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.
Claustro de San Fernando, Siglo XIII.
Detalle de un fragmento bien conservado de las yeserías mudéjares que adornan las bóvedas, conocido como de los pavos reales.
Aunque se han perdido en buena parte, los restos conservados son de gran importancia pues presentan formas muy variadas de derivación almohade combinando lacerías mixtilíneas, ataurique (ornamento vegetal característico del arte islámico), y epigrafía en caracteres cúficos (considerada primera caligrafía árabe).
Todo ello se talló sobre material aún blando, según la técnica almohade anterior al empleo de moldes, tan frecuente en las yeserías nazaríes posteriores.
Son obra de artífices traídos de Sevilla por Fernando III el Santo, después de la conquista de esa ciudad, y se terminaron con anterioridad al año 1260.
La riqueza y calidad de estas decoraciones, las hacen destacar entre las obras de yeso hispano-musulmanas.
Cloister of San Fernando, 13th century.
Detail of a well-preserved fragment of the Mudejar plasterwork that adorns the vaults, known as peacocks.
Although they have been largely lost, the preserved remains are of great importance as they present very varied forms of Almohad derivation combining mixtilinear lacework, ataurique (vegetable ornament characteristic of Islamic art), and epigraphy in Kufic characters (considered the first Arabic calligraphy).
All of this was carved on still soft material, according to the Almohad technique prior to the use of molds, so common in later Nasrid plasterwork.
They are the work of craftsmen brought from Seville by Ferdinand III the Saint, after the conquest of that city, and were completed before the year 1260.
The richness and quality of these decorations make them stand out among the Hispanic-Muslim plaster works.

The Alhambra is the an architectural wonder and the greatest treasure of Moorish Spain. The Alhambra sits on a hill overlooking the city of Granada; and consists of three distinct groups of buildings: Casa Real (Royal Palace or Palacios Nazaries), the palace gardens of the Generalife, and the Alcazaba.
A few select quotes from Wikipedia:
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 Moorish emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
The Muslim ruler Muhammad XII of Granada surrendered the Emirate of Granada in 1492 without the Alhambra itself being attacked when the forces of the Reyes Católicos, King Fernando II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, took the surrounding territory.
After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings being occupied by squatters, 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.

A big thank you to you all!
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.

We got a chance to pray Zhuhr in this beautiful mosque and it was lovely. I am amazed at the many colors of islam, it unites us beyond race, color and regions. There were few worshippers but that was mainly because it was a weekday.
Hagia Sophia is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.
From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture." It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque. The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.

Wuḍūʾ is the Islamic procedure for washing parts of the body (hands, mouth, nostrils, arms, head, feet) using water. What activities require wuḍūʾ, and what rituals constitute and what breaks or invalidates it are governed by fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).
