In the Philippines, specifically in Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao, a noteworthy mosque that stands for peace has become quite a spectacular attraction. Can you guess what color? Yes. This is the Pink Mosque, or formally called, Masjid Dimaukom. Masjid Dimaukom is clad in vibrant shades of pink – from the carnation-colored walls adorned by golden arches of its glass windows, to the lively cerise domes accented with silver spires, as well as silver star and crescents that face east. But that’s not it. The spacious interiors dominated by pink hues from its walls to the high ceilings, the shiny carmine of the tiled flooring, the bold golden pillars – the inside is equally captivating. This edifice is certainly an eye candy from inside out. Beyond the structure’s aesthetic appeal, the Pink Mosque was built, primarily, as a sacred place of prayer, and also a symbol of peace. A unique structure that exemplifies harmony among Filipinos, regardless of religion, ethnicity, culture, and social class. The mosque is a brainchild of a man who believes in his love for the country, its people, and above all, the love for Allah.
