The mosque's spiritual atmosphere is enhanced by the deliberate use of natural light, and the

placement of openings serves to emphasise the relationship between the divine and the
physical world. A sense of divine illumination is created by the play of light behind the

mihrab and through the perforated dome, which highlights the vertical connection to the

heavens(fig.26).

Within, the interior is filled with triangle-shaped patterns(fig.27) that cross over carpets,

walls, and light fixtures. With an open perforated screen separating it from the main hall, the

elevated female prayer area offers seclusion without sacrificing its significant connection to
it. This design takes into account cultural and spiritual subtleties within the sacred space in

addition to architectural elegance.
