The above is a picture of Mosque which located in Malaysia. It is a place of worship for followers of Islam and this building is quite similar to the ancient Greek sacred place because it is influenced by the Greek culture. The architecture was using the classical Greek’s design to design the Mosque, they applied the Greece architecture on the pillar of Mosque which called Doric column, the concept column was borrowed from the ancient Egypt, but  the Greeks perfected it and made it their own. The Doric column is used to support the building and it is associated with strength. Our architect was using it to design maybe they want to show the stability and strength of Islam to people and make the building look classical.
