The King Salman Mosque Is Now The Largest Mosque In The Maldives And It Is Set To Open Soon

Located in the capital of Maldives, Malé, the King Salman mosque is set to be the largest mosque on the archipelago. King Salman has donated $25 million towards the construction of this mosque.

The first photos of the interior of the mosque made its way to the press earlier this week and it looks absolutely stunning.

The five minarets that the mosque is adorned with symbolize the five core tenets of Islam.
