Over a 100,000 people attended the Friday prayers at the Bahria Town
Jamia Masjid and listened to the sermon of Maulana Tariq Jamil.
LAHORE: Renowned Islamic
scholar Maulana Tariq Jamil delivered the Friday sermon and led the
prayers at Bahria Town’s Grand Jamia Masjid.
This facility is Pakistan’s largest Mosque and the world’s 7th
largest. Maulana Tariq Jamil highly appreciated the beautiful
architecture of the mosque and also offered special prayers for Malik
Riaz Hussain.
Maulana Tariq Jamil appreciated the welfare initiatives of Bahria
Town and said that the entire nation should follow the examples set by
Malik Riaz.
He said that it is vital for the Muslims to be unified and repent for
their sins. He said Muslims should learn valuable lessons from the
events of Karbala.
Maulana Tariq Jamil urged the citizens to realise their responsibilities towards the country and strive for a better Pakistan.
Bahria Town made special security arrangements for the event. The
entire internal as well as external premises of the mosque were fully
occupied with more than 100,000 people, which included people of all
ages and sects. People had even come from surrounding cities. A large
number of women were also present in the dedicated areas for them.
This masterpiece of indigenous Pakistani architecture has been
designed by Nayyar Dada, and has a capacity to accommodate 70,000 people
which makes it the world’s 7th largest mosque. There are dedicated
praying areas for women, a school and an Islamic art gallery.
The interior is adorned with beautiful calligraphy and there are
hundreds of luminous chandeliers that have been imported from various
parts of the globe, creating a vibrant Islamic ambience.
The structure comprises four minarets, each standing tall at 165 feet
and a grand dome in the centre which is surrounded by 20 smaller domes.
The most fascinating feature of this masterpiece is that the exterior
consists of four million, 2.5 inch Multani tiles which have been
handmade with special Multani clay and manually placed by the craftsmen.
It took four years alone just to place these tiles.
