Al-Azim
Mosque model was prepared by an Architectural
Committee that considered all Malay and
Islamic traditional unique architecture.
The unique design of the mosque enables
us to see it from two- dimension, inside
and outside.
The mosque outside
square base is match with the square three
level roof. The idea was taken from the
first mosque built by Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.
which stands on four Islamic elements,
the base represent 'Syariah' (Islamic
Law), first level represent 'Tariqat'
(way to be with Allah), second level represent
'Haqiqat' (the truth of Allah) and the
third level represent 'Makrifat' (knowing
Allah).
Al-Azim minaret stands
tall at 188 feet with a pentagon symbolize
the Islamic commandment. Besides as a
place for the 'bilal' to call on 'Azan'
it is also as the mosque landmark.
