2010

        hey amir do u hv a problem wth the Masjids in Bangladesh because u r not allowed on them jst bcoz u r a dumbhead??thn i understand ur anger abt Bengalis and im feelng pity for u…too bad!!

      • Fas Khan 9 July 2010

        That is very bad Aamir, Islam doesn’t allow any sort of discrimination,
        Well Its Shame on us Muslim who don’t have unity!
        You shouldn’t see who is bagali or Pakistani or Indian, All Muslim are brother /sister.

        I am sure you meant as joke but try to Love every Muslim nation, without taking piss on others, every person makes difference.

        Salaam
        Khan

  14. Amer 13 May 2010

    How about Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem? It’s one of the most beautiful mosques in the world!

    • Sabine 13 May 2010

      • izzat aziz 16 May 2010

        that is dome of rock and it is not Masjid al-aqsa

      • Banago 17 May 2010

        Dome of the Rock is not Al-Aqsa Mosque. Both are actually very near each-other and every time Al-Aqsa Mosque is mentioned in the media they keep showing Dome of the Rock and that is why, I think, even Muslims confuse it these days.

        Thanks for this breathtaking collection Noupe!

      • Fas Khan 9 July 2010

        This is a picture of Dome of Rock which is in front of Masjid Al Aqsa,

        Have look at this one its beautiful 3d View from inside the Masjid Al-Aqsa.

      U r right,
      These collection are superb and awesom.
      Thanx a lot.
      Please share other information reagrding Muslim background.

  18. Salman Butt 13 May 2010

    So this is where the little jihadists come from… Interesting.

    • Bob 13 May 2010

      Unfortunately, yes. :-(

      But don’t worry, I’ve been assured that islam is all about peace and love, so it’s all good.

      • ali 13 May 2010

        Yes, well with over 1.5 billion Muslims, you’d certainly be hearing from us more often if it weren’t.

        • Bob 15 May 2010

          That’s true, personally I’m more concerned with all the *Buddhist* suicide bombers, terrorists, et al.; since their numbers are similar and they are obviously the more violent of the two.

          (But between you and me, it’s really the Hindu gangs we need to worry about)

          Good thing you guys are so tolerant. Thank you for that.

          • izzat aziz 16 May 2010

            extremist all religious have it, but as for current circumstance, extremist of Islam notice by the world more.

            But let put all that aside, and enjoy the beauty of the masjid.

    • Saad Bassi 14 May 2010

      You are a genuine asshole. This is not from where Jahadis come. It is a place where Muslims go and offer prayers. What the hell. Looks like you are Muslim. And see there is Haram is also listed. What the hell are you talking about.

    • Neo 20 June 2010

      The only places I know that “jihadists” come form are Hollywood, Murdock empire news agenda and minds of haters like yourself.

      of course it’s not your fault that you get your education from block buster movies and tabloids, because these sources don’t tell you how millions got massacared in Palastine, Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan, and other places in the name of Uncle Sam and his fellow gays..

      and it is really interesting.

  21. Nico 13 May 2010

    Just wondering, how come the images are blurred in the first one? I always see that in pictures like that.

    • Asrar 13 May 2010

      High exposure. The camera lens is open for longer, capturing more light, but at the same time, capturing movement. The result is that the moving objects to appear blurred.

  22. Jordan Walker 13 May 2010

    The architecture is stunning.

  32. JACK 13 May 2010

    wooooow Amazing
    Can you tell us more about Islam, please

    • karim 13 May 2010

      you can see this articles about the Islam

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam

      http://www.saaid.net/islam/4.htm

    • OB 13 May 2010

      Jack,
      I appreciate the question.
      Just to sum it up, islam in Arabic means complete. Its way beyond worship, it is the meaning of your existence and your relation with the Creator (After all we have been created by Someone). Islam is about how to be a human, from treating people to keeping yourself clean. And islam is a super set of all religions of the past, we cant be muslims if we dont believe in Moses or Jesus as Prophets. :) this is where it ends.

    • Muzna 15 May 2010

      hi :-) there are many many versions of islam these days and most of them are only for misguiding those who dont kno! just remember that a true muslim believes that there is only One God and He sent many massengers to guide the mankind and all of them delivered His true message! the last prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) was sent for the whole world! A real muslim believes in Allah,trusts him in every situation,doesnt harm anyone or hurt anyone and believes in the rights of every other living being and his own duties!! u want to know about islam then know the person who delivered islam to us,our prophet hazrat Muhammad(p.b.u.h.) and dont judge islam by looking at the so called muslims these days. Look for Dr.Zakir Naaik,Dr.Israr Ahmed,Molana Taariq Jameel and Islamic Research Foundation.
      I hope Allah guides u to the right path! Amen!!

  33. Mohammad 13 May 2010

    A fantastic collection. Thanks. Although beautiful mosques are not limited to these and as Amer mentioned “Al-Aqsa” is a great candidate and so is the “Taaj Mahal” in India.

    • Nabila 13 May 2010

      The Taj Mahal itself is not a mosque, although there is a mosque next to it which is within the gardens.

    You forgot the mosques in Iran!
    for example check “King Mosque” Located in Isfahan: (The original name of this Mosque is “King Mosque”,
    and after the fucking islamic republic of Iran the name changed to “Imam Mosque”)
    http://www.iranziarat.com/_Media/010_6a_0001.jpg
    or “Naser-ol-Molk” in Shiraz:

    You may google for “iran mosque” if you are interested.

  64. mahsa 14 May 2010

    very nice collection, but it seems that the photographer has not seen the beautiful mosques of Iran like Sheikh lotfollah mosque and Imam mosque.

  65. Kaffebønner 14 May 2010

  72. Gus 15 May 2010

    Is this article speak about design or religion or even a country??
    I don’t see this is the right place to speak other than design.. so disappointing

    • Jack 15 May 2010

      Me too man, I’m just web designer and who want to read all about web not about architectures, beautiful Flickr photos.

      • izzat aziz 17 May 2010

        this web is all about finding what new and better. even you are web designer you need to open up a lil bit to other style.

        if i am a client,i prefer web designer that more open to other stuff, and not just sticking in its cubical.

    • Mike Ebert 20 May 2010

      One technique I’ve heard many times for improving (web) design is to seek inspiration from new sources. This would certainly qualify as a new source, one that most don’t consider when designing websites. Many web designers could learn a lot about color, proportion and the incorporation of curves into design from Muslim architecture.

      • Esrar Razvi 9 July 2010

        Mike, brilliant observation. I agree with you and will try to get some inspiration from these works in my future projects.

  73. Zaheer 15 May 2010

    Greatest collection ever seen

  74. Jack 15 May 2010

    I thought Noupe.com is all about web design and graphic related design blog. What’s wrong with you guys I saw some useless compilations articles for designers these days. (I’m not talking about religions.) Just want to point out to do some useful design related articles. I’m subscriber since 2008, want you guys to focus on designs rather than compiling beautiful photos from Flickr and naming beautiful waterfallsssss… etc..

  75. abeedo21 15 May 2010

      Thanks from Bangladesh.

  93. D. Anderson 19 May 2010

    Thank you for sharing these pictures. The architectures took the mundane (mathematics of building design) and created more than was absolutely necessary. For what? …for the inspiration …for the beauty of the eye. All can learn from this.

  94. M. 19 May 2010

    I am german – i can post images of wonderful buildings made by nazis. Sarcasm.

    Most, if not all, ppl dont understand that any mosque is the result of religious megalomania.

    You dont need this buildings for prayers; but you need it for power demonstration and power abuse (social decomposition).

    Humans are crazy = architecture is crazy. This should be worldwide illegal to give groups so big places. 99% of all muslims are isolated in germany – nobody like them – no mosque in germany change that.

    • almamun 24 May 2010

      Islam never allows us such excessive show off. It tells us to beautify our mind/thought/soul rather than our houses, outlooks or else. We are recommended to donate money and wealth for others including poor, orphans, helpless, not spend on such magnificent structures. Allah (our god) calls them brother of Saitan(arch devil) who spends wealth unnecessarily.

      As you said, some people need to demonstrate. Allah would be happier if we prayed under a tin-shed and made better use of that money.

      • metpet 8 July 2010

        Creating beautiful things is is the result of divine influence – no matter what god you believe in. Creating is what mankind is supposed to do. Creativity comes from the creator.

        BTW, i’m German too and i don’t feel like Muslims are hated. There are some cultural and social problems, that are not significantly connected with religion but with the fact, that Germany was hiring millions of the most uneducated peasants from turkey in the 60′s to rebuild Germany. That has nothing to do with religion but with major social and educational differences. Just my thoughts on that.

      • Esskal 30 August 2010

        Many non-Muslima have visited these mosques and have accepted Islam after they felt extraordinary serenity and sense of peace while they were there. So if we look at the bright side, it’s not that bad either.

        • Esskal 30 August 2010

          I needed to add that I do agree with what you said at the end of your post. I am certainly not in the favour of investing in constructing masajid at controversial sites when the amount can go to much needed people suffering from natural disasters. Such an attitude is pure selfishness.

    • Fas Khan 9 July 2010

      Hello M (from Germany), I think its not your mistake you been following media. These building are not to show the power of muslims,
      Main reason for big building is to accomodate huge amouunt of people in religious acitivies. I guess you never been to Mosque neither you know anything about any religion not just Islam.
      I live in England I know many German people and never heard such hatred I think you are alone in that. Try to think positive manner It might help.
      The fundamental concept of Islam is to be humble and kill the pride. No to show off things.

  95. Tabi 19 May 2010

    Well done, you are doing really great job, Proud to be a Muslim, I also did a post about 40 Most beautiful Mosques Around The World on my blog. http://thewondrous.com/40-most-beautiful-mosques-around-the-world/

    I’m blinded by the beauty of these gorgeous temples! I’m sad so many of my fellow Americans have such ridiculous fears over Islam. I have a few Muslim friends and one of the things I envy is the rich culture they share. These buildings reflect the beauty of their souls.
