Is Architecting The Lavish Mosques Discouraged In Islam?
Asselamu aleykum,
Is architecting the lavish and beautiful mosques discouraged in Islam?
It is said in this video from FTD Facts, that Prophet (sav) commanded the Muslims to build simple mosques, and also predicted that lavish mosques are the signs of end times, is that true? What about Hayal-i Suleymani, whose architecture was made up of gold?
VIDEO LINK:- https://youtu.be/BugO0Lk1pkE (from 0:30 to 0:54)
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Hour will not appear until people boast about mosques.” (ABU DAWUD)
Kindly clarify.

Kindly look at this discussion:

The answer is not clear to me. I mean the following discussion does not answer my question at all.

It is said in the discussion that:
1. Decorating religious places with expensive material is not forbidden or discouraged, on contrary it is encouraged as seen in case of Hazrat Sulaiman. The Holy Kaaba is actually the main mosque, the Great House of God while every other mosque a smaller house of God and this very mosque is decorated in gold as discussed in the thread.
2. It is clarifed in the thread that Islam is only against immorality, which includes wasting money or showing off arrogantly. It is not strange that Prophet PBUH may have warned of a time when people will not be decorating mosques for respect of God or to showcase the blessings of God but rather just to waste money, to show-off to others while forgetting God entirely. Sounds a reasonable time when Allah may choose to bring the End of the world for Judgment. -
