Post a couple pictures of the room.

Please see the main prayer hall in below 2 photos.  There is also a washing ablution area and a meeting room.
And on the upper floor, there is a similar hall for ladies.

With that room layout, low ceilings and what looks like hard solid concrete walls I would look multiple smaller speakers distributed though the room either mounted on the ceilings or on the pillars and walls. Doing that would put everyone close to the near field coverage of a speaker.

Yes the ceiling is just 10-11 feet high. 
During prayer time, it is fully packed with people.  I worry that it would get too loud and unbearable for the person who is closes to the speaker, hopefully the smaller speaker would not be unpleasant.
How small should i go?  What power range in watts should i be looking for in the smaller speakers?

Google "ceiling speaker placement calculator" lot of them out there from most major speaker brands. Any of those will give you and idea of how many would be needed for the intended coverage, it will be more than you think for even coverage!

Hi Zamanali,

For the recitation,  aim the mic directly at the reciter's mouth, and have their mouth a little closer to the microphone.
This will lower the potential for feedback, and improve vocal clarity.

Thanks and good health,  Weogo

I agree that multiple, smaller speakers located throughout the space will provide the best results in that space. That might suggest configuring a 70volt system.

I would suggest not fixating on wattage, as manufacturer's specs can vary from precise to absurd.  Look for a reputable brand speaker with reasonably flat frequency response from approximately 80Hz to 6-8kHz. If the ceiling will not permit recessed mounting, look for speakers that have their own enclosures.

I just want to update that i got the EuroSound EU-MA120 Amplifier together with EuroSound Ceiling Speakers BMCS20T/FDS.  I am now just waiting for the cables to arrive to complete the system. 
Even though earlier I planned for supplying sound to two separate zones with their own controls, but i ended up with single output with this amplifier.
I wonder if i still have an option to configure controls separately for two different zones.

That's a mono amp, so the simplest way to get two zones would be to add a second one and link the inputs.

Or use 70V/100V volume controls if the zones you need to control only have a few speakers per zone.
