The 35 000m2 building can accommodate 1,800 worshippers indoors and 500 in the courtyards. Two minarets which stretch up to 90 metres into the sky and point straight towards Makkah, Saudi Arabia. 2 000 tons of steel were used for the two large minarets. Islamic calligraphy has been inscribed on almost all aspects of the building's surface. The exterior of the mosque is covered with embossed verses from the Qur’an. Representing the five pillars of Islam, the mosque rests on five main structural columns. Four streams of water flow from the surrounding gardens into the building, each representing wine, milk, honey and water It was designed by Mangera Yvars Architects (from London and Barcelona) who was inspired by the relationship of "Knowledge and light". The Quraan places great emphasis on the importance of knowledge in order to reach enlightenment. Presently parking is available in the land next to the mosque. All five prayers are performed at the mosque and the public is welcome to come in and tour the mosque.
