A look at the interior of the orignial Masjid
an-Nabi. Here the mihrab of rasulullah (saw) is shown along with a white
flowered carpeted area which indicates the Rawdah. From my house to my minbar
is a garden (rawdah) from the gardens of Paradise, said the prophet (saw).
This area is always packed with ppl vying for even a hand span to do their
sajdahs.
Hundreds of ppl take to the roof of the
prophet's mosque in Madinah praying under the open sky. Pillars and zamzam
coolers line the roof as well as the floors underneath.
This photo evokes the feelings
of solitude and peace inherent of Madinah. Behind this quiet wall lies
Rasullullah (saw).
Row after row of pillars and arches follow
each other inside the haram of Madinah. Beautiful carpets line the floors. A
cleaner leans on a pillar, taking a break from attacking even the smallest
speck of dust.
A lovely shot from the courtyard of the
Prophet's Mosque. Underneath this green dome lies Rasulullah (saw), Abu Bakr (ra)
& Umar (ra).
An aerila view of the haram before much of
the construction that exists today. Here you can almost imagine Makkah without
any of these tall buildings...the Kaaba alone in the middle of a mountainous
desert with only small houses in the hills surrounding it
A man prays in one of the sacred mosques.
This photo symbolizes the essence of Islam. Serenity, peace, faith in God,
simplicity, beauty...
Cars, buildings and mountains surround the
picturesque masjid. The haram looks as if it's hiding a mysterious, beautiful
secret within.
This picture shows the haram one night when
it is jam-packed with ppl from in front of the kaaba all the way up to the
rooftop. The haram glows with power an energy in the midst of Makkah.
Twilight at the haram filters everything into
a blue light. Worshippers sit or stand right in front of the holy door to the
Kaaba and the Maqam (station) of Ibrahim.
The Kaaba. The focus of the entire Muslim
world and the most sacred building on earth. This photo shows how big the
kaaba really is relative to the ppl constantly in motion around it. You can
also see some of the beauty of the interior levels of the haram.
This is an incredible
satellite photo of the Haram and surroundings. Kind of scary that non-Muslims
are also monitoring this, but perhaps in the future we can use these images
and GPS to control the flow of hajj better ;) The rest of us could watch as the satellite updates every
couple of minutes to show the movement of people during the hajj!!
A view of an outside wall of the
haram hints at some of the incredible architectural use of gold, marble and
inlaid stones throughout the haram. The floors are indeed cleaned and polished
enough you could eat off them.
