MAKING AL-QURAN PROCESS

The factory is where all the process of making Al-Quran begins. It involves the development of structures and motifs, scanning of structures and motifs using AutoCAD software, coloring strategies and pure gold leaf applied sheets. The sheets were then colored one by one by a group of dyers, while verses from the Quran were copied by calligraphers.

After the Al-Quran was copied using a certain art of calligraphy, the verses of the Al-Qur'an were then revised and glorified. It is then sent to the Al-Quran Publication Control Division of the Ministry of the Interior for confirmation, final proof (computer) and printing (ozalid) before the printing process is carried out at the Nasyrul Quran Complex itself.

THE BLUE MOSQUE

THE JEWEL OF ISTANBUL

The Blue Mosque is a historical mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built between 1609 and 1616 by the architect Mehmet Ağa under the instruction of Sultan Ahmed I. It is known for its unique architectural design, which includes four "elephant foot" pillars and a central dome that is flanked by four semi-domes. It also features a vast amount of handmade ceramic tiles decorating the interior and is known as the "Blue Mosque" due to the blue color of the tiles.

The interior of the Blue Mosque is known for its grandeur and beauty. The walls and domes are adorned with over 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles, also known as Iznik tiles, in shades of blue, green and white, featuring intricate designs of tulips, roses, carnations, and lilies. The central dome, which has a diameter of 23.5 meters and is 43 meters high, is surrounded by four semi-domes, creating a nearly square shape. The 260 windows, placed strategically, provide ample natural light and enhance the beauty of the tilework. The mosque also has a large central prayer hall and several smaller prayer rooms, as well as a courtyard with a fountain for performing ablutions before prayer.

Building usage: Mosque

STYLE: ISLAMIC, LATE CLASSICAL OTTOMAN

The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is a combination of traditional Islamic and late classical Ottoman characteristics in Istanbul, Turkey. The design of the mosque is primarily influenced by Ottoman architectural traditions, but it also integrates aspects from other Islamic architectural forms, such as the usage of numerous minarets, which is more frequent in traditional Islamic architecture. The central dome of the mosque, as well as the semi-domes and use of calligraphy and exquisite tilework, are distinguishing features of Ottoman architecture. The mosque also has a huge central courtyard, which is common in traditional Islamic construction. The inside of the mosque is decorated with thousands of blue Iznik tiles with beautiful floral and geometric motifs.

Iznik Tiles

Iznik tiles were used to decorate the walls and domes of Ottoman mosques and palaces. The tiles were typically made in shades of blue and turquoise. Many examples feature the use of cobalt blue, which was highly prized color at the time.

FourPointed Arches

The arabesque patterns on the tiles are created using a technique called "cuerda seca," in which the design is carved into the tile and then filled with colored glazes. The repeated patterns create a sense of movement and fluidity throughout the mosque's interior.

Stained Glass Window

The blue color that gives the mosque its name comes from the thousands of blue tiles that adorn its walls, including its stained glass windows. These windows let in light and add to the mosque's overall beauty.

IZNIK TILES

Iznik tiles are a type of ceramic tile that originated in the town of Iznik in Turkey during the 15th and 16th centuries. They are known for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and high level of craftsmanship. The tiles were primarily used to decorate the interiors of Ottoman buildings, such as mosques, palaces, and tombs. The most common designs found on Iznik tiles include floral patterns, geometric shapes, and calligraphy.

The production of Iznik tiles reached its peak during the 16th century, and the quality of the tiles produced during this period is considered to be the highest. However, the production of Iznik tiles declined in the 17th century due to economic and political reasons, and the technique for producing these high-quality tiles was lost. In the 20th century, a group of Turkish artisans rediscovered the technique for producing Iznik tiles and began to produce them again.

Iznik tiles are widely admired for their aesthetic beauty and are considered a valuable form of Islamic art. The Blue Mosque in Istanbul is one of the most famous buildings that feature Iznik tiles, with over 20,000 ceramic tiles decorating the interior.

LAYOUT PLAN

The central dome is supported by four huge fluted columns and rests on delicate pendentives (triangular segments of a spherical surface). To expand the prayer space beyond the span of the central dome, a succession of half-domes cascade outwards from the centre, eventually joining the mosque's external walls. Four of the mosque's six minarets (towers usually erected for the call to prayer) are located on the corners of the prayer hall, while the other two flank the courtyard's external corners. Each of these "pencil" minarets has a succession of balconies decorating its thin design.

TAJ MAHAL

INTERNATIONAL TREASURE

The Taj Mahal is a massive mausoleumcomplex built in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to hold the remains of his beloved bride. The renowned complex, which was built over a 20-year period on the southern bank of the Yamuna River in Agra, India, is one of the most spectacular instances of Mughal architecture, which incorporated Indian, Persian, and Islamic elements. At its heart lies the Taj Mahal, which is made of gleaming white marble that appears to change colour depending on the light. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, and it is still one of the world's most recognised buildings, as well as a breathtaking emblem of India's rich heritage.

Construction began around 1632 and would continue for the next two decades. The chief architect was probably Ustad Ahmad Lahouri, an Indian of Persian descent who would later be credited with designing the Red Fort at Delhi.

Eight Pishtaq Arches

The Taj Mahal has eight pishtaq arches on its main facade. These arches are adorned with intricate carvings and inlaid with precious stones. The central arch is the largest of the eight and rises to a height of 108 feet (33 meters).

Carved Marble

The calligraphy on the Taj Mahal was carved by Mughal artisans. The intricate carvings on the building are made with great care and attention to detail. They also serve a functional purpose, such as protecting the delicate white marble from weathering and providing shade and cooling for the interior.

Tilework: Lapis lazuli, Turquoiseand Malachite

The tiles used in the Taj Mahal are made of glazed multicolored ceramic, with blue, green, and yellow being the most prominent colors. The interior and exterior walls of the building are adornedwith beautiful tilework, including inlaid floral and geometric designs.

LAYOUT PLAN

The Taj Mahal complex consists of several structures including the main tomb, mosque, and guest house. The main tomb is the centerpiece of the complex and is situated at the end of a long raised platform. The tomb is surrounded by four minarets at the corners, and a mosque and a guest house are located on either side of the tomb. The garden surroundingthe Taj Mahal is also an important feature of the complex. The garden is designed in the traditional Mughal style with raised pathways, fountains, and lush greenery. The garden is symmetrical and is divided into four main sections by long water channels. The overall layout of the Taj Mahal is carefully planned to create an harmonious and balanced composition, with the main tomb and surrounding structures blending seamlessly with the beautiful garden setting.

The mausoleumitself, which sits in the centre of a broad pedestal 23 feet (7 metres) high, is made of white marble that reflects different colours depending on the strength of sunshine or moonlight. It comprises four virtually similar facades, each with a large central arch that rises to 108 feet (33 metres) at its peak and chamfered (slanted) corners with smaller arches. The towering central dome, which stands 240 feet (73 metres) tall at the point of its finial, is encircled by four smaller domes. The main dome's acoustics force a single note of a flute to echo five times.
