Make way for a parking lot
Cope lol, your faithless churches don’t hold a fricking candle to moorish mosques
is a Muslim allowed to paint a picture if it’s not in a religious setting? Can a Muslim kid draw Spider-Man if he wants to or he’s not allowed?
No, rather we find beauty in nature’s symmetry
Yeah moorish mosques are the best looking ones
They look better than other mosques, its refreshing to see
The only thing i dont like is the sandy color
Just imagine moorish mosques built with white marble or even better Black stones
You not allowed to draw living things like humans or animals
The rest is allowed like nature and trees and non living things
It’s not made of marble I believe but El Abidine mosque in Carthage is white
Its creme i think
They shouldnt have put a dome
The mosque would have look better in a full moorish style
Here is a mix between moorish and Greco Roman forms, I believe it’s in tunisia
briefly mistook this for a cathedral.
>You not allowed to draw living things like humans or animals
Persians painted people all time.
>b-but muh Shias aren't real Muslims
They were doing it before Ismail converted them.
What muslims do ≠ muslim law
Islam is perfect, muslims arent
They can commit sins like every other humans
Fair enough then. Don't guess I have a rebuttal.
>nature and trees and non living things
Um......Abdul..
yes the reasoning is truly absurd I agree
He said "living things like humans and animals". Basically beings with full sentience.
A child could draw things accidentally on their, but generally Sunni mosques themselves are supposed to not having art depicting sentient beings.
accidentally? so a child cannot draw super mario? if a muslim is in a public school in the west, are they not allowed crayons? I am not mocking, I am genuinely trying to understand.
are they allowed to play video games? can they watch cartoons? where are the lines drawn?
In the hadith, toys are allowed, so presumably children's drawings would be allowed
Kids aren't supposed to draw on the walls of mosques. As for whether they can do artwork on their own paper inside a mosque, that would be up to the mosque's admin or caretaker to decide. So it varies.
>Basically beings with full sentience.
So they can draw Black folk?
Watch yo mouth whiteboi
>humans and animals are the sames as trees
You know what i mean
In terms of Sunni Islam, a mosque's walls could go without depicting any living beings whatsoever, which is why geometric patterns have been popular. Or it could have depictions of vines and flowers, or just plants in general (see Damascus Mosque which shows trees, houses, etc)

>is a Muslim allowed to paint a picture if it’s not in a religious setting?
Depends on who you ask. If you ask traditional muslims, no. If you ask the author of the Quran, yes.
I know all about the aniconism in the religion and its history. I just mean, no one can draw an innocent picture? a kid can’t draw batman? you can’t doodle a smiley face?
This style is appropriate for North Africa. However, cultural idolatry (shirk) has led many to conflate arbitrarily random cultural facets with Islam itself.
This is what Algeria recently made their largest mosque, the largest on the continent (see picrel). Complete architectural and cultural abomination.
However, in West Asia, domes are native. In fact it was a Nabatean (Northern Arab) that popularized domes in Roman architecture and thereby in subsequent Byzantine and Persian architecture.

Mosques in South and Central Asia in turn get theirs from the Persian architecture. However, they have no place in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Anyone using it there (unless it was built by foreigners) is committing a form of idolatry. Additionally, even in South Asia and the Western World, if someone just sticks a random dome on a mosque where it makes no architectural sense aesthetically, then they are committing a form of idolatry.
It's a weird trend nowadays where you'll see Moorish-style arches and walls combined with Near Eastern-style domes, when actual Moorish architecture generally doesn't even have domes.
I agree that mosque is an abomination and a waste of money as well. It should have been done tastefully like Hassan 2 mosque. But yes, you’re right, North African mosques traditionally do no use domes, are more “fortress shaped” and normally have a singular rectangular shaped minaret, sometimes they also have an interior courtyard but that isn’t necessarily unique to them.
>The mosque would have look better in a full moorish style
I wouldn't even call it a Moorish style, at least from the outside. It looks closer to Assyrian and Babylonian, maybe even some Ancient Egypt.
Reminds me of one catholic church in england that got raped by modern architects and now looks like a mid stadium.
Latin American architecture takes from Mediterranean influences including Moorish.
That tower in OP doesn't house a bell but nowadays a loudspeaker for the "Call to Prayer". Historically it wouldn't have a speaker but someone climbing it's top to vocalize the Adhan orally.
The only thing distinctly Greco-Roman would be the columns, especially those indents that run along it. Still, it's culturally very appropriate for Tunisia.
The use of white in general might make people think of that too, but historically Greek and Roman architecture was always painted colorful, which merely washed off over time. The Taj Mahal and the Ancient Pyramids on the other hand were always white. The pyramids became yellow because sand erosion and rain caused the white marble to wear off.
I like this and I also like the domed ones. Got a problem with that?
didn't ask
fake religion
Says who?
That looks like a decently affluent latin american protestant church but with a bell tower and some orientalist arches.
This shit sucks.
This architecture is older than Latin America itself
Its way older than south america discovery and like
said its probably because moorish architecture influenced the iberians who colonised south america
