架构师提供的文本描述。在“古兰经”中，有一句描述真主“他用光创造了天空，没有你看到的柱子”。建筑师还试图将这种发人深省的伊斯兰哲学融入这座独特的清真寺，希望圣光成为清真寺的灵魂。(鼓掌)

Text description provided by the architects. In The Quran, there was a sentence describing Allah“He created the skies with the light, without pillars you see it”. The architect also tried to integrate this thought-provoking Islamic philosophy into this unique mosque, hoping the sacred light to be the soul of the mosque.

安拉之光清真寺位于山西省兴平市，附属于兴平清真寺，原计划成为穆斯林女性祭祀的女性清真寺。同时，这是一个资金限制很大的项目，35万元意味着对设计的巨大挑战。设计者一直在考虑如何在投资不足的情况下充分发挥设计的作用。委托方要求礼拜礼堂面积不得超过50平方米，不能让教堂垂直释放大小，因为一般的宗教建筑需要塔楼来营造气氛。

Light of Allah Mosque lies in Xingping City of Shanxing Province, attached to Xingping Mosque, which was planned to be a Female Mosque for Muslim females to pray and worship. At the same time this was a project with great capital restrictions, RMB350thousand meaning an extraordinary challenge to the designing. The designer kept considering how to give full play to the designing with the poor investment. The entrusting party demanded that the hall of praying and worshiping shouldn’t be over 50sqm, which couldn’t allow the church to release the size vertically because generally religious building needs to be towery to create the atmosphere.

最后，设计人员决定采用圆形结构，用最张拉结构创造更大的空间体验。这样的结构意味着在顶部的圆形结构上附加一条天光窗带，允许日光进入并形成圆形光晕，丰富了细节和空间。在昏暗的大厅里，穆斯林抬起头来，被神圣的光环所吸引，这一光环削弱了人们眼中坚实的混凝土，让人感觉到与真主的对话。这样的建筑体验，展现了人们望着光祈祷的挥之不去的魅力，阳光洒在了人们的脸上。此外，随着时间的推移，光也会被缓慢地移动，因此穆斯林可以在一天的礼拜活动中感受到不同空间体验的5个特殊时间。就像我想用光告诉人们真主的力量和存在一样，人们的灵魂和灵魂也受到我所使用的纯净光的洗礼。除天光外，墙壁上有不同大小的方形孔，以确保光线在上午、中午和下午流入。正方形的洞口安装了不同颜色的玻璃，因此室内空间将用不同的颜色点缀。(鼓掌)

At last the designer decided to use the round structure which can create bigger space experience with the most tensioned structure. Such a structure means a belt of sky lighted windows attaching to the round structure at the top, allowing the daylight to stream in and form a round halo, enriching the details and the space. In the dim hall, the Muslims lifted up their heads and attracted by the sacred halo weakening the solid concrete in people’s eyes, feeling talking to Allah. Such a building experience shows the lingering charm that people are praying with looking into the light and the light is poured on people’s face. Also the light is moved languidly with the time, so the Muslims can feel the different space experience for 5 special hours during one-day worship. Just like I want to tell people the power and the existence of Allah with light, the people’s spirits and souls are baptized by the pure light I used too. Besides the sky light, the walls are drilled with the square holes of different sizes to ensure the light to stream in during the morning, noon and afternoon. The square holes are installed with the glass of different colors, so the interior space will be decorated with the different color spots.

麦加的卡巴应该有一堵墙，让穆斯林在每一座清真寺里礼拜。设计师仍然选择了混凝土浇筑一个7米高的混凝土墙，没有任何装饰，这意味着面对墙相当于面对麦加的方向。在墙后钻窗，让光线进来，从墙后面可以感觉到自然温暖的光从墙后面脱落，因为面对墙壁时看不到光源，这就产生了墙与简单的天空光应该有的神圣感。我还做了新的混凝土方形表面空心的星星。

There should be one wall toward Kaaba of Mecca, for the Muslims to worship in every Mosque. The designer still chose the concrete to pour one concrete wall of 7meter high without any decorations, which meant facing the wall equaled to facing the direction of Mecca. The windows are drilled behind the wall to let the light in, the natural warm light could be felt shedding from the behind of the wall because no light source could be seen when facing the walls, which created the sacred feeling that the wall should have with the simple sky light. I also made the fresh concrete square surface-hollowed stars & moon pattern fixed on the concrete wall, making the natural light to permeate out. At last,   the Akhoond of the Mosque was entrusted to copy down the Quran scripture on the gray concrete with the golden paint. Against the sky light, the plain scripture with the looming light, makes the Muslims fall into pondering, ponder the time, ponder the transition, ponder the life and ponder the words from Allah.

整个清真寺仍然是白色的，因为白色代表着纯净的建筑，并且很好地区分了建筑与当地环境的区别，它就像表面完美的陶瓷一样纯净。这是一种宗教建筑，希望人们摆脱混乱的生活和环境，走向一个完全纯净的世界，这就是它存在的意义，净化一切。同时，白人可以让人们畅所欲言，畅所欲言。周围的环境使白色更纯净，白色使环境更清晰和明亮。

 The whole Mosque is still white because the white represents pure and distinguishes the building from the local environment well, which is as pure as ceramics with the perfect surface. This is a religious architecture with the designing of hoping people to break away from the disordered life and environment and come to completely a pure world, which is the meaning for its existence, purifying everything. At the same time, the white could let people talk to the past and imagine the future without limit. The surrounding environment makes the white more pure and the white makes the environment more clear and bright.
