Mosque in Mali Africa

from many mosques in the African continent, there is one unique mosque in the country of Mali. Characteristic shape, material dipakaipun are very unique and seem primitive. Mosque that was built around the X century by the Muslim Mali is almost the whole of clay raw materials (clay).
From the floor, walls and roof, all clay. Only the roof pillar be strengthened with branches of trees. From the arsiktektur, have typical African feel. For centuries the local people use as a means of worship. However, the latter rarely, because of new mosques. Clay mosque more often used as tourism object history of Islam in Mali. No information how many times this renovated mosque.
Perhaps in the development, the people only use the water as the mixed materials to form the clay so the parts important mosques. Luckily the quality of clay that is used is very good and solid when dry. Not clear whether the nuances of the mosque or the condition of sensation at that time really is limited to the use of raw materials, which are relatively vulnerable to collapse. Alhamdulillah not be less good news about this mosque, including the collapse or the other.
Allah SWT created everything on earth there is no futile. God will keep our place of worship.
