Islamic Architecture

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.

Brilliant architecture inside the palace of Moghul emperor, Akbar, in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India
Ibn Tulun also added his own innovations: according to architectural historians, this is the first structure to use pointed arches, two hundred years before the European Gothic arch.
The mosque occupies 2.5ha, large enough for the entire Al-Fustat community to gather there to pray on Fridays.
The geometric simplicity of the mosque is best appreciated from the top of the minaret, which also has magnificent views of the Citadel.
Body Cleansing:
Wash each part of the body three times in this sequence:
Hands, mouth, nose and face;
Elbow, head, ears, feet and ankles.
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

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.

His plight ?
Sunni Shia Alawites. the list goes on
because of baseless questionable historical beliefs
of questionable events that might or might not occured over a thousand years ago.
Factions segregate, fulminate hatred towards each other and bombs kill those who are named HERETICS simply because they dont share similar beliefs.
When one's beliefs kill other men then MAN has reached his lowest form of humanity and can no longer IMHO justify lethal attacks in the name of RELIGION.
This man made schism of beliefs is no longer peaceful tolerance
it is hatred and leads to chaos that we now see in the middle east, south Asia,
and i predict one day in the USA.

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.

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.
At the Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab Mosque in Doha, Qatar.
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.
