The exterior of the mosque is defined by a distinctly modern architectural language. Its striking white facade is adorned with artistic embellishments like ventilation blocks and intricate geometric screens, offering a sleek, contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic motifs. A defining feature of the exterior is the monumental glass arches that face the main road, inviting natural light and establishing an open, welcoming presence. This modern silhouette is anchored by a minimalist, towering minaret crowned with the Arabic calligraphy of "Allah," alongside a smooth central dome that integrates perfectly into the building's clean lines.

While the exterior projects a modern identity, the "Unity in Renewal" project seeks to elevate cultural significance by infusing the interior with a deep sense of tranquility and reverence. The main prayer halls are deeply rooted in historical homage, specifically drawing inspiration from the Raudhah at Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina. The interior features a breathtaking center-point framed by striking arches with alternating dark and white banded voussoirs. The columns further amplify this majestic atmosphere, featuring ornate, dark square capitals and intricate golden banding at their bases, creating a serene environment for worshippers facing the Mihrab.
