For example, the Ottoman style is found in the copper domes of the mosque, the muqarnas in one of the minarets, and the golden color used in the doors representing the Mamluk style. And It was decorated with decorations that made it represent the modern-day Islamic architecture.

And if you have wondered why the mosque is named after this name, It’s because of the lighting Installed in multiple aspects of the mosque which is made of pottery, contains the names of the companions of Our prophet Muhammad, such as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Omar bin Al-Khattab, and Osman bin Afan, may God bless them.
