    "Though it is from the East that the sun rises, showing itself bold and bright without a veil, it burns and blaze with inward fire only when it escapes from the shackles of east and west..." ,Muhammad Iqbal. The Mosque, Masjid (from Arabic) is the most important institution of the Muslim world, also the predominant built form of Islamic architecture. We can clearly identity that the unique form of the Mosque, is derived from the essence of Islam itself, purity, simplicity and humbleness. The breakage of this essence is what has led to what we identity the crisis. The crisis is referring to the institution/spatial organization and architecture of the Mosque. Nowadays we find a tendency for the Mosque to be an architectural symbol catering mostly for the religious rights of the Muslim world, rather than catering for the everyday Muslim way of life."
