All mosques in this world should lead its direction to Kabaa as the center of this earth.The space of a mosque is designed to facilitate for hundred or thousand of prrayers who attend the compulsory prayings at least 5 times a day e.g at noon (dhuhur),in the afternoon(ashar),at the beginning of night(maghrib),at night (isya)and before dawn (shubuh). for many muslims around the mosques.Its ventilation should be good enough for fresh air circulation and should be clean and it should be well decorated including quoted qur'anic verses.Besides that big mosque has a big meeting room for discussion of anything related to Islam. and for wedding party..For attending the praying we should fill in first row behind the imam or leader of praying.All attendances should take place side by side in orderly manner untill all places are full of muslims.Usually for muslim women should take place a special part of the mosque behind the row of muslim men..
Islamic architecture should be resembled in interior and exterior of the mosque.We pray and worship to Allah the only one God.After praying we iusually pay a prayer asking God gives us what we want.There no chairs and tables in the mosque for praying.We are not allowed to place statues or the picture or painting of Muhammad pbuh.We are afraid that someone will pray to him and not to Allah.We can read qur'an in the mosque,because it has enough luxurious lamps for light.The biggest mosque is mesjiddil haram in Mecca which can accomodate more than 100.000 people.This mosque is well decorated and has many fans,lights and A.C s.Its floor is made from high quality marbles and covered by best thick carpets..This mosque has many entrance doors..The air is cool. inside.The second biggest mosque is mesjid Nabawi in Medina and the third biggest mosque is mesjiddil Aqsa in Yerussalem.Indonesia has many mosques but the biggest in Jakarta called Istiqlal.

About the path, if a Muslim is traveling and he has no clue wherein path Mecca is then he can pray in any path he wishes on the grounds that all instructions belong to Allah. About prayer timings, if you happen to pass to the poles, men and women there have got to opt for days with out seeing the solar in winters. In such circumstances they have got to adapt the prayer timings of the nearest town in which prayer timings are made up our minds relying at the solar. So prayer timing is not any huge deal both and will also be quite simply controlled. About prayer positions, if a man or woman is paralysed and not using a frame motion what so ever then he can pray by way of simply relocating his eyes. So relying at the challenge a man or woman has to evolve. Islam may be very effortless however the Mullahs make it problematic usually. Food and water don't seem to be an trouble.
