Essence of Faith is a mosque designed for a desert setting in Taif, Saudi Arabia. The design combines minimal forms with traditional Islamic elements. Clean lines and open spaces create a calm atmosphere, and windows are placed to bring natural light into the interior. The main prayer hall directs worshippers towards the qibla, with separate entrances and prayer areas for men and women. Ablution areas, a minaret, an imam apartment and a diwaniya support religious and community use. The main structure is built of concrete and brick, with stucco, wood, glass and stone finishes.
