Nizamiya Turkish Mosque Interior - a photo on Flickriver

The magnificent Nizamiya Mosque in Midrand, on the northern outskirts of Greater Johannesburg, is said to be the largest Mosque in the Southern Hemisphere. It is frankly spectacular, architecturally inspired by the 11th-century Nizamiye Madrasahs institutions of higher learning. It is part of a spectacular Islamic complex, consisting of schools, a clinic and a bazaar. It is committed to the promotion of religious tolerance, with a Turkish Imam and Public Relations personnel who are wonderfully gracious and welcoming. Any visitor to Johannesburg should make a visit to this magical Mosque a priority, It is architecturally GLORIOUS! The attention to detail has been exquisite. It was opened in 2012. Note the play of the late afternoon light. There are plans to expand it into a University. . I would like to thank the Imam and Mark Straw, the organizer of the visit, for this marvellous opportunity! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizamiye_Mosque#cite_note-Comp-8 and nizamiye.co.za/
