I'll be honest, I'm disappointed with the design.
As an architectural work, it's nice, the main building looks very cutting edge. If you saw this mosque in somewhere like Doha, you'd say wow it's nice.
I'm Muslim, I ain't saying that to show off, I usually don't feel a need to say it, I'm just saying it so people don't think I'm a nimby 😂
But anyway, I really don't like mosques with fake minarets, if they aren't going to use the minaret it shouldn't be there. The first mosques in Islamic history had no minarets, they used to call people to prayer from the rooftops, I think fake minarets are tacky.
I take issue with overly expensive mosques, with expensive interiors, when the Muslim world is, let's be honest, on its knees in a lot of places. I take issue with kids in Gambia or Bangladesh drinking dirty water while us lot have glittery mosques. I don't know who paid for it, who donated towards it, whether it's the Sauds or the Emiratis or rich Gujarati businessmen, I just know that it's excessive and we aren't taught to be excessive in Islam, quite the opposite.
Anyway, whatever, I shan't be praying in it anyway. Different wrapper, same old filling. Gave up hope of finding somewhere to accommodate my unorthodoxy long ago.
