Bursa's Ulu Camii is the most magnificent multi-domed mosque in Anatolia.  Located in the city center, this mosque was built in 1399. In the very center of the mosque is a pool-shaped fountain with a water jet. Ulu Camii is both the largest mosque in Bursa and one of the most striking examples of Ottoman art.

Listen to the Surah Al-Fatiha

Recitation by Sheikh Saad Al-Ghamdi

English translation: 
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Owner of the Day of Judgement. Thee (alone) we worship, Thee (alone) we ask for help. Show us the straight path: The path of those whom Thou hast favored; not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. Ameen. (Qu'ran 1)
