Building facilities
The building has a basement car park, 18 classrooms, an auditorium, a computer room and a elevator serving all floors. It could accommodate about 5,000 worshippers in one congregation.
The jewel-shaped dome culminating with star-like apex symbolizes unity and act of transition between Allah and His faithful servants. The multi-painted star tinted glass roof symbolizes openness. The six minarets symbolize the six tenets of Iman. One of the tallest minarets signifies concentration, openness and victory, as well as sovereignty and divinity. It also provides a high point from which to summon the faithful for congregational prayer and is lighted at night and highlights the elevated crescent and star.[3]
