  • Cover photo description:
  • Faisal Mosque is the grand mosque in Islamabad. It is the fifth-largest mosque in the world and the largest within South Asia, located on the foothills of Margalla Hills in Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad. The mosque is frequented across the year by visitors from all over Pakistan who visit the capital. It carries architectural, religious and historical significance. Construction of the mosque began in 1976 after a $28 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. The mosque features a contemporary design consisting of eight sides of concrete shell and is inspired by the design of a typical Bedouin tent. The tall minarets of the mosque are visible miles away across the capital and invite the viewer to visit the mosque to experience its grandeur.
