Several of the early mosques in the Ottoman Empire were originally churches or cathedrals from the Byzantine Empire, with the Hagia Sophia (one of those converted cathedrals) informing the architecture of mosques from after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. [40] Still, the Ottomans developed their own architectural style characterized by large central rotundas (sometimes surrounded by multiple smaller domes), pencil-shaped minarets, and open facades.

[136] Ningxia officials were notified on 3 August 2018 that the Weizhou Grand Mosque would be forcibly demolished because it had not received the proper permits before construction. [137] [138] [139] Officials in the town said that the mosque had not been given proper building permits, because it is built in a Middle Eastern style and includes numerous domes and minarets. [137] [138] The residents of Weizhou alarmed each other through social media and finally stopped the mosque destruction by public demonstrations. [138] See also Islam forbids figurative art, on the grounds that the artist must not imitate God's creation. Mosques are, therefore, decorated with abstract patterns and beautiful inscriptions. Decoration is often concentrated around doorways and the miḥrāb. Tiles are used widely in mosques. They lend themselves to pattern-making, can be made with beautiful subtle colors, and can create a cool atmosphere, an advantage in the hot Arab countries. Quotations from the Quran often adorn mosque interiors. These texts are meant to inspire people by their beauty, while also reminding them of the words of Allah. [74] Prayer hall Kramer, Martin, ed.

In some countries, the minaret is used to call Muslims to prayer five times a day, but we don’t do that here. Under most interpretations of sharia, non-Muslims are permitted to enter mosques provided that they respect the place and the people inside it.

One of these feature symbols is the spiral. The "cosmic spiral" found in designs and on minarets is a references to heaven as it has "no beginning and no end". [97] Mosques also often have floral patterns or images of fruit and vegetables. These are allusions to the paradise after death. [97] Rules and etiquette Prayer leadingKleiner, Fred S. (2010).
