The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque ({{lang-ar|جَامِع ٱلسُّلْطَان قَابُوْس ٱلْأَكْبَر|Jāmiʿ As-Sulṭān Qābūs Al-Akbar}}) is the main mosque in the Sultanate of Oman, located in the capital city of Muscat.[1]

Construction

In 1992 Sultan Qaboos directed that his country should have a Grand Mosque. A competition for its design took place in 1993 and after a site was chosen at Bausher construction commenced in December 1994. Building work, which was undertaken by Carillion Alawi LLC,[2] took six years and seven months.[3]

The mosque is built from 300,000 tonnes of Indian sandstone. The main musalla (prayer hall) is square (external dimensions {{convert|74.4|x|74.4|m|ft|abbr=off}}) with a central dome rising to a height of fifty metres above the floor.[4] The dome and the main minaret ({{convert|90|m|ft|abbr=on}}) and four flanking minarets ({{convert|45.5|m|ft|abbr=on}}) are the mosque’s chief visual features. The main musalla can hold over 6,500 worshippers, while the women's musalla can accommodate 750 worshipers. The outer paved ground can hold 8,000 worshipers and there is additional space available in the interior courtyard and the passageways, making a total capacity of up to 20,000 worshipers.[5]

The mosque is built on a site occupying {{cvt|416,000|m2}},[4] and the complex extends to cover an area of {{cvt|40,000|m2}}. The newly built Grand Mosque was inaugurated by Sultan of Oman on May 4, 2001 to celebrate 30 years of the his reign.[6]

Interior

A major feature of the design of the interior is the prayer carpet which covers the floor of the prayer hall. It contains, 1,700,000,000 knots, weighs 21 tonnes and took four years to produce, and brings together the classical Persian Tabriz, Kashan and Isfahan design traditions. 28 colors in varying shades were used, the majority obtained from traditional vegetable dyes. It used to be the largest single-piece carpet in the world, but is now the second,[7] after the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.[8] This hand-woven carpet was produced by Iran Carpet Company (ICC) at the order of the Diwan of the Royal Court of Sultanate. The carpet measures over {{convert|70|×|60|m|ft|abbr=off}}, and covers the {{cvt|4,343|m2}} area of the praying hall.

The chandelier above the praying hall is {{convert|14|m|ft|abbr=off}} tall and was manufactured by the Italian company Faustig. Since the mosque is {{convert|90|m|ft|abbr=off}} high, the chandler looks proportional, but it used to be the world's largest chandelier,[7] before again being replaced in this respect by the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi.[9] It weighs 8.5 tons, includes 600,000 crystals, 1,122 halogen bulbs complete with dimming system, and includes a staircase for maintenance within the chandelier. Thirty-four smaller chandeliers of the same design are hung in other parts of the building.[10]
