Английская Википедия:Grand Jamia Mosque
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious building Grand Jamia Mosque (Шаблон:Lang-ur), is a cultural complex under construction in Bahria Town Karachi, Pakistan. When completed, the complex will include what would be Pakistan's largest and the world's third-largest mosque according to capacity.[1] The mosque will be able to accommodate 800,000 worshippers at a time.[2]
Design
The design is a blend of Mughal and Persian architecture.[1] An area of Шаблон:Convert at the top of a Шаблон:Convert hill was selected so that the mosque would be visible from miles away. The design includes a Шаблон:Convert single-monument minaret.[3][4] The Mosque contains 150 domes in total.[2] Height of the largest single dome is 75 meters. High quality beige-coloured marble from Balochistan is used in the construction. The complex will be surrounded by large gardens surrounded by arch-shaped walls on all four sides.[5][6]
The mosque will have fountains within the courtyard. To protect worshippers from the sun, the courtyard will have automated umbrellas similar in design to the ones in Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
