Largest Mosque by Country in the term of Area

Note that determining exactly what should be included when calculating area is a highly subjective assessment, and the figures given anywhere adhere to no common standard while making any ranking list by anyone. But we tried to bring some uniformity and standard in our list. During calculating areas of the mosques we only considered those areas which are
  • used as for prayer area, while determining, area vs capacity analysis is observed.
  • or officially a part of mosque including all facilities.
  • or covered area of a building.
Where things are much complicated during determining or the mosque which is in serious matter of debate, footnotes are established.
