Is that just my font or is something really weird about that Urdu...? I'm pretty sure not all of my urdu script looks like that. (presuming it is using a different font from Arabic script...) gren 07:33, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Nast'alīq would require unicode glyphs similar to the way Chinese is encoded. Hopefully one day this will happen, but for now naskh has to suffice. On a different note, is there a Pakistani out there that can take and upload a picture of this mosque? It is so unique and a Pakistani icon as well, would really add to the page.

[edit] Faisal not as large as some may think

I believe Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Mosque of Prophet Mohammad) in Medina, Saudi Arabia, to be the largest mosque in the world. So Faisal Mosque in Islamabad does not hold the title of being the largest under no circumstances. I don't think King Faisal would go build the largest mosque in Pakistan and not in his own kingdom (Saudi Arabia).--Khan1982 00:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
