ABSTRACT
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been applying the Shari`ah of Islam, acting in accordance with the 
Holy Qur'an and Sunnah, and making judgments based on Allah’s Shari`ah. It also strives to propagate 
and call people to Islam with wisdom and fair preaching.
This is the essential cornerstone of its system, duties, and obligations, to which it pays due attention. 
The Basic Law of Saudi Arabia provides for deriving power from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah, which 
rule over this Law and all other laws of the Kingdom.
It also stipulates that the Kingdom should protect the Islamic creed, apply the Shari`ah, enjoin good, 
forbid evil, and call people to Allah.
The Sectors of Islamic Affairs, Da`wah, Guidance, and Endowments have been among the outstanding 
pillars and essential parts of the Kingdom. Since the foundations of the kingdom were laid by King 
`Abdul `Aziz Al Saud and his sons after him, the Kingdom has established, sponsored, supported, and 
developed large organizations for this purpose, flourishing in the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy 
Mosques, his Crown Prince, and his Second Deputy Prime Minister.
Subsequently wherever the Muslim's have gone, they built Mosques for their needs in that community 
and worship Allah. Moreover mosque indeed is a great example of traditional and long lasting 
buildings which civil engineers do best making a strong, stable, and sustainable buildings.
Through our civil engineering study at Prince Mohammed bin Fahd University, as well as taking the 
opportunity to apply what we have studied at the university level, we decided to choose the design of 
the mosque. We make Comparative Design & Analysis of a Mosque Using Steel and Reinforced 
Concrete Elements design and analysis ( figure 1), including calculation of the foundation.
Our project covered by several programs such as Etabs2015, Sap2000, AutoCAD, SkiCiv, LimCon, 
and steel connections.
