Mosques or Masjids are places of worship for followers of Islam and they have existed for more than a thousand years in different parts of the world.
They are the epicentre of prayer and religious congregation in Islam.
With the spread of Islam across the world, 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 globalisation.
With today’s rapid modernisation of the world, we can even see more advanced forms of architectures in latest construction of mosques around the world.
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.
There can be no better time to appreciate the beauty of these Islamic architectures than the month of Ramadan.
