'CHINESE ARCHITECTURE' on MASJID ?

After reading the newspaper today on 22nd of july, i found this one article about the chinese architecture on a mosque in Kelantan which known as 'Masjid Beijing'

My first impression was like is that possible? Because before this when people talks about the concept on designing a mosque will directly go onto the 'Islamic Architecture'

As for me, based on my understanding about Islam is, Every land, every place, every edge of this world is the place where we can do our prayer as this whole World is made from Him. You can do ur prayers anywhere as long as its clean and safe for you to done it.

These are some of the pictures i takes from the internet,

So, as for me, the designing of the mosque will never block our idea on only one as we known in 'Islamic Architecture' . It depends on the place, people, culture and races.

Some of it are as we can see designing of mosque in different country.

For example;

Great Mosque, Xian, China

 The entry to the first courtyard 

(about 360 years)

 The bracketing system applied on the roof of the gate.

Just like what we learn on the history of architecture last semester about the bracketing system in China called as 'DOUGONG'

 

The gate leading to the 'court of heaven'

Geometric motifs or verses from the Koran.  

Quwwat ul-Islam Mosque in Delhi India

The minarets, (tower) erected by Qutb to celebrate the Islamic conquest of India

 Plundered Hindu column used in the Hasty construction on the mosque in1192

Detail on the plundered column (carving)

okay, im sorry cuz im goin tooooo far from the topic above.

What exactly i want to share is about the

'MASJID BEIJING' in Kelantan.

Sultan Ismail Petra Silver Jubilee Mosque known as Masjid Beijing by the locals.

 

The mosque features a pagoda architecture on the entrance that makes it look Chinese, similar to the ancient mosque in Niujie, Beijing
