Key principles

What this room needs.

  • Plan parking and drop-off for the Jumu'ah peak; agree overflow parking with neighbours early.
  • A covered drop-off near the entrance for elders and rain.
  • Lighting and cameras on every path for Fajr and Isha.
  • Dome and minaret are optional; let budget and local planning rules decide their scale.
