It is indeed an amazing place.
When I first step into Masjid Negara, one of the most eye
catching elements of the building is the umbrella concept dome. This is by far
the most significant feature I’ve seen compared to other mosques I encounter,
as the meaning directly penetrates into our religion and culture both architecturally
and aesthetically. Another part that gives me an impression is the sense of
place in the mosque. Standing at the middle of a big hall supported by long
columns, added with façade crafted by calligraphies, being there can just
create a feeling of peaceful and holiness of space. Even going out of the
building, the arrangement and planning directs people into the building and the
design attracts people of a wanting of interest to learn more about Islam.
Therefore, Masjid Negara to me is a successful mosque that has all the 7
Unifying Principles of Islamic Architecture.
