Masjid al-Amudayn, the Mosque of Two Pillars, was renovated under the direction of Mohamed Zakariya. The mosque serves as a reminder of what Islamic architecture can accomplish when, according to tradition, it finds a harmonious balance between the indigenous culture within which it operates and the centuries old tradition of art and design inspired by the religion.
This mosque is located in Washington D.C. at Georgetown University. It was featured in the Spring 2005 issue of Islamica Magazine. (Photographs copyright www.aasilahmad.net) |
