Design concept

An-Nahdhah Mosque is a new-generation mosque, serving religious needs of the local Muslim community and providing a platform for other social services. The mosque performs religious education; provides family, youth and social development; and serves as a center for information services and referrals.

The mosque is designed so that most areas, such as the basement and classrooms, can be used as extensions to the praying area.[4]
