This is the interior of a Malaysian mosque. Click on the image to view a full-size picture in a pop-up window.



I love the sense of open-ness in the design.

Hello. Thank you for the lovely picture of the Malaysian mosque's interior. It reminded me of a moment in a program shown on U.S. Public Broadcasting entitled "Islam: Empire of Faith." I was quite moved when the camera slowly panned up, up, up towards the top of the inside of a famous building in Turkey, while at the same time a man's voice sang. I believe it was a song of worship, and it was as though his voice spiraled up inside the domes of the building, climbing some kind of golden ladder to the heavens. Perhaps it was partly good editing, but I really think it spoke to a moment of watching cultural elements fit together just perfectly. I enjoyed it very much and truly did have a sense of elevation and have thought of it often since.

Is that the Masjid Ash-Shakirin in KL? If it is, I've been there!

According to the site I found this at, it's called Jame Mosque Kuching. It is apparently in Sarawak.
