Claims of the biggest in the world are always difficult to verify, but Shariatmadari offers some comparisons. Tehran's Grand Mosala sits on a 650,000 square-metre site, 450,000 of which will be a covered area when completed. Neither of the famous Saudi Arabian mosques in Medina and Mecca, the holiest sites in Islam, are more than 400,000 square metres. Medina's covered space is only 100,000 square metres.

``Building mosques has become a fashion in the Muslim world, Shariatmadari says, pointing to newly built mosques in Oman and Morocco, whose grand mosque reportedly cost more than $1 billion. And none of those come close to the Grand Mosala's size, either, he adds.

The Grand Mosala is the creation of architect Parvis Mo-ayed Ahd, 80, who divides his time between Paris and Tehran.

Construction began six years ago. Only 25 per cent of the complex is completed, but 80,000 cubic metres of concrete have been poured, and 30,000 tonnes of steel used so far.

One of its prayer halls spans 50,000 square metres, with ceilings 14 metres high. The mosque's dome will be 57 metres in diameter and will be crowned by a stylized arch spanning 130 metres.

``The arch is a big headache for us. We are on an earthquake zone . . . so it needs a very special design to make sure it will not collapse for 400 years, Shariatmadari says.
