Faisal Mosque sound system

Posted on 9 months ago

I had the opportunity to say Eid prayers at Faisal Mosque this year. Fortunately I managed to reach just in time to find myself a place inside the main prayer hall which was packed to capacity as expected. The mosque’s architecture is very appealing with modern cuts and intelligent design techniques for natural light to come through the pyramid dome from various angles.
What surprised me, however, was the sound system installed inside the mosque which served no purpose at all. It sounded like a system from the bronze age which echoed just enough to muffle the speaker’s voice ruining the sacred experience. Could someone from the relevant authorities (possibly CDA or Ministry of Religious Affairs) look into this and fix the internal sound system at Faisal Mosque.
