A lot of them, yes I have visited...
No not all are my photographs,
but I dont think I would mind if someone uses my photos of mosque,
to tell the world, that these are santuaries of the the soul.
No furnitures inside, and everyone is the same when inside the mosque, be you king, president or beggar.
Whoever comes first can pray in the front line.
The only exception is the one that lead the prayer, the Imam. |

These are palaces fit for a King...
In a way that is true since we do consider out Creator the King of the Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc. |

Prostration is the placement of the body in a reverentially or submissively prone position. By analogy, the term is sometimes used to describe physical exhaustion or illness which results in physical collapse, or metaphorically, for military defeat.
Prostration as part of religious and spiritual practices:
In Christianity, in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, prostrations are used during the imposition of Holy Orders. Some Eastern Orthodox practitioners also use "low bows" (zemnoy poklon) during worship services. In the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, prostrations ("profound bows") can be used in place of genuflections for those who are unable to genuflect.
In Buddhism, prostrations are used to show reverence to the Triple Gem.
In Hinduism, eight-limbed (ashtanga pranama) and five-limbed (panchanga pranama) prostrations are included in the religious ritual of puja.
In Islam, prostrations (sujud) are used to praise and glorify Allah and are included in ones daily prayers. In addition, the thirty-second chapter (sura) of the Qur'an is called As-Sajda ("The Prostration").
In Judaism, the Talmudic texts as well as writings of Gaonim and Rishonim indicate that prostration was common among many Jewish communities until some point during the Middle Ages. Members of the Karaite denomination practice full prostrations during prayers. Ashkenazi Orthodox Jews prostrate during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur as did Yemenite Jews during the Tachanun part of regular daily Jewish prayer until somewhat recently. Ethiopian Jews traditionally prostrated during a holiday specific to their community known as Sigd. Sigd comes from a root word meaning prostration in Amharic, Aramaic, and Arabic. There is a move among Talmide haRambam to revive prostration as a regular part of daily Jewish worship.
In modern yoga practice, "sun salutations" (Sūrya namaskāra) are a regular part of practitioners' routines.
In the Baha'i Faith, a single prostration is to be performed in the place of each unsaid obligatory prayer.
Prostration in other contexts:
In Imperial China, a form of prostration known as a kowtow was used as a sign of respect and submission |

An-Nahl (The Bee)
16:48 HAVE, THEN, they [who deny the truth] never considered any of the things that God has created [54] _ (how] their shadows turn right and left, Prostrating themselves before God and utterly submissive [to His will]? [55]
An-Nahl (The Bee)
16:49 For, before God Prostrates itself all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth - every beast that moves, and the angels: [56] [even] these do not bear themselves with false pride: |

My oldest son is a carpenter...
Quite an artist in building homes and does home improvement...
He would be fascinated by the design, materials used, etc. to build such amazing structures.
