Abstract

The article focuses on the emergence of contemporary mosques in the Gulf region, showcasing how they blend modern design with traditional Islamic architecture. Notable examples include the Abdulaziz Abdullah Sharbatly Mosque in Jeddah, the Mamluki Lancet mosque in Kuwait, and the Education City mosque in Doha. The article highlights the Masjid Bab Al Salam in Muscat, designed by Omani firm Altqadum, which features a minimalist aesthetic with a tranquil complex and innovative design elements, such as a chandelier made of over 1,600 crystal bulbs and a unique window in place of a traditional mihrab. These modern houses of worship reflect a shift towards more understated and introspective spaces in the region's architectural landscape. [Extracted from the article]
