It asotnishes me that we have Muslims even justifying that obnoxious caricature of a Musjid. The 'Islam' that is promoted and expounded by the organisers can be clearly seen with the maloon ribbon cutting ceremony. has this Ummah's firaasat degenerated to such a level of stupidity. The following ahaadith may be salubrious: “One of the signs of the Day of Judgment is when the masajid are embellished." (Al Mu'jam Al Kabir 10/229) "When you embellish your masajid and adorn your masaahif (Quran), then destruction is upon you." (Nawadir ul Usool fi Ahadith Rasool 3/256. From the above statements it becomes clear that architecture is in no means an indication of the piety of a Muslim nation. With regards to the numbers in the congregation that you have alluded this also is no indication. Rasulullah states, “The masaajid before the Day of Judgment will be populated but empty of any guidance." (Shu'ab ul Iman 3/211, All Sunan Warida fil Fitan 3/544). May Allah guide me and the Ummah and bring us back upon the practice of Rasulullah . Ameen.
