Talk:Faisal Mosque

message: Is that just my font or is something really weird about that Urdu...? I'm pretty sure not all of my urdu script looks like that. (presuming it is using a different font from Arabic script...)  gren 07:33, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Nast'alīq would require unicode glyphs similar to the way Chinese is encoded. Hopefully one day this will happen, but for now naskh has to suffice. On a different note, is there a Pakistani out there that can take and upload a picture of this mosque? It is so unique and a Pakistani icon as well, would really add to the page.

message: I believe Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Mosque of Prophet Mohammad) in Medina, Saudi Arabia, to be the largest mosque in the world. So Faisal Mosque in Islamabad does not hold the title of being the largest under no circumstances. I don't think King Faisal would go build the largest mosque in Pakistan and not in his own kingdom (Saudi Arabia).--Khan1982 00:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Faisal not as large as some may think

message: The article text says that it has "a capacity of 300,000 worshippers", but the infobox (which is the only bit that is referenced) states "Capacity: 24,000 (porticoes), 40,000 (courtyard)". Where does the 300,000 come from? -M.Nelson (talk) 00:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are right. There are a few problems with this article. You have mentioned one of them. I'll start working on it soon. Cheers. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 18:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

text: The captions to random photos aren't reliable sources.  I've updated the article body and infobox using the ArchNet source, though the capacity of the adjoining areas is still uncited. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 11:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
