Earth, Sky, Divinity, Mortal.
Oneness. eg, Mosque.

i was looking up on mosques architecture at the school library and i told myself. if i ever goes around to becoming an established,rich architect, the first building i would build is the mosque. IF i ever, but i doubt i will. higher chances i wont but i can contribute in another way. the mosque, is not just a mosque and not just a place to pray.it would be wonderful if i experience an overwhelming interior space of a mosque. i think the mosque should gives us more than the feelings we already have when we enter a mosque. how we should experience the space when we step in the mosque, when we take our ablution, when we bow our heads towards Allah,when we have our foreheads on the praying mat and especially when we are having intimate time with Allah, Himself?these feelings can be enhanced through architecture and interior.wouldnt it be wonderful? when we step out of the mosque, feeling liberated and at peace? do i make sense here? i dont know how to explain further but i want that feeling.i want that mosque to linger in my head and makes me come back more because i feel Allah the most in that mosque. and not that we dont feel Him the most elsewhere but we need a place to feel belong. so lets all use of imagination and imagine that feeling...
