dc.description.abstract	Mosque in today's context is treated as object centered building typology and went through a paradoxical change where it suffered a reduction of cultural and socio-political scale. As a result, they acquired symbolic representations and monumentality by being isolated from the urban fabric neglecting the contribution towards sustainability of community. The aim of this thesis is to re-visualize the role of mosque as a community center through the integration of unity between sacred and secular. An interdisciplinary approach of architectural, sociological, planning, theological and anthropological sources is used to dig into some of the fundamental aspects of the evolution of mosques, significance of its different parts and features and their collective role in contributing to behold social and communal construct	en_US
