Architecture
[edit | edit source]Construction of the mosque began in 2013 on 15 bighas of land on the east bank of the Jhenai River in South Pathalia village, Nagda Simla Union, Gopalpur Upazila, Tangail District. It was built by the Heroic Freedom Fighter Mohammad Rafiqul Islam Welfare Trust. The estimated cost of construction was BDT 100 crore (US$12.3 million).[1]
The mosque has the capacity to accommodate approximately 15,000 worshippers,[1] with plans to expand the mosque to accommodate 30,000 worshippers.[2]
The mosque is a square building. There are four 31-metre (101 ft) high corner towers, and four shorter 25-metre (81 ft) high towers at the corners of the square space covered by the 25-metre (81 ft) central dome. The central dome is surrounded by 200 smaller 5.2-metre (17 ft) domes. An adjacent 137-metre (451 ft) high minaret has been constructed immediately to the southwest and is the tallest concrete minaret in the world.[2][3] The western wall of the mosque is inscribed with the entire Qur'an.[1]
In addition to the main worship space, the mosque complex includes an orphanage, an elder care home, and a hospital with free treatment.[1] The complex also features a helipad.[4]
