Drawing can seem like a task only for the ‘artsy’ types, but guess what? With our super easy drawing guides, your kiddo can whip up a mosque masterpiece in no time by following the step by step tutorial.

And the best part? They get to splash in their personality with every color they choose and every line they draw.

How to Draw a Mosque Step by Step the Really Easy Way

We’ve got two nifty step-by-step methods to get those creative juices flowing. Follow along with the 8 stages in each box of the mosque drawing tutorial, to complete the mosque picture for each of the mosque drawings.

Method 1: The Classic Mosque Silhouette

Start with a thin base at the bottom of the box.
Next, draw a simple rectangle on top of that – together these will form the base of your mosque.
Above it, draw a semi-circle; like the shape of a rising sun. This will form the main dome of the mosque.
Time for the minaret! Add a tall, slim rectangle on one side of the dome.
Top the minaret with a smaller rectangle for a bit of architectural flair, and add doors to your masjid.
Finish off with a cute dome on top of the minaret and voilà!

The example is shown with a green mosque but kids can color using whatever shades they prefer – use pencil crayons, felt tips, chalks, oil pastels… whatever you prefer!

Method 2: The Dome with a Crescent

Kick off with a horizontal line – easy peasy, right?
Draw a pointed half-circle above it to create the dome’s outline.
Add a base to that dome with a simple rectangle.
Now, let’s get fancy – sketch in a crescent moon on top of the dome. Isn’t it coming together nicely?
For the final touches, adorn the base of your dome with cute little circles or any design that tickles your fancy.

Once your little artist has mastered the box drawing, encourage them to think bigger. Grab a fresh sheet of paper or some sturdy cardstock, and let them translate their skills into a grander version.

And hey, why not turn these drawings into heartfelt Ramadan cards for friends and family?

It’s All About Personal Touch. Our example colors are just a starting point. Urge your kids to unleash their inner Picassos – if they want a polka-dotted pink mosque with a rainbow minaret, who are we to say no? This is where they learn that art has no rules, just endless possibilities.

Let’s Talk Benefits

Directed drawing is more than just a fun activity. It strengthens fine motor skills, boosts confidence, and nurtures creativity.

It teaches kids to follow instructions while giving them the space to interpret those steps in their unique way.

Decorate and Celebrate

Why stop at drawing? Once the mosque is on paper, your kids can embellish it with whatever strikes their fancy. Stickers, glitter, buttons – the sky’s the limit!

This activity is a great way to make Ramadan fun, get kids excited about the mosque, and proud of their Muslim identity – or for the non Muslim families, a way to learn about other cultures and get involved.
