Much like its home on Palm Jumeirah, the Abdul Rahman Siddique Mosque moves away from convention in both look and feel. A distinctly modern structure, the mosque uses principals of minimalism to make spirituality and worship the central focus. From a linear minaret to a cubist main hall, the mosque's rigid lines and geometric elements separate it from its counterparts across the city. While white and blue glass glisten in the sunshine from the outside, it's constructed in a manner that allows natural light to filter towards the qibla – the direction Muslims face while praying towards Mecca.
