Virtual mosque
Virtual Mosque
An open courtyard, a domed prayer hall, and no agenda. Walk through the arch, pause by the fountain, or sit quietly for a while. It runs in your browser, and nothing is recorded.
A quiet space, built from geometry
This is a rendered architectural space, not a reconstruction of a particular building. A courtyard with a fountain and shaded arcades opens into a prayer hall with a central dome, a mihrab niche and rows of rugs. You can walk through it at your own pace.
Courtyard and hall are one continuous scene. Click the ground to walk, drag to look around, and click the arch to pass between them. Daylight gives way to lamplight at the click of a button.
What you will see
The courtyard
Cut-stone paving, shaded arcades, cypress trees and an octagonal fountain under a small canopy.
The domed hall
A ribbed dome over the central bay, with a ring of small windows and a hanging chandelier.
The mihrab
A pointed-arch niche on the qibla wall, finished with geometric tilework and a warm lamp.
Minarets and archways
Two slender towers with balconies frame the entrance, and pointed arches repeat along the arcades.
What you can do here
Walk at your own pace
Click the floor to move, drag to look around. Click the portal to pass from the courtyard into the hall.
Sit quietly
Take a place on a rug and follow the breathing ring. A simple timer keeps time; nothing is scored or saved.
Change the light
Switch between daylight and lamplight, or tap a hanging lamp to see the hall change mood.
A note on respect
The space is aniconic: geometric tile, stone and light only, with no calligraphy, no figural imagery and no attempt to reproduce scripture or the call to prayer. It is not a place of worship and cannot substitute for prayer in a real mosque. There are no accounts, points, leaderboards or recordings, and we ask visitors to treat it with the same courtesy they would bring to a real courtyard.
Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser with WebGL and works with a mouse, keyboard or touch screen. Best in landscape on a phone.
Is this a real mosque?
No. It is a stylised 3D architectural space inspired by common features of mosque design. It is not affiliated with any religious institution and is not a substitute for visiting one.
Is anything recorded?
No accounts, no scores, no chat and no analytics tied to your visit. The quiet timer lives only in your browser tab.
Why is there no calligraphy?
Rendered text can easily be inaccurate or misplaced. We chose geometric ornament so the space stays respectful without risking a mistake with sacred writing.
