Reception report was emailed on the following day. QSL card arrived on 2 August 2024.

The QSL card depicts the Suncaklar Mosque located in Büyükçekmece, a suburban neighbourhood on the outskirts of Istanbul. The Suncaklar Mosque has a simple cave-like interior space that becomes quite dramatic and awe-inspiring for those who want to pray and be alone with God. The slits and fractures along the Qiblah wall enhance the directionality of the prayer hall and allows daylight to filter into the interior space. The mosque won the Project of the Future Award at the 2011 edition of the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona, and the First Prize in the Religion category at the 2013 edition of the World Architecture Festival organised in Singapore.
