15 Beautiful Mosques Around The World
Lately, I’ve been marveling at pictures of mosques around the world.
- Centuries-old dome-shaped buildings
- Towering minarets
- Kaleidoscope-coloured stained glass windows
- Surroundings of gardens and bodies of water
Feeling inspired, I decided to put together a post with images of 15 mosques around the world that truly capture the beauty of Islamic architecture.
Do Not Set Out On A Journey Except For Three Mosques
Strive to visit the following mosques:
- Al-Masjid Al-Haram
- Al-Masjid An-Nabawi
- Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Sahih al-Bukhari
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not set out on a journey except for three Mosques i.e. Al-Masjid-AI-Haram, the Mosque of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) , and the Mosque of Al-Aqsa, (Mosque of Jerusalem).”
Al-Masjid Al-Haram
Mecca, Saudi Arabia

So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
Qur’an 2:149
Al-Masjid An-Nabawi
Medina, Saudi Arabia

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Sahih al-Bukhari
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “One prayer in my Mosque is better than one thousand prayers in any other mosque excepting Al-Masjid AI-Haram.”
Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa
Old City of Jerusalem, Palestine

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
Qur’an 17:1
