Al-Rahim Mosque meets the basic criteria of Islamic architecture. It includes a minaret, high tower from which the imam (or officer Imam) calls to prayer (the role of the muezzin is here taken by the imam ). The mosque is crowned by a single dome, symbolic representation of the vault of heaven in Islamic architecture. It also includes a Ziyada, that is to say, a patio surrounded by a double wall. The façade of the mosque turned to the marina is bordered by a waterfall. In the evening, the chamber is illuminated with white and blue colours. The mosque is composed of two speakers: The first speaker is mainly made of the prayer room devoted to men whose entrance faces the patio. On the floor of the same block is the smallest prayer room devoted to women whose entrance is oriented outwards. Their floor, far and through glass coated with an opaque film sandblasted silver, women can observe the prayer room for men below. Women have their own room with ablution with seating “high-tech” with motion detectors. The second enclosure comprises three separate rooms. The part facing the patio houses the great hall of ablutions for the toilet men before prayer. The outward-facing side (almost like an annex partially hidden) houses a Koranic school and a library devoted to Islamic studies, both on behalf of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
