4 Mosques which Non-Muslims are allowed to visit in Saudi Arabia

This new move by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its authorities comes as a much-needed one amidst all the negative and wrong perception that has been created by the religion, Islam. Much of the western world and those who do not know the truth believe that the religion is one of violence, bloodshed, and cruelty, however, it is quite contrary. 

 

King Saud Mosque: The King Saud Mosque which is the largest mosque in the city of Jeddah covers a huge area of 9,700 square meters. The largest dome of this mosque has a total diameter of 20 meters and reaches a total height of 42 meters. It is said that the mosque had been designed by world-renowned Egyptian Architect, Abdel Wahed Al Wakil.

Islam preaches interfaith harmony, equality, kindness and it is truly sad to see a few deranged groups who act out of their own accord and take the name of Islam, to find a justification for their deranged acts. We hope more and more non-Muslims will visit the mosques where they are allowed and try and learn about one of the most peaceful religions on earth.
