Assalamu Alaikum sister Tree2008,


I'm happy for you. May Allah strengthen your faith and reward you with good deeds in this life and in the Hereafter. Aameen.


I found the following on Wikipedia about the Hassan II mosque:

The Hassan II Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الحسن الثاني‎) is a mosque located in Casablanca, Morocco. Designed by the French architect Michel Pinseau and built by Bouygues,[1] it is the second largest in the world (after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's courtyard. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres (689 ft).

Wikipedia is only as good as the sources they quote, so I'm not sure the information mentioned above is accurate. However, I'm almost sure that this mosque has the tallest minaret in the world.


Here is another striking photograph of this mosque:
