Comments on Aspects of Discussion on the Jamkaran Mosque
The outstanding features of the Jamkaran mosque are evident from the description. A clear picture can be seen of the enormous nature of the worship place. The mosque was built as a result of the funds contributed by President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. It was built with extra capacity, and space to hold more believers. A clear distinction can also be seen in the way Jamkaran is divided in terms of allocation of worship space. In this new mosque, we are shown that women worship from the balcony. We can be able to understand that this space was originally used as a washing area where people would come and perform cleansing rituals before beginning to worship.
Another essential aspect brought out in the description of the mosque is the aesthetic attributes of the mosque. The decorations in the mosque have a significant meaning. The drawings and calligraphy on the wall are a representation of Allah and his presence. Finally, a good explanation is given as to why there are no images in the Jamkaran mosque. It is because it is a measure to prevent idolatry.
