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.

Kampong Glam (Singapore's Muslim Quarter) features many early shophouse style architecture (c. 1840s–1900s), characterized by
narrow, two-story, low-ceilinged structures with minimal plaster ornamentation. These conserved buildings often feature five-foot ways with arched walkways, French windows with louvered shutters, and, today, are renowned for vibrant murals, colorful facades, and independent boutique shops.
These are some of the earliest, most intimate shophouses in Singapore, with many just over 4 meters wide.
Gazetted as part of the Kampong Glam Conservation Area in 1989, these buildings maintain their historical structure while being adapted for modern retail, cafes, and restaurants.
ant Pau del Camp és un antic monestir benedictí que es troba en ple barri del Raval. Fundat amb tota probabilitat al segle x, la seva església romànica és la més antiga que es conserva a la ciutat de Barcelona,[1] i és l'únic d'aquest estil a la ciutat.[2] El seu petit claustre, amb arcs polilobulats, és únic dins l'arquitectura del romànic europeu.Història
No hi ha dades exactes sobre la data de construcció. Hom creu que va ser abans de l'any 911, que és la data que figura a la làpida trobada al monestir i corresponent a la tomba de Guifré II, a qui s’atribueix la fundació del monestir. Es creu, també, que el comte va iniciar la construcció d'una església sobre les restes d'un antic edifici religiós i que s’hi va establir una comunitat de monjos benedictins. El monestir era fora de la protecció de les muralles de la ciutat; d'aquí el seu nom, ja que es trobava al mig del camp.
Com que era fora del recinte emmurallat, el monestir va esdevenir un blanc fàcil per als atacants. Així, el 985, les tropes d'Almansor el van atacar;[3] va quedar destruït gairebé completament i fou abandonat per la comunitat. A partir d'aquella data va passar a ser una simple església dedicada a sant Pau.
El 1096 va començar la restauració de l'edifici i s'hi va instaurar una nova comunitat. Malgrat tot, el monestir fou novament atacat el 1114. Tres anys després, el matrimoni format per Geribert Guitard i Rotlendis en van fer una nova restauració i van unir el monestir, en qualitat de priorat, al de Sant Cugat del Vallès.Al segle xiv es va construir una nova muralla de la ciutat i Sant Pau del Camp va quedar finalment englobada dintre del nou recinte emmurallat. El 1508, el monestir es va unir al de Montserrat fins que el 1593 es va tornar a unir, també en forma de priorat, al de Sant Cugat.
El 1617 es va unir definitivament a un altre monestir, el de Sant Pere de la Portella, situat al Berguedà. El 1672 s'hi va instal·lar el noviciat de la Congregació Claustral Tarraconense, que abans era a Lleida, i es va iniciar l'època de major esplendor del cenobi. La comunitat va abandonar definitivament Sant Pau del Camp el 1835, amb la llei de desamortització de Mendizábal, que va comportar l'exclaustració. El darrer abat va ser Joan de Safont i de Ferrer, home certament polifacètic: teòleg, matemàtic, astrònom, filòsof, catedràtic de la Universitat de Barcelona i membre de l'Acadèmia de Bones Lletres.
A partir d'aleshores, el monestir va passar per diversos usos. El 1842 va esdevenir una escola, mentre que entre el 1855 i el 1890 es convertia en caserna militar. El 1879 fou declarat Monument Nacional, gràcies a la intervenció de diversos ciutadans, entre els quals Víctor Balaguer. El recinte fou novament devastat el 1936. Des d'aleshores s'hi han fet diverses restauracions.
El CRAI Biblioteca de Reserva de la Universitat de Barcelona conserva, arran de la desamortització dels convents del 1835, els fons provinents del Monestir de Sant Pau del Camp, que actualment sumen més de vint edicions.[4] Així mateix, ha registrat i descrit diversos exemples de les marques de propietat que van identificar el convent durant la seva existència.[5]
Sant Pau del Camp (Catalan for 'Saint Paul of the countryside' / 'in the fields'; IPA: [ˈsam ˈpaw ðəl ˈkam]) is a church and former monastery in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. While the monastery now stands within the El Raval district in central Barcelona, it once stood outside the city (before 14th century); its rural location gave the church its name.
History
There are no sources about the monastery's origins, it is generally thought that it was founded by count Wilfred II of Barcelona, whose funerary inscription was found within the monastery in 1596.[1] The monastery is documented from 977; in 985 it was sacked and destroyed by the Muslim troops of al-Mansur Ibn Abi Aamir.[2]
Restorations were begun in 1096, through donations from Geribert Guitard and Rotlendis,[2] and a new monastic community arrived. In 1117, Sant Pau became a priory of the monastery of Sant Cugat.[3] By the 13th, a new cloister, church and monastic quarters were built.[2] In 1377, the monastery consisted of a prior and eight monks, which declined in the 15th century to consist of three monks.[2] An initial monastic meeting for the Terragona province occurred in 1577 and such meetings would continue from 1594 to 1835.[2]
The monks were removed upon the secularization of monasteries by the Spanish government in 1835.[2]
It was declared a National Monument in 1879.
Xi'an, as the primary city on China's silk road, is full of Muslim influence that is reflected in the very unique style of local cuisine. Below is one of the numerous streets that are full of food vendors. It would take days to walk through them all.

The beautiful romanesque abbey of Sant Benet de Bages, near Manresa, was founded in the IX Century but destroyed by the muslims in 1114. It was rebuilt later in romanesque style. In 1593 was put under the control of the larger Montserrat abbey until 1835, when all monastic communities where eliminated. It was sacked and abandoned till 1907, when the mother of the Catalan painter Ramon Casas bought it as a residence (it was owned by the family till 2000, and then fully restored).

A muslim girl was walking up the stairs to the roof of a Masjid, while she looked constantly at the camera with what I was shooting.
Since in general girls are not allowed inside any Masjid, it was nice to see girl inside the Masjid.
She was holding a sign that invited "Meet a Muslim" with some friends in downtown Chicago and handing out flowers and hand written letters downtown. I expressed my gratitude that she is a part of America.
I hope everyone is kind to her. There is room in this world, in this country, and in my neighborhood for people of all faiths. Hate has no home here.
Pretty boring for terrorists, as they did not blow up anybody. They just hung out with everyone else, only freaking out when Yusuf Islam (the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens) was performing. But I'm pretty sure they screamed just as loud when Ozzy came out on stage moments later.

Ramadan Mubarak to all of my friends.
Madrasa students are reciting the Holy Quran inside their living room. In rural Bangladesh, you will find peoples are very interest to send their children into the Madrasa, rather than primary school. They think religious education is the only way to gratify almighty and it will help the parents on Day of Judgment.

Two female mannequins dressed in Filipino Muslim traditional garbs seem to peer outward from a surrounding of colorful sarongs and clothing. A contrast between traditional, conservative attire clashing with vibrant colors.
Whilst exploring the Muslim market on the bankd of the Mekong in Phnom Penh I saw this lady. The first shots I took where with her lower on the steps, I liked them but it wasn't working for me. So walked away and came back 15 minutes later when she was sitting on her porch.
Muslim people during Ramadan are going down stair after finishing their 'Jumma' prayer in a 15th stored mosque. On every Friday at noon they come in mosque for 'Jumma namaj'. Generally during Ramadan more people come in mosque.
