ISTANBUL, TURKEY - MARCH 07: Muslims observe the holy night of Laylat al-Raghaib marking the beginning of three holy months on the Islamic Hijri calendar: Rajab, Sha’ban, and Ramadan on March 07, 2019 at the Camlica Mosque, the largest mosque of Turkey located on the Camlica hill of Istanbul. The 63,000-capacity mosque on Istanbul's Camlica Hill in the Asian side of the city opened for worship Thursday with Fajr (morning) prayers and Adhan, call for prayer. Built in the Ottoman-Seljuk style of architecture, the mosque can be easily viewed from every corner of the city. It is not only a mosque but also a complex, which includes a museum of Turkish Islamic art, a library, an art gallery, a conference hall, workshops as well as a car park with a 3,500-car capacity. It has six minarets representing the six beliefs of Islam. Four minarets are 107.1 meters tall, a tribute to the 1071 Manzikert victory of the Seljuk Turks against the Byzantine army that opened up Anatolia for Turkish domination. Its 72-meter high main dome represents 72 nations living in the city. The second dome with a diameter of 34 meters represents the car license number plate of Istanbul. There are 16 names of Allah inscribed inside the dome, symbolizing the number of states founded by Turks. A three-piece finial on the main dome, weighing 4.5 tons and at a height of 7.77 meters is the largest of its kind. A 17,000-square-meter carpet rolled out at the mosque is a specially designed hand-knotted carpet. The minbar of the mosque, a pulpit from which sermons of Friday and religious festivals are delivered, is 21-meter high and can be lifted through an elevator.
