Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. [ Al-Baqarah - 257 ]

A journey that leads worshipers from the darkness to the the main prayer hall, where the ceiling showers the space with light. A space made of rammed earth, isolated acoustically and thermally from the surroundings.
