The mosque’s distinctive charm lies in its glistening exterior, crafted predominantly from glass and steel cladding, thus earning it the moniker ‘crystal’ as the glass dome’s surface reflects the sunlight. At dusk and nightfall, vibrant lights illuminate the glass structure, enhancing its allure. Surrounding the main dome are eight smaller domes, with additional smaller ones scattered across the roof. Each dome, constructed of laminated and tempered glass, is crowned with a lofty pinnacle adorned with spheres and crescent finials. Strengthened by prefabricated steel structures visible from within, the domes contribute to the mosque’s grandeur.
Complementing the domes are four imposing minarets, firmly positioned at each corner of the mosque’s edifice. Drawing inspiration from Ottoman-style slender minarets, these laminated glass-clad structures are reinforced with steel frameworks and feature spiral staircases within. Comprising three tiers and topped with crescent finials, the slender minarets exude elegance. Adjacent to the entrance gateway, one can find minor turrets or smaller minarets integrated into the mosque’s architecture.
