This location is under the residential area of Antapani District. Mosqe at residental area must have a welcoming impression towards neighboring residents. Therefore, the mosque must be made with homely design without luxurious impression. For these reasons the concept of “Al-Qariib” is used. “Al-Qariib” has the meaning of “near”.
