THE first masjid on earth, say the scholars, was built by Nabi

Adam [as] with the guidance and help of the Angels.

Adam, they say, wanted to create an earthly replica of

the Holy House he had seen in Paradise. Today the site of

this building is called the Ka’bah, around which Muslims walk

devotionally seven times in the same way Angels do in the

Seventh Heaven.

The Ka’bah, which is the central focus of the Makkah Sanctuary,

was transformed into the Qiblah – the direction of prayer – in

623 CE, some 17 months after the Prophet’s [saw] migration

from Makkah to Madinah. This was when the Prophet [saw] was

informed in Surat ul-Baqarah:

“We will make you turn towards a qiblah that will please you.”

Previously, the Muslims had been facing Jerusalem or al-Quds,

where the son of Adam, the Prophet Shith [as], had built the

second masjid on earth 40 years after the one in Makkah. Al-

Quds, the place of holiness – like Madinah and Makkah – is a

sanctified devotional space specifically blessed by the Qur’an

in Surat ul-Isra’:

“[He] who took His slave on a night journey from al-Masjid-al-Haram (Makkah) to the farthest mosque (Jerusalem), the neighbourhood which We have blessed…”

So honoured are these sanctuaries that the Prophet [saw] has

told us via the honoured Companion, Abu Darda, that prayer

in Makkah has a spiritual value of 100,000 times more than in

any other masajid, except for Madinah (1,000 times) and Al-

Aqsa (500 times).

The word ‘masjid’ is derived from the word ‘sajada’, which

means ‘to prostrate’. In other words, a masjid is a place of

prostration. The modern word ‘mosque’ originally derives from

the Italian version of masjid, ‘moscheta’, which became

‘mezquita’ in Spanish and ‘mosque’ in French.

Islam, the final revealed faith before the apocalyptic End

Days, is unique in that the whole earth – except for places such

as bathrooms – has been declared a masjid. This is deeply

symbolic, indicating that Allah is aware of all of His Creation. It

demands that not only other beings, but also every atom of the

universe, must be treated with respect in the omni-presence of

the Creator.

The first masjid, al-Quba, which the Qur’an says was built on

the ‘foundations of piety’, was constructed out of stones, palm

trunks and fronds. The Madinah masjid, which was adjacent to

the Prophet’s home, was built of the same, slowly evolving into

its present form.

The architecture of the masjid has also evolved over the

centuries with unifying features – such as domes, mimbars

and mihrabs – reflected in a myriad of cultures. Travelling the

world, we see the wooden pagodas of China, the Byzantine

lines of Jerusalem and Damascus, the pencil-thin minarets

of Istanbul, the towering portals of Samarkand and the tiled

fantasias of Persia.

All are focused on one thing – the pleasure of Allah – the

reward of building a masjid the receiving of another one in

Paradise for the builder.

The metaphor of the masjid – traditionally more a community

centre than just a place of worship – is reflected via its features.

The old Turkish masajid – based on extensive waqf – used to

have schools, food kitchens, funeral parlours, hospitals, shops

and libraries attached to their premises.

Over the centuries most masajid have been built with a dome

– whether the onion dome of Mughal India, the conical

dome of Anatolia, the fluted domes of Bukhara or the flatter,

ascending domes of the Ottomans – to symbolise that in the

prayer hall the worshipper is standing under the canopy of the

heavens.

THE MASJIDA focus on mosques of the world

Even the pillar – inspired by the palm trunk thousands of years

ago – enjoys its own metaphor of holding up the skies and the

truth of the revealed word. The mimbar – or the ‘pulpit’ – as a

raised platform, has enjoyed an equally symbolic evolution.

Originally, the Prophet [saw] used to deliver his Friday sermon

from a palm trunk. He used it to give himself an elevation

above the congregation. When the crowds got bigger, and

there was a need for a higher platform, the palm trunk was

heard weeping.

According to tradition, the Prophet [saw] ordered that the old

mimbar be buried below the new one. Today, the mimbar

resembles an ornate staircase leading up to the heavens. These

beautifully carved and plastered mimbars are ascended on

Fridays by the imam who delivers the khutbah, or the sermon.

The imam will either take three steps, whilst holding his

ceremonial staff, and turn to face the jama’at before him, or

ascend the stairs, but not to the top – as the top section is left

vacant out of respect for the Prophet [saw]. In the days of the

Caliphate, the mimbar was a platform of enormous authority,

with the Caliph delivering his edicts from it via his imams.

The mihrab, the prayer niche, indicates the direction of the

Qiblah. It is the focal point of the imam, who is followed by

the worshippers. Apart from also symbolising the extension of

prayer into the outside world, the shape of the mihrab – and

even the dome – would offer acoustic help to the imam,

allowing his voice to project back into the prayer hall in eras

when there were no microphones.

The Deloitte and Dubai Islamic Forum has estimated that there are currently over 4 million masajid serving just over 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.

When he built the Sulaymaniyyah masjid in Istanbul over 700

years ago, Sinan the famous Ottoman architect would lie on

his back in the mihrab fine-tuning the acoustics of the masjid

with water-filled glass jars.

The minaret, a tower, represents the elevated space from

which the call to prayer is made, from where the ‘successful

message’ is delivered. Before electricity, the muadh-hin would

climb the stairs of these towers to make the call to prayer, the

adhan, from a balcony.

Currently, the tallest minaret in the world is at the King Hasan

masjid in Casablanca that was constructed in 1993. It

stands above the Atlantic at 200 metres and can be seen

for kilometres out to sea. A minaret of 265 metres is currently

under construction in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. As Islam

expands to all corners of the globe, masajid are fast becoming

a naturalised feature of its city landscapes.

For example, there are 1,000 masajid in Great Britain, 3,000

in France and over 2,000 in the US. The Deloitte and Dubai

Islamic Forum has estimated that there are currently over 4

million masajid serving just over 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.
