Mosques (or masjids for Arabic) are places of worship for followers of Islam. These places of worship for muslims around the world have existed for more than a millennia. With the spread of Islam across the world for a thousand years, distinct styles have inevitably evolved from the earliest masjids. In the past century, fusions in architectural styles from different cultures have even resulted from the effects of globalization.
With today’s rapid modernization of the world, we can even see more advanced forms of architectures in the latest masjids. Nevertheless, the beauty and reverence for such sacred places of worship remains in these structures, all thanks to the rich history that these masjids possess.
What better time than to appreciate the beauty of these Islamic architectures than the month of Ramadan?
