بالعربي
أكبر مساجد الشارقة، مذهل بهدوء.
من أكبر المساجد وأجملها في الإمارات، بقباب مستوحاة من الطراز العثماني وحدائق منسّقة وأفنية هادئة، ولا يزال غير معروف كثيراً.
يتسع مسجد الشارقة الكبير على شارع الإمارات لعشرات الآلاف من المصلين، وهو تحفة من العمارة الإسلامية. تأمّل قبابه ومآذنه وحدائقه، خاصة وقت الغروب أو حين يُضاء ليلاً. ارتدِ ملابس محتشمة عند الزيارة.
