THE DESIGN AIMS
An-Nabawi Mosque is the second most sacred mosque to the Muslims who constantly remind us of the Prophet’s Messenger Rasulullah S.A.W(may peace be upon him). The dome elements, canopy umbrellas and towers are among the elements that are adapted to achieve the equivalent of An-Nabawi Mosque. By adopting such a design, it is intended to remembered to the Messenger of Allah and to look forward to his blessing.
As was the function of the mosque in Islamic times, the mosque was used to achieve the same purpose as the hub for the daily activities of Muslims in the surrounding residential area. The mosque will have two levels of main floor to maximizing the use of the space. The main prayer room is located on the ground floor while the first floor occupies additional prayer room for the Friday Prayer and Administrative Office. At certain events held by women prayer, the prayer room on the First Floor may be reserved for women prayer.
