First time i have Offered Friday Prayer in Shah Faisal Mosque - Islamabad. Construction of the mosque began in 1976 after a $120 million grant from Saudi King Faisal, whose name the mosque bears. The unconventional design by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay was selected after an international competition. Without a dome, the mosque is shaped like a Bedouin tent, surrounded by four 260 feet (79 m) tall minarets. The design features eight-sided shell shaped sloping roofs forming a triangular worship hall which can hold 10,000 worshipers.
The Faisal Mosque was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 until 1993, when it was overtaken by mosques in MENA region of Saudi Arabia. Faisal Mosque is now the fourth largest mosque in terms of capacity.
