Ikon baru westsumatera The first stone of the construction was laid on December 21, 2007, inaugurated by the Governor of West Sumatra Province Gamawan Fauzi. Construction took a long time because of budget issues. Apart from relying on the West Sumatra's regional government budget, other strategies were used to collect funding, such as relying on donation from the people, from the private sectors, as well as from foreign governments. In 2009 The government of Saudi Arabia funded 50 million US dollars for the construction of the mosque, however this came at the same time as the 2009 West Sumatra earthquakes, so the funding was relocated for rehabilitation of the earthquake victims and reconstruction process of West Sumatra instead. In 2014, the Turkish government donated rugs for the mosque The most distinctive feature of the mosque is its roof form, a contemporary interpretation of the traditional roof of the Minangkabau vernacular houses. The shape of the roof is also meant to symbolize the cloth that was held by the four clan leaders of the Qurayshtribe by its corners to lift the blackstones to the current spot in mecca The roof frame is constructed of steel pipes, supported by four curving concrete columns. The main building consists of three floors. The main prayer hall is located on the second floor. The mosque is able to accommodate 20,000 people.

This masjid is very iconic in the city center of Padang, easily reached and seen from the main road. It has a minaret as a symbol of a masjid. The building is huge as well. This grand masjid is a pride of West Sumatera people. There're group of big letters of MASJID RAYA SUMATERA BARAT in the park outside the main building. Local tourist usually take the picture of this masjid in this park, because you can see the whole physic of the building from here. It has wide area of parking lots, though there're none of big trees around, but someday those trees will grow and shade the car parked here. This masjid is disabled friendly as well. There's ramp to the main building inside the masjid. The wudhu area is roomy, well designed, and plenty of taps for wudhu, but the toilet area is not well managed, several taps are broken. It has a huge interior masjid with high ceiling. The wall is perforated on 4 sides of the wall, make the air circulation run very well, let the air breeze inside the masjid. So, no need any electrical fans to make the masjid feel cozy. The roof made from wood I suppose....I was not so sure, but it is crafted beautifully; amazing wood craft I ever seen. This masjid is open daily 24 hours I hope, the West Sumatera government take care this masjid profesionally and well managed so that this masjid can be sustain for years to come.

Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat jadi salah satu destinasi yang populer di wilayah Padang, Sumatera Barat. Pasalnya, sebagai destinasi religi, masjid ini memiliki keunikan dan manfaat yang sangat menginspirasi. Diketahui bahwa Masjid Raya Sumatera Barat merupakan masjid terbesar dan termegah yang berdiri di Sumatera Barat. Ia menjadi ikon Kota Padang dan dikenal pula dengan sebutan Masjid Mahligai Minang. Masjid ini berada di Jalan Khatib Sulaiman, Alai Parak Kopi, Padang Utara dan dibangun di atas lahan seluas 0 ribu meter persegi, dengan luas bangunan mencapai 18 ribu meter persegi. Tak serupa masjid pada umumnya, masjid ini justru tak memiliki kubah, melainkan hanya memiliki atap khas budaya Minangkabau. Bagian atapnya memiliki desain Rumah Gadang dengan empat sudut lancip, sedangkan bangunannya berbentuk gonjong. Rancangan unik kubah ini rupanya disengaja. Masjid berkubah unik ini rupanya dirancang khusus untuk tahan terhadap gempa bumi hingga 10 magnitudo. Masjid Agung Sumatera Barat juga bisa digunakan untuk shelter atau lokasi evakuasi bila sewaktu-sewaktu terjadi bencana. Rizal Muslimin adalah arsitek dibalik hadirnya masjid unik terbesar dan termegah ini. Rizal sendiri adalah pemenang dari sayembara arsitektur yang diikuti oleh 323 arsitek dari berbagai negara. Masjid ini terdiri atas tiga lantai. Lantai pertama digunakan sebagai tempat wudu dan tempat tambahan jika pada lantai utama para jemaah sudah penuh. Kemudian lantai dua adalah ruang utama dalam masjid yang digunakan sebagai tempat utama salat berjamaah. Sedangkan lantai tiga juga bisa difungsikan sebagai tempat alternatif untuk para jemaah salat, atau sebagai tempat istirahat jika pengunjung sepi. Merupa Hajar Aswad, interior masjid pada bagian mihrab dihiasi pula oleh ukiran Asma’ul Husna berwarna keemasan di sebuah latar berwarna putih. Bagian bawah lantai masjid juga menarik karena dilengkapi dengan karpet permadani berwarna merah yang digunakan sebagai sajadah, dan merupakan hadiah dari Pemerintah Turki. Keunikan fungsi masjid yang berbeda dari masjid pada umumnya, ditambah keindahan desain yang ditampilkan, menjadikan mahakarya milik Rizal Muslimin menjadi destinasi wisata religi yang populer dan menarik untuk dikunjungi.
