《古兰经》中描写真主的那句话：“他用光创造诸天，而不用你们能见的支柱。”建筑师也努力地将这耐人寻味的伊斯兰哲学融入到这座独特的清真寺之中，希望让神圣的光成为这座清真寺的灵魂。

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.

▼外观，exterior view

安拉之光清真寺位于陕西省兴平市，依附于兴平市清真寺，该座清真寺规划上是一座女寺，供穆斯林女士祷告和礼拜。同时这是一次资金限制极大的项目，35万的投入意味着这将是一个极具挑战的设计。设计者一直努力的思考如何在这极少的投入中发挥更多的设计力量。委托方要求礼拜和祷告的大殿不能超过50方，但是宗教建筑需要高耸的空间来营造氛围，这样的面积对于一个教堂来说，可能无法释放纵向空间的尺度，设计者最终决定采用了圆形的结构，圆形是最有张力的形状，可以制造出较大的空间体验。

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.

这样的结构恰好可以使我在顶部设置一条依附于圆形结构的天窗，天光透进来，自然形成了一个圆形的光环，天光与结构的结合使细节和空间变得丰富。昏暗的大殿之中，穆民们抬头仰望，非常明亮的光环消弱了纯粹的混凝土楼板在人们眼中的感受，只是被神圣的光环所吸引，这样的感受就像和真主在对话，人们抬头望着光祷告，光又洒在人们的脸上，我想这样的建筑体验将会更加有韵味。并且，一天之中的光线在室内缓缓地移动位置，暗示时间的移动，穆斯林每天5个时辰的礼拜就可以在建筑中体验不同的空间感受。正如我想用光来告诉人们安拉的力量和存在一般，并且通过纯净的光来洗礼人们的精神和灵魂。

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.
