Today my topic is based on Faisal Mosque,a very historic mosque in Pakistan. It is renowned mosque throughout the world. Shah Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz from Saudi Arabia helped financially in construction,in 1987. It was known as the largest mosque during the period of 1987-1993,after that its place was overtaken by Hassan II(Morocco). Its design was made by Turkish architecture,named Vedat Dalokay.
