The Mausoleum of Khawaja Ahmed Yasawi is situated in the north-eastern part of the modern-day town of Turkestan (formerly known as Hazrat-e Turkestan), an ancient centre of caravan trade known earlier as Khazret and later as Yasi, in the southern part of Kazakhstan. The structure is within the vicinity of a historic citadel, which is now an archaeological site.
Remains of medieval structures such as other mausoleums, mosques and bath houses characterize the archaeological area. To the north of the Mausoleum of Khawaja Ahmed Yasawi, a reconstructed section of the citadel wall from the 1970s separates the historical area from the developments of the modern town.
Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was the 12th-century head of a regional school of Sufism, a mystic movement in Islam which began in the 9th century.
Isaiah 7:14
14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
Luke 1:27-38
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Two hours before dawn when the Messahers loudly beated their drum and cried out "Al chalet kher min al-num" (the prayer is better than the sleep) I had spotted this woman with the light and almost ghostly steps making her way through the abandoned souk up to the mosque Al-Aqsa for the first prayer of the day in the holy month of Ramadan.
To all my Muslim friends and contacts, wish you a benefical Ramadan, Insha-Allah
Ramadan Kareem,
D

The Masjid Omar Bin Alkhattab Mosque Park Holme.
Immigration to early South Australia was mainly from Britain and Germany. However, Sir Thomas Elder employed Afghans to breed camels for desert transportation of wool .He first shipped 109 camels to SA from the Middle East in 1865. The first Afghans arrived in SA at the same time and more arrived to work with camels providing supplies for the erection of the overland telegraph in 1872. Many of the cameleers ended up residing round Maree which was the start of the Birdsville track to QLD and other remote outback places. Consequently a half walled earth mud and thatch mosque was erected in Marree in 1884. This was followed by the Adelaide Mosque in 1889 which still stands with its four corner minarets. These early Muslims, who were mainly cameleers were from north-western India (now Pakistan, and the Khyber Pass area of Afghanistan. Eventually some had wives but they were mainly of non-Muslim background. The first major immigration of Muslims to South Australia began in the 1950s with refugees from Indonesia and Bosnia in Europe. By then the Adelaide Mosque was in disrepair and these new arrivals had the Mosque restored. In more recent decades Muslim migrants have arrived from the Middle East, Lebanon, Turkey and parts of Asia. There are now quite a few mosques In SA including Mosques at Park Holm, Woodville, the city, Mile End, Gilles Plains, Pooraka, Parafield Gardens, Greenfields, Elizabeth Grove, Gepps Cross, Kilburn, Royal Park, Beverley, Murray Bridge, Renmark, Whyalla and Virginia. Several mosques meet in former churches such as the new one at Virginia. The mosques vary in faith like Christian denominations and In SA they are mainly Sunni but we also have Shia mosques. Like Christianity and Judaism Islam emerged in the Middle East and shares some of the same values. Muslims believe in one God Allah and the prophets including Adam, Moses Abraham etc. The Holy Qur’an based on the verbal revelations of Muhammad lays down the law, commandments, codes for social and moral behaviour and religious philosophy.

Zhulin Buddhist Temple. Ottoway.
Although it is not directly recorded the first Buddhists probably arrived in Australia from China in 1851/52 with the news of the gold discoveries. The gold fields, especially in Victoria, had early temples and shrines and a couple still exist from the 1850s but Buddhist temples are relatively new in South Australia. Buddhism generally follows national lines in South Australia with Chinese, Laotian and Vietnamese temples but European Australians have followed Buddhist philosophy and practices since the 1950s. Immigrant groups of South East Asian since the 1970s have expanded the Buddhist communities in SA. The essential Buddhist message is about the nature of the human mind and the inner precious liberation that can be achieved through mediation, tranquillity, insight and after much progression and study nirvana. There are three main theological groupings of Buddhism in Australia generally but not exclusively following Indian/Tibetan, Chinese or Vietnamese/Laotian groupings. The Vietnamese Buddhist temple was established in 1978; the Laotian Buddhist temple was established in 1992; the Khmer Buddhist temple was established in 1989; the Sri Lankan Buddhist temple was established in 1996; the large Chinese Buddhist temple at Sellicks Hill was established in 2015; the Tibetan Buddha House was established around 1983. The Zhulin Buddhist temple was established in 1994 especially for the Chinese community. It is named after the world famous Mount Zhulin Buddhist temple in Taiwan. This ancient temple is known for its turned up corners on the roof and several layers of roofs and red pillars. This Mahayana Buddhism originated in northern India and was adopted by Han Chinese between 200 BC and 200 AD. In Chinese folklore all temples should have a pagoda and the Zhulin Temple at Ottoway is working on that right now. Most Buddhist temples are associated with a monastery for the training of its priests.

Cairo, Egypt-1971
In 1971 I participated in a mission trip that took me around the world. On that trip I took pictures with a point and shoot camera using 35 mm slide film. I recently had the slides digitized to use in a blog series about the trip. With more adjustments I am posting some of the better photos here. If you would like to see more photos check out the articles in the series "Around the World on a Mission" at Batteredsuitcase.net
Seladah train station, Calcutta (Kolkata), 6:20am: Forty-eight hours after waking up in a 23-house village with no roads in the state of Sikkim, we’ve just been dumped in the middle of the second largest city in India, notorious for its slums and pavement-dwellers and for being the last bastion on earth of the human-powered rickshaw. With all forms of transport at the station grossly overcharging, we decided to walk with our packs the 3km or so to the city’s guesthouse area. On the way, as we walked down an alley in the Muslim area of town, not realising that it was the middle of the Eid holiday following the hajj to Mecca, we were treated to an extraordinary dawn sight: with the interior of a nearby mosque full, dozens of Muslim worshippers - fathers and sons - dressed in their best shalwar kameez and mosque caps laid out their prayer mats onto the street and began praying right in front of us. With bleary eyes, we walked past and marvelled, again, at how India is always able to astonish us, even after all this time. For all its hassle and intensity and difficulties, it's moments like this that make India worth every minute.
My sister got this desk into the middle of our bedroom during her exams, when they were over we started throwing LITERALLY everything on top of it, the only solution to stop that was to drag that thing out of the room , which is what we did... we can be THAT MESSY!
I know it's ironic to put half the contents on the prayer mat. But eh, I was waiting for Maghrib when I had the urge to do this! Hmm, not really helping my case, heh. Does however make the photo more interesting, no?

Taken at Wollaton Park. Not something I've witnessed there before. Or anywhere so public for that matter...
A prayer mat or prayer rug is usually a square piece of cloth, sometimes even a large pile rug, utilized by Muslims and some Christians for daily prayer. During prayer, one must find a place in the house that is free from distractions and in order to do that, one must kneel on the ground or the floor, bow their heads, and prostrate. redcarpets.ae/prayer-mats-dubai/
Bought 4 prayer rugs from this shop. Most of which i gave to friends as gifts. They had so many it was impossible to choose as they were all so beautiful. Lovely friendly people. The guy on the motorcycle was just hanging out chatting to everyone. They also sold a lot of Batik in the store. I love how all the shops in Asia are open to the street. Something you cant find in Australia. Too many people would steal stuff.
