All praise be to Allah!
The Seven Wonders of Muslim World:
1. The Grand Mosque in Mecca is the
largest mosque in the world. At its
centre is the Kaaba, a cubic building
covered in a gold-embroidered black
cloth towards which Muslims turn as
they pray.
Every year, millions of people perform
the Hajj -- the pilgrimage during the
12th month of the Islamic year -- and
many others make the pilgrimage at
other times of year, which is called
the Umrah.
2. The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem,
Islam's third holiest city is situated
next to the Dome of the Rock.
This iconic golden dome can be seen
from all over Jerusalem.
Al-Aqsa, dates from the late 7th
century, making it one of the oldest
mosques in the world.
3. The Alhambra in Granada, Spain,
which dates from the 13th century,
was designed by Muslim architects
and built by the Muslim rulers of El
Andaluz, or Andalucia.
It was inspired by Qur'anic
descriptions of paradise as an oasis,
with trees, fountains and buildings.
4. The Blue Mosque in Istanbul,lined
with blue tiles and reflecting the
Byzantine church architecture of 400
years ago,
expresses the sumptuousness of the
Ottoman Empire and represents the
zenith of Muslim architecture.
5. The Great Mosque of Djenne in Mali
is the tallest mud-built mosque in the
world. Its thick walls and many roof
supports make it dark and simple
inside.
Every Friday, people in this huge but
poor country come into the city to
pray here.
6. The Imam Mosque in Esfahan, Iran,
is magnificent in its design and
decoration.
Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, it
was a stunning statement of Persian
imperial power, and incorporates a
pool, colleges and communal space,
as well as the mosque itself.
7. The Badshahi Mosque in Lahore,
Pakistan was built in 1673 and is a
wonderful example of Mughal
architecture.
Do remember us in your prayers and
seek Forgiveness, Strength in Eimaan
and Guidance for the Ummah from
the Almighty One
