Faisal Mosque - Islamabad

This is my entry for #monomad challenge by @monochromes

Islamabad (meaning City of Islam) is the new and modern capital of Pakistan (old capital is Rawalpindi, more chaotic, plenty of markets and narrow streets).

Here Faisal mosque, the main mosque of the city, amazing and huge, with its white and very high minarets.

Here the main entrance:

We left shoes outside, it is forbidden to take them inside.

As you know, there are different places to pray, for men and for women.

About the story, forgive me if I use the words by Wikipedia:
"The Faisal Mosque (Urdu: فیصل مسجد, romanized: faisal masjid) is the national mosque of Pakistan, located in capital Islamabad. It is the sixth-largest mosque in the world and the largest within South Asia, located on the foothills of Margalla Hills in Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad. It is named after the late King Faisal I of Saudi Arabia. The mosque features a contemporary design consisting of eight sides of concrete shell and is inspired by the design of a typical Bedouin tent."

The stairs between places, included an empty fountain:

A lot of people here, very friendly:

I give you hope brother you come and this time there will be no failure to serve you. And one thing if you come this time it will be a source of happiness for me and my family.

This time, you must come.and give me apportunity to serve you🙏

Thank you very much bro!

Only thanks will not work until you come, brother. And I will be waiting for you to come. And I will remember day and night, brother, you are kind to me like brothers. And I will forget you. This is my disloyalty and selfishness my brother. Please give me a chance and make a program to come instead of thanks.plz bro
