About the Grand Mosque of Kuwait
The Grand Mosque stands in Kuwait City and is Kuwait's largest mosque. Its main prayer hall measures 72 meters (236 ft) across on every side and has teakwood doors, and 144 windows bring in natural light. The grounds span 45,000 square meters (480,000 sq ft), and the building itself takes up 20,000 square meters (220,000 sq ft).
The dome is 26 meters (85 ft) in diameter and 43 meters (141 ft) high, and its decoration features the Asma al-Husna, which are the 99 names of God. The main hall holds up to 10,000 men, and a separate hall holds up to 950 women. There is also a library of Islamic reference works and documents, 350 square meters in size.
Construction began in 1979. The mosque was finished in 1407 AH (1986/1987 CE), on the first day of Shawwal, which is Eid ul-Fitr. Its minaret stands at the northwest corner and recalls Andalusian architecture. Under the eastern courtyard is a 5-level car park that can hold up to 550 cars.
