Der Schrein Zainab bint Alis in Damaskus ist eines der beiden Mausoleen, die beanspruchen, das Mausoleum von Zainab bint Ali – der Tochter von Imam Ali und Fatima, Tochter des Propheten Mohammed, sowie die Schwester von Imam Hasan und Imam Husain – zu sein. Das andere Mausoleum liegt in der ägyptischen Hauptstadt Kairo. Der Schrein ist eine wichtige islamische Pilgerstätte, insbesondere der Schiiten (Wikipedia).
Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque is a mosque located in the city of Sayyidah Zaynab, in the southern suburbs of Damascus, Syria. According to Twelver Shia Muslim tradition, the mosque contains the grave of Zaynab, the daughter of ‘Alī and Fātimah and granddaughter of Muhammad. Sunni Muslim and Ismaili Shia tradition place Zaynab's tomb in the mosque of the same name in Cairo, Egypt. The tomb became a center of Twelver religious studies in Syria and a destination of mass pilgrimage by Twelver Shia Muslims from across the Muslim world (Wikipedia).
Both reflection and symmetry are essential elements of the Islamic architecture.
To take pictures here would be a kind of therapy because water as smooth as a mirror has a beneficial effect on peace of mind. I feel as if I can see even my subconsciousness at this location.

The Bahia Palace, set in extensive gardens, was built in the late 19th century by the Grand Vizier of Marrakesh, Si Ahmed ben Musa (Bou-Ahmed). Bou Ahmed resided here with his four wives, 24 concubines and many children. With a name meaning "brilliance", it was intended to be the greatest palace of its time, designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles. Bou-Ahmed paid special attention to the privacy of the palace in its construction and employed architectural features such as multiple doors which prevented passers-by from seeing into the interior. The palace took seven years to build, with hundreds of craftsmen from Fes working on its wood, carved stucco and zellij.The palace is set in a two-acre (8,000 m²) garden with rooms opening onto courtyards. The palace acquired a reputation as one of the finest in Morocco and was the envy of other wealthy citizens. Upon the death of Bou-Ahmed in 1900, the palace was raided by Sultan Abd al-Aziz.

Mihrab de la Mezquita de Córdoba. Espacio de oración situado en el muro de la qibla. Pertenece a la época de Al-Hakam II (961-976). Bellísima construcción en la que se combinan elementos oratorios y decorativos de diversos estilos orientales con acierto exquisito. La mística espacial se fundamenta en el vacío y la expresión escrita y geométrica.

Alminar y patio central, Gran Mezquita de Cairuán, una de las cuatro ciudades santas del Islam, también llamada Mezquita de Uqba (Túnez), por su arquitecto Uqba ibn Nafi (siglo VII). El alminar, iniciado en el año 725 y terminado en el siglo IX, es el más antiguo del mundo islámico.
Beautiful building! The limestone façade and typical Baroque ornamentation are not typical for any Islamic center.
كلّنا يبحث عن السعادة ....
لا تحزن : لأن الحزن يزعجك من الماضي , ويخوّفك من المستقبل , ويذهب عليك يومك .
لا تحزن : لأن الحزن ينقبض له القلب , ويعبس له الوجه , وتنظفئ منه الروح , ويتلاشى معه الأمل .
لا تحزن : لأن الحزن يسرّ العدو , ويغيظ الصديق , ويشمّت بك الحاسد , ويغيّر عليك الحقائق .
لاتحزن : لأن الحزن لا يردّ مفقوداً ولا يعيد ذاهباً ولا يبعث ميّتاً ولا يردّ قدراً ولا يجلب نفعاً .
لاتحزن : فإن الله يدافع عنك , والملائكة تستغفر لك , والمؤمنون يشركونك في دعائهم في كل صلاة , والنبي يشفع , والقرآن يعدك وعداً حسناً وفوق كل هذا رحمة أرحم الراحمين
لاتحزن فالحسنة بعشر أمثالها إلى سبعمائة ضعف إلى أضعاف كثيرة , والسيئة بمثلها إلا أن يعفو ربّك ويتجاوز , فالله من كرمٍ ما سمع مثله , ومن جودٍ لا يقاربه جود !
لا تحزن : فأنت على خير في ضرائك وسرّائك , وغناك وفقرك , وشدّتك ورخائك , "عجباً لأمر المؤمن أمره كلّه خير , إن أصابته سرّاء فشكر كان خيراً له , وإن أصابته ضرّاء فصبر كان خيراً له ".
من كتاب (لاتحزن)
جمعة مليئة بالسعادة لكم جميعاً

« L'Alhambra ! l'Alhambra ! Palais que les génies
Ont doré comme un rêve et rempli d'harmonies.
Forteresse aux créneaux festonnés et croulants
Où l'on entend la nuit de magiques syllabes,
Quand la lune, à travers les mille arceaux arabes,
Sème les murs de trèfles blancs. »
Victor Hugo - Extrait de « Les Orientales »
L'Alhambra (en arabe : الْحَمْرَاء, Al-Ḥamrā' , « la rouge », en raison de la couleur que prennent les murailles au coucher du soleil) de Grenade est un ensemble palatial, et un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique et l'acropole médiévale la plus majestueuse du monde méditerranéen.
C'est avec la Grande mosquée de Cordoue le plus prestigieux témoin de la présence musulmane en Espagne du viiie au xve siècle. Leurs caractères sont d'ailleurs opposés : à la sobriété grandiose du monument religieux représentatif de la première architecture islamique, s'oppose l'exubérance de la dernière manière hispano-mauresque : celle-ci s'exprime en effet dans les palais des derniers souverains nasrides, alors en pleine décadence, et qui disparaîtront bientôt lors des derniers assauts de la Reconquista.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid 11th century by the Berber king Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada who built its current palace and walls, and later converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain and its court of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Reyes Católicos ("Catholic Monarchs") in 1492, some portions were used by Christian rulers. The Palace of Charles V, built by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, was inserted in the Alhambra within the Nasrid fortifications. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the Alhambra was rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Arab-Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the inspiration for many songs and stories.
La Alhambra es una ciudad palatina andalusí situada en Granada, España. Es un rico complejo palaciego y fortaleza (alcázar o al-qasr القصر) que alojaba al monarca y a la corte del Reino nazarí de Granada. Su verdadero atractivo, como en otras obras musulmanas de la época, no sólo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente. En 2011 se convirtió en el monumento más visitado de España, recibiendo la cifra histórica de 2.310.764 visitantes.
Some guy was really pushy trying to be our guide and pretending that he was just interested in practice his english. Then he found some other friend of his and tried the same... but we manage to lose him when we just followed our instinc and walked a little more to find the door we where looking for... even if he said that there is no access for non muslims... nice experience.
Muhammad Ali Pasha(4 March 1769 – 2 August 1849) was born in the Sanjak of Kavala (modern-day Kavala)was the Ottoman Albanian[3] governor and de facto ruler of Egypt from 1805 to 1848, considered the founder of modern Egypt. At the height of his rule, he controlled Egypt, Sudan, Hejaz, Najd, the Levant, Cyprus and parts of Greece.
He was a military commander in an Albanian Ottoman force sent to recover Egypt from a French occupation under Napoleon. Following Napoleon's withdrawal, Muhammad Ali rose to power through a series of political maneuvers, and in 1805 he was named Wāli (governor) of Egypt and gained the rank of Pasha.His attempt at suppressing the Greek rebellion failed decisively, however, following an intervention by the European powers at Navarino.

C'est le plus haut minaret de Khiva (44,50), construit en 1910 par le vizir Islam Khodja. Le minaret avait un triple rôle : religieux (pour l'appel à la prière), militaire (tour de guet) et de repère pour les caravanes arrivant du désert.
De nos jours, il peut s'avérer très utile pour éviter de se perdre dans le dédale des rues et ruelles de la Khiva. Ichan Kala - la cité entre les remparts - c'est , outre les palais et les mausolées, un ensemble de plus d'une trentaine de mosquées et medersas, toutes construites sur le même modèle : seuls la taille et les variantes du décor des façades et des minarets les différencient.
