    This is a beautiful mosque and the heart of Kuwait City. What I liked best was the friendliness of the staff and tour guides. Also, there is a small but nice calligraphy museum on-site. My tour guide actually spent over 10 years in the United States and spoke excellent English. She was friendly and jovial, and a big advocate of Kuwait. She was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. Although this may not be the largest or most beautiful mosque in the world, it's worth a visit if you're in town.

    (Translated by Google) The idea of ​​creating a great mosque On the supreme initiative of the late Emir Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (may God have mercy on him) The idea of ​​establishing this majestic Islamic came after the great market mosque narrowed with worshipers on public occasions witnessing an official presence which necessitated the necessity of building a large mosque to accommodate the large numbers of worshipers with its provision of all administrative and technical services To become the most prominent Islamic landmark in Kuwait and the mosque has a department consisting of a director, observers, department heads and employees, all of whom strive to work hard and diligently for the architecture of Bait Allah (Original) فكرة إنشاء المسجد الكبير بمبادرة سـامية من الأميـر الـراحل الشيـخ جـابر الأحمـد الجابر الصبــاح (رحمـه الله) جاءت فكرة إنشاء هذا الإسلامي الشامخ بعد أن ضاق مسجد السوق الكبير بالمصلين بالمناسبات العامة التي تشهد حضوراً رسمياً مما استدعى ضرورة بناء مسجد كبير يستوعب الأعداد الغفيرة من المصلين مع تجهيزه بكافة الخدمات الإدارية والفنية ليصبح أبرز المعالم الإسلامية في الكويت وللمسجد إدارة تتألف من مدير ومراقبين ورؤساء أقسام وموظفين يسعون جميعهم للعمل بجد واجتهاد لعمارة بيت الله

The mosque covers an area of ​​45,000 square meters, of which 25,000 square meters are built, and 20,000 square meters exposed, which form the outer gardens and corridors of the mosque. It is the largest mosque in the State of Kuwait, where it prays in the mosque in the courtyards of the mosque on the night of 27 of Ramadan, about 170,000 people.

The worshipers go to prayers during Qiyam prayer, Sheikh Mashari bin Rashid Al-Afasy, Sheikh Fahd Al-Kandari and Sheikh Salah Al-Hashem. The Great Mosque consists of many parts that play its role in harmony and rhythm. On the one hand, it is hardly present in another mosque except in the rare ones of the world's mosques, and on the other hand it represents several original and modern creative architectural schools, with its distinction with some local touches and the Great Mosque is distinguished There are three houses for prayer: the main house, the daily prayer hall, and the women's prayer room. As for the main prayer hall or the main hall, it is square in shape, its length is 72 meters, and its area is 5184 square meters, thus accommodating more than ten thousand prayers. Huge crowds, and rises in the middle of this main hall, the huge dome that matches the largest domes of the luxurious mosques in the world. And sunlight penetrates through the gypsum plaster stained with white glass covering the windows of the rear windows and casts a wonderful shade in the goodness, multiple in colors, joining the dome lines written in a third pen on the Esfahani ceramics It is dominated by the blue color adored with lapis lazuli, and in the navel of the dome, the famous calligrapher Muhammad Al-Haddad - who wrote all the writings of the Great Mosque - ran in the shape of a sun disk with the beautiful names of God in white kufic script on a blue ceramic floor, such as the magical blue of the sea. The dome is surrounded by four small domes from the four sides engraved with Moroccan gypsum, hanging four chandeliers of crystal and copper plated with gold, which are Italian-made and each chandelier contains more than a hundred lamps, length of 7.5 meters, width of 3.5 meters and weight of 1000 kg ... The lighting of the prayer house is not limited The main feature of these four large chandeliers, but there are eighty German-made wall and ceiling chandeliers, whose glass is made of crystal, spread throughout the hall as if with the large chandeliers, the planets floating around the bright stars in the sky. The mihrab The main hall of the Great Mosque in Kuwait is remarkable in the main mihrab, which is the middle of seven mihrabs that lead the wall of the qiblah of prayer, dominated by colors inspired by the Kuwaiti environment, which are blue and yellow, and is covered from the inside with a flat surface of Moroccan zellig engraved with Islamic geometric patterns, and above it stands a verse written In a third in blue on a yellow background surrounded by another verse in Kufic script on Pakistani natural stone, while under the frame two columns of pure white Greek marble appear in which the decoration is spread in geometric forms. The platform As for the pulpit, it was made of solid teak wood, and its entrance is to the left of the mihrab. Its fourteen circular steps are hidden behind the mihrab inside the qibla wall. Daily prayers As for the daily chapel, it is behind the main chapel from the east side, connected to it in the building, and its area can accommodate five hundred worshipers at one time and is used to perform the five daily prayers and regular periodic lessons spread in most of the mosques of Kuwait after some prayers as the imam sees and fits the worshipers, and in this daily chapel is a special mihrab of Teak wood and its walls in the form of arches of Moroccan decoration and zellij hang from its ceiling nine beautiful German chandeliers (Original) مسجد الدولة الكبير هو مسجد يقع في مدينة الكويت قرب شاطئ الخليج العربي أفتتح عام 1986م بناء على توجيهات من الشيخ جابر الأحمد الصباح. بدأ العمل في بنائه عام 1979 واكتمل عام 1986 وبلغت كلفة إنجازه 14 مليون دينار كويتي وساهم في بنائه خمسون مهندسا وأربعمائة وخمسون عاملا. صمم المسجد المهندس المعماري محمد صالح مكية واختار تصميمه على الطراز الأندلسي الفاخر وتبلغ مساحة المسجد 45 ألف مترا مربعا، منها 25 ألف مترا مربعا مبنية، و20 ألف مترا مربعا مكشوفة تشكل حدائق وممرات المسجد الخارجية. يعد أكبر مسجد في دولة الكويت حيث أنه يصلي في المسجد في ساحات المسجد في ليلة 27 من رمضان حوالي 170,000 شخص. يتبع المسجد من الناحية الإدارية إلى قطاع الشؤون الثقافية في وزارة الأوقاف والشؤون الإسلامية، ويقع مبنى الإدارة في الجهة الجنوبية من المسجد. تعمل إدارة المسجد الحالية تحت شعار "مؤسسة إسلامية رائدة ومعلم إسلامي متميز" وبشكل منسجم مع رؤية المسجد ورسالته وغاياته الإستراتيجية. ويؤم المصلين في صلاة القيام الشيخ مشاري بن راشد العفاسي والشيخ فهد الكندري والشيخ صلاح الهاشم ويؤم المصلين في الأيام العادية الإمام والخطيب في المسجد الكبير الشيخ د.وليد العلي ويتكون المسجد الكبير من أجزاء عديدة تؤدي دورها بتناسق وإيقاع، فهي من جهة مجموعة لا تكاد توجد في مسجد آخر إلا في النادر من مساجد العالم، كما أنها من جهة أخرى تمثل عدة مدارس معمارية قديمة أصيلة وحديثة مبدعة، مع تميزها ببعض اللمسات المحلية ويتميز المسجد الكبير بوجود ثلاثة بيوت للصلاة: البيت الرئيسي، والمصلى اليومي، ومصلى النساء.فأما المصلى الرئيسي أو القاعة الرئيسية فمربعة الشكل طول ضلعها 72 مترا، ومساحتها 5184 مترا مربعا، وبذلك تتسع لأكثر من عشرة آلاف مصل، وهي مخصصة لصلاة العيدين وصلاة الجمعة والمناسبات الدينية حيث تتجمع الحشود الضخمة، وترتفع وسط هذه القاعة الرئيسية القبة الضخمة التي تضارع أضخم قباب المساجد الفخمة في العالم، فارتفاعها عن أرض المسجد يصل إلى 43 مترا، وقطرها 26 مترا، ويحيط بها من جوانبها مائة أربع وأربعون نافذة، وتحملها أعمدة أربعة طول كل منها اثنان وعشرون مترا، وتتغلغل أشعة الشمس من خلال الجبس المفرغ المعشق بالزجاج الأبيض الذي يغطي فتحات النوافذ الخلفية فتلقى بظلال رائعة في الحسن، متعددة في الألوان، تنضم إلى ما في القبة من خطوط كتبت بخط قلم الثلث على السيراميك الأصفهاني الذي يغلب عليه اللون الأزرق المعشق باللازورد، وفي سرة القبة جرى قلم الخطاط الشهير محمد الحداد - الذي خط جميع كتابات المسجد الكبير - على شكل قرص الشمس بأسماء الله الحسنى بالخط الكوفي المورق باللون الأبيض على أرضية سيراميكية زرقاء اللون كزرقة البحر الساحر. وتحف بالقبة أربع قباب صغيرة من الجوانب الأربعة منقوشة بالجبس المغربي، تتدلى منها أربعة ثريات من الكريستال والنحاس المطلي بالذهب، وهي إيطالية الصنع وتحتوي كل ثريا على أكثر من مائة مصباح وطولها 7.5 مترا وعرضها 3.5 مترا ووزنها 1000 كغم... ولا تقتصر إضاءة بيت الصلاة الرئيسي على هذه الثريات الأربع الكبيرة، بل هناك ثمانون ثريا حائطية وسقفية ألمانية الصنع زجاجها من الكريستال، تنتشر في أرجاء القاعة كأنها مع الثريات الكبرى الكواكب السابحة حول النجوم النيرة في جو السماء. المحراب ويلفت النظر في القاعة الرئيسية في المسجد الكبير في الكويت المحراب الرئيسي، وهو أوسط سبعة محاريب تتصدر جدار قبلة الصلاة، وتغلب عليه الألوان المستوحاة من البيئة الكويتية وهي الأزرق والأصفر، وهو مكسو من الداخل بمسطح من الزليج المغربي منقوش بنقوش هندسية إسلامية، وتبرز فوقه آية كتبت بخط الثلث باللون الأزرق على أرضية صفراء يحيط بها آية أخرى بالخط الكوفي على الحجر الطبيعي الباكستاني، فيما يظهر تحت البرواز عمودان من رخام يوناني أبيض صاف تنتشر فيهما الزخرفة بالأشكال الهندسية. المنبر أما المنبر فلقد صنع من خشب الساج المتين ومدخله من يسار المحراب ودرجاته الدائرية الأربع عشرة مخفية خلف المحراب داخل جدار القبلة، وارتفاعه حوالي مترين وفيه نقوش وأشكال بديعة. ملمصلى اليومي أما المصلى اليومي فهو خلف المصلى الرئيسي من جهة الشرق متصل به في البناء ومساحته تتسع لخمسمائة مصل في وقت واحد ويستخدم لأداء الصلوات الخمس اليومية والدروس الدورية العادية المنتشرة في معظم مساجد الكويت عقب بعض الصلوات حسبما يراه الإمام ويناسب المصلين، وفي هذا المصلى اليومي محراب خاص من خشب الساج وحوائطه على شكل أقواس من الديكور والزليج المغربي وتتدلى من سقفه تسع ثريات ألمانية بديعة الجمال

    A must see when visiting Kuwait. Dress conservative and remember you are entering a religious site and should act accordingly. Beautiful architecture and good history. The tour guide did a great job explaining the history of the Mosque and the religion as well. Park across the street in the paid parking lot made it easy to access.

    (Translated by Google) It is one of the best mosques in Kuwait, and it has an original history in the country and is considered one of the moral symbols in the country. I advise you to visit him at the times of the visit, given that the visitation days are limited. Guard and security are tight in the mosque, and around it are symbolic sites. However, the parking lot is far away, but in great probability, access to some parking spaces near the mosque has been closed. (Original) من افضل المساجد المتواجدة بالكويت و لها تاريخ اصيل في البلد و يعتبر كاحدى الرموز المعنوية في الدولة. انصحكم بزيارته باوقات الزيارة مع العلم بان ايام الزيارة محدودة. الحراسة و الامن متشددة في المسجد و حوالينه مواقع رمزية. بس مكان المواقف بعيدة ، بس في احتمالية كبيرة تم اغلاق الدخول الى بعض المواقف القريبة من المسجد.

    Beautiful mosque...private tour (free of cost) is the only way you can enter the mosque as a tourist we understood. The tour guide was very good and well spoken.It takes anywhere between 15 to 30 mins for the tour as you want. Even if you want no talk from the tour guide but just want to click photographs,the guide needs to accompany you.

    The Grand Mosque is well worth the visit! It was completely free and absolutely beautiful! Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us a ton of info on the mosque itsself and the history or Islam in general. Wastern travelers be aware you will need to cover tattoos and where long pants. Women will be asked to where hijabs which they will provide.

    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. Very nice and big. Has huge courtyard and has tours for non muslims to visit. All are more than welcome. Parking is very hard though in busy times, if someone knows the best place to park please let us know. However now the other mosque Bilal is used de facto the main mosque of Kuwait.

    The Mosque is a piece of art by our ancestors...🕌♥ ... the Mosque is so big ... inside it is bliss full.. and very good architecture.... A tour guide will explain you everything about Mosque and Islam even if you went single... and I felt like my tour guide is the best... I think her name Fatima.... #alhamdulila... You'll get free drinks and books .... A good visit.... alhamdulilla

  • 5/5 Mark H. 1 year ago on Google
    Many mosques are rather plain. This one is truly beautiful. Worth the visit for sure. I got a terrific free tour, and was able to ask all kinds of questions about Islam, and Kuwait. There were no other tourists, so it was a private tour.

  • 5/5 Lisa A. 1 year ago on Google
    This tour was excellent! Our guide, Usama (sp?), spoke excellent English and described the customs of Islam regarding the mosque and prayer, a bit of history of the Koran, and some background of Islam. Some very nice ladies helped the women in our group get dressed appropriately. Prepare for all to remove shoes, keeping in mind the marble is cold! (at least in January).

  • 5/5 Gaylyn F. 1 year ago on Google
    Visit @gaylynfernandes Instagram The mosque is usually not open to visitors. Watch out social media platforms to know when a tour is organized either in Arabic or English. The tour normally is free of charge and lasts upto an hour. At the end of the tour, the organizers are generous enough to offer water, juice and coffee for the attendees; again without any charge. Overall, very informative and beautiful photos experience. Do pay a visit if gotten a chance.

  • 5/5 Rafael 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 NH A. 11 months ago on Google
    The most beautiful mosque I have ever seen. Masha Allah The craftsmanship inside the mosque impressed me. I will tell my expatriate Muslim brothers and sisters living in Kuwait to go and pray there at least once. There is no rush, you can go there anytime. But I will say Friday for Jumma prayer. Long live Kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼
