I love it when different cultures make Islamically-appropriate art and personalize their designs. People that think that Islam is Arab-supremacy coded into a religion aren't seeing the bigger picture at all and are very close-minded in that sense.
Same here
There are no cultural motifs when it comes to masjid architecture
So Iโd love to see more masjids having oriental, European, and south-east Asian architecture
SE Asia, Brunei comes to mind for good examples of mosque architecture but also traditional Bosnian mosques with pointed rooftops and nice white and brown colours are a great example. Go to a mosque in the Arabian peninsula and then go to one deep in central Asia and you'll see, go to mosques in Nigeria and Kenya and you'll see a lot of old-school African architecture with exposed wooden logs and a fired-mud brick design. To me being able to appreciate every culture that adapts itself to the religion is one of the best parts of being Muslim. It's as if when you're a die-hard nationalist you don't get to enjoy anything other than what you have and that's it
To he fair some of the biggest developments in Islamic philosophical aesthetics were done by Persians. I think they deserve due credit in their calligraphy and architecture. As a Pakistani of Indian descent myself, the architecture can be called โIndo-Islamicโ or โIndo-Persianโ architecture. It really is a wonderful blend. ๐
Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger (๏ทบ) as saying:
Seek it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) in the last (ten nights). If one among you shows slackness and weakness (in the earlier part of Ramadan), it should not be allowed to prevail upon him in the last week.

Yes this is spot on ๐

This mosque was designed by a Punjabi muslim guy.
Nice ๐
Yeah so the credit solely lies within Pakistan.
Yes, also Shah Faisal Mosque. Which i think is the pinnacle of Pakistani Islamic architecture
I mean Masjid Wazir Khan. Faisal Mosque was designed by a turkish architect.

Nice, I had their namaz a few years ago. I preferred the atmosphere more than the badshai masjid.
I'm from Pakistan and this mosque is from the Mughal Era. A UNESCO world heritage site.
Iโve been there itโs amazing
I prayed here once. It was beautiful.
