The Chinguetti Mosque is a mosque in Chinguetti, Mauritania. It was an ancient center of worship created by the founders of the oasis city of Chinguetti in the Adrar region of Mauritania in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. The minaret of this ancient structure is supposed to be the second oldest in continuous use anywhere in the Muslim world.
In the 1970s the mosque was restored through a UNESCO effort, but it, along with the city itself, continues to be threatened by intense desertification.
In 1996 the old town of Chinguetti was added to the Unesco world heritage list, together with the old towns of Ouadane, Tichitt and Oualata.
In Sunni Islam, Chinguetti is generally regarded as the 7th holy city.

ان كنت زعلان قلي شنهي ذنوبي . الكون يزعل ولا تزعل يا محبوبي
اضيع من دونك واضيع أجمــل دروبي . يا خوفي تنساني وتنسى كل عناويني
بالحيل محتاجك تعال وقدر ظروفي . فيني هموم ومالقيت الي معي يـــوفـــي
وينك تعال ابعد همومي وظني وخوفي . صوتك يا اجمل حب يا عمري يكفيني
Not quite a dungeon, but definitely a secret spot. Here’s the Samarkand Registan’s gorgeous Madrasa (Islamic school) dome stealing the show through a minaret’s narrow window during a steep climb along the stony spiral staircase. Sometimes, the best views come with a bit of mystery and a whole lot of nostalgia.
But is growing a beard obligatory under Islam?
Professor Muhammad Abdel Haleem, of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, says "this is not the only view expressed by Muslim scholars."
Many Muslim scholars now do not see the beard as an obligation and do shave their beards.
Muslims learn about the Prophet's views on facial hair not from the Koran, but through hadith - or sayings - attributed to Muhammad.
One such hadith, in a collection by Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari centuries ago, stipulates: "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard."
The Prophet Muhammad is believed to have had a beard and those who insist that devout Muslims grow beards argue that they are doing no more than asking the faithful to emulate the Prophet's actions.
The tower includes elements of traditional Islamic architecture and southwestern Asian design. Elizabeth Lambourn's Islam Beyond Empires: Mosques and Islamic Landscapes in India and the Indian Ocean studies the introduction of Islam in South Asia and how the region influenced the Islamic religious architecture. These newly arrived Muslims from the Islamic West escaped the Mongol Empire and emigrated to India, where they constructed religious centers. The Qutb Minar serves as a central marker to these new Muslim communities as well as being a reminder of Islam's presence in the area. The architecture of the minaret varies greatly from that of the typical style and design of the mosques constructed in the Middle East. The style of these structures is influenced by the local architecture such as the Indic temples. This affected the different materials, techniques, and decoration that were used in the construction of the Qutb Minar.
Historically, tower minarets were uncommon in South Asian-Islamic design until the 17th century, due to the slow adoption of the typical Middle Eastern style in India. It is also detached from the main mosque, showcasing how the native culture affected the design of a Middle Eastern structure. The Qutb Minar is seen as the "earliest and best example of a fusion or synthesis of Hindu-Muslim traditions" according to Ved Parkash in his essay The Qutb Minar from Contemporary and Near Contemporary Sources. Like many mosques built in South Asia during this time period, the minaret was constructed by Hindu laborers and craftsmen but overseen by Muslim architects. This led to a construction that synthesized both Hindu and Islamic religious architecture. Since some of the craftsmen were Hindu and unfamiliar with the Quran, the inscriptions are a compilation of disarranged Quranic texts and other Arabic expressions.

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

A serene Islamic-inspired interior with high pointed arches and elegant stained-glass windows in turquoise and gold. Soft white curtains drape between the arches. The floor is covered with lush green plants, grass, and colorful flowers (pink, violet, white), creating a vibrant natural carpet. Small flowering bushes and green potted plants are scattered subtly around the space, especially near the walls and windows. Natural light pours in, enhancing the blend of architecture and nature.

La foto è stata scattata in una delle sale della Galleria d’arte moderna di Milano, in via Palestro.
La statua in primo piano, ispirata ai lavori di Casanova, è la Venere di Pompeo Marchesi e per me ben rappresenta l’idea dell’arte classica e occidentale.
L’immagine della donna in burqa invece è opera di un fotografo anonimo, che ho voluto inserire al posto di un quadro ottocentesco presente nella sala. Le due donne (come le loro culture) si guardano ma non si parlano. Mi chiedo se un giorno (finalmente e senza violenza) riusciranno davvero a parlarsi per condividere quello che di più profondo possono trasmettere?

“The photo was taken in one of the rooms of the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan, Via Palestro. The statue in the foreground, inspired by the work of Casanova, is the Venus of Pompeo Marchesi… The image of the woman in a burqa instead is the work of an anonymous photographer… The two women (like their cultures), they look but do not speak. I wonder if one day (finally and without violence) they really will be able to talk to each other sharing what they can convey deeper?”

The word of islam comes from aslama which in literal translation means to leave your important property to the hands of somebody else. Therefore islam, the noun of aslama will be an attitude to leave everything to the will of God and those who did this are called muslim in Arabic. This is what my arab friend told me.

Look-up shot at MIA, Museum of Islamic Art, Doha
The ceiling and the interior design of MIA itself is an artwork.
The light falling from the centre of the dome looks like a sun, surrounded by other stars and galaxies. The curved decoration at the bottom of the photo reminds me of the movement of the night sky.
I made light and shadow a bit clearer so that the exterior design looks more three-dimensional and deleted some noises such as the iron bars from the image with the help of Photoshop.
When I took this picture in 2014, I preferred to post the photos as they were shot at the sites. Lately, I can't resist adding the minimum adjustment with the effective use of Photoshop.
Thank you very much for taking your precious time to view my photography!
