The Majestic White Waterlily Mosque project is a ‘thought’/‘vision’ of building a dedicated mosque in Tewkesbury, UK. The visionary name is due to the geographic location of Tewkesbury as it stands at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon, and also minor tributaries the Swilgate and Carrant Brook.

Water is an essential part of Islam, The Quran states “every living thing is made of water,” (Al-Anbya 21:30) and the prominence of this thought is visible in Islam’s use of water. The role played by water in Islamic architecture is as symbolic as it is practical. Water is not only used in a purely utilitarian manner but also symbolises life, purification, sustainability and guidance.

The White Waterlily, majestically always floats on top of the water. Though many people admire these lilies, the struggle they go through is only known when one would put a thought/ponder into its life.
