As it is known, instructions on form of a mosque in religious texts is quite limited. For this reason, following the first model of Masjid al-Nabawi, mosque architecture has been developed throughout history by borrowing elements of different architectural styles and adapting them in accordance with Islamic principles. However, mosque architecture, which was developed based on a certain tradition, has been interrupted after significant events such as the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and globalization. While the breakdown of civilizational conception and tradition, on the one hand, encourages architects, on the other hand, it provides a trial board for them to demonstrate their skills on mosque architecture in an ungrounded and self-centered manner. In fact, the 18th ayah of Surah al-Tawbah imposes a collective responsibility on how and by whom the mosques are to be built, encompassing the belief values and worship practices of a Muslim. In this study, a conceptual model schematized in annular zones for designing the contemporary mosques is put forward within the framework of the lack of guidelines of current mosque architecture and the references set by the cited ayah. In this model, spiritual insight zone is formed from the fundamental concepts of Islam such as tawheed, wahdat, tanzih, ikhlas, imar, ihsan, jamal, husn, taqrar, and tanawwu. These concepts have been limited in consideration of the potential impact of contemporary dynamics on the mosque architecture. With the sensory insight zone expanding outward, the meanings and connotations of these spiritual concepts in colloquial language were obtained. In the practical insight zone beyond this, rational terms such as effective, structural, pure, plastic, and flexible form were derived for the mosque architecture from the sensory concepts. The last zone represents tectonicization, that is, the finalized form of the mosque depending on selection of material and form. The study also concretizes the tectonicization zone by analyzing and exemplifying some historical and contemporary mosques based on the conceptual model. As a conclusion, a design method compatible with the fundamentals of Islamic civilization and contemporary practical needs is proposed.
