Hi,
What does a shia mosque look like inside and outside in comparison with a sunni one?
Are there any differences between them?

I am a Sunni Muslim female, normally all Mosques are the same from inside no matter Sunni or Shia , just an empty Hall with no writings or pictures inside only maybe beautiful or simple architectural pillars with simple colour variations .
Islam forbids depictions of Allah & The Prophets firstly and any writings or any kind of illustrations inside the Prayer room or Hall are totally forbidden as it distracts the one worshiping .
When we worship we believe we are prostrating & submitting Physically & Spiritually right in front of our Lord Allah and nothing and no one can come between us as Allah gives us His total time & attention .
The Sunnis & the Shias have a little difference in Prayer actions .
Some of the most beautiful Mosques are in the Middle East , Iran ,
Afghanistan ,Iraq and Turkey . I am a full time mother now
(being a single parent ) but before my kids were born i was doing photography and at one point in life it was my dream to compile a Book on the different Mosques around the world . That requires some hard cash or sponsors !

Thank you for the informative post. Would it be possible to show us any of the pictures?

I hope you will be able to publish the book some day.

The Bible has instructions for building a temple. Does the Qur'an have instructions for building a mosque?

Hey just pray for me i have alot of dreams , wishes & hopes to make this world a better place .

In islam it is also very important to build Mosques.
The rich people and the poor can contribute whatever they can , but no one can force anyone to Donate money for that .Who ever Donates Money does it out of his/her own free will .To force some one to make a contribution or donation for building a Mosque is forbidden .

Do You know we as muslims are allowed to Marry people of the book . We are also allowed to eat Halal.....Kind of Kosher food with People of the book .
But Pork ,Blood & dead meat is Totally Forbidden.
