Faisal Masjid, Islamabad Pakistan

The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is the largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the sixth largest mosque in the world. It was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 to 1993.
Faisal Mosque is conceived as the National Mosque of Pakistan.
Faisal Mosque has the third largest capacity of accommodating worshippers in its adjoining grounds after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina.
The Faisal Mosque is named after the late King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, who supported and financed the project.

And if you google this mosque you will find so many pictures and some of them are really awesome. Below find few pictures from my recent trip to the Mosque. I wasnt able to get the shot i wanted becasue of the sign saying no pictures allowed inside the mosque. but i still managed to get few good ones.
