Could you use the neighboring buildings to move the people to the front of the mosque? The buildings on the side are still very strangely laid out. Put a piece of tracing paper over the plan and make a dwg of the negative space. Also the section is very important - there is a slope.
You should do a figure ground of the neighborhood. The way the main building faces Mecca, may be the adjoining bldgs of the neighborhood will direct you how you can lay out administration, and shelter. i like the idea of the courtyard. Need a lot more development. And yes SECTION. Try to think in section at the same time. How do you approach to the building. You are designing the building. You can control how people come and go. Use the site to your advantage
