The Sharjah Mosque is a place of worship in the Emirate of Sharjah featuring expansive white marble buildings, two towering minarets, and decorated domes. The complex provides various spaces for different purposes, including main prayer halls and separate areas for different groups of worshippers.
Construction of the mosque began in 2014 under the patronage of Sultan Al Qasimi and was completed in 2019. Its completion marked a significant religious and architectural achievement for the region.
The mosque displays a modern interpretation of Islamic architecture through its white marble surfaces and geometric patterns that reflect traditional artistic forms. Visitors can observe the carefully designed interior spaces and the landscaped grounds that emphasize spiritual contemplation.
Visitors can explore the grounds on foot via a walking path that encircles the mosque. Non-Muslim visitors have designated areas available, and the maintained gardens provide shaded spots and areas to rest.
