MOUNT SAFA





DURING HAJJ

[Insaanah]

:sl:

^Jazaakiallah khayr for sharing your pictures. I didn't know Mount Safa had been fenced off. Many people would stand on it to make du3a, some would climb right up and be at the back near the wall, and some just near the beginning where it joins the floor. Sometimes it was all white with people, and you could hardly see it, with everyone making du3a on it. Subhaanallah...

The Pictures Had Dissapeared For A Moment... Are These ScreenShots From The TV Or Internet. Beautiful Pictures !

[Insaanah]

:sl:

They are screenshots taken while watching the internet live salaat broadcast (small pics) or from my recording of it (larger pics).

[Endymion]

I found this picture on fb,is this real?What was beneath it?The well of ZamZam :hmm:

I found this picture on fb,is this real?What was beneath it?The well of ZamZam :hmm:

walaikum assalam
yes it was the zam zam area. steps on the left i think led to area for women and the other for men. on men's side was the well of zam zam.

[AabiruSabeel]

It was an area which had many taps for drinking Zamzam.

At the far end there was a glass window through which we could see a few pipelines going down and pumps etc. Something similar to this:

It was later removed to ease the congestion in Tawaf

[Insaanah]

:sl:
^ Are there still any segregated areas like that within the precincts of the masjid where one can utilise the zamzam fully as one did downstairs there?

Masjid al-Nabawi

Calligraphy of the Prophets :saws: saying:

مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِى وَمِنْبَرِى رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ

"What is between my house and my Mimbar is a garden from amongst the gardens of paradise."

(Sahih Muslim 1391, Sahih al Bukhari 1196)

Starting close and zooming out:

[_Y168]

^ Are there still any segregated areas like that within the precincts of the masjid where one can utilise the zamzam fully as one did downstairs there?

Not really. Within Masjidul Haraam, in almost all the Musallaa areas, (within which only some have Maa' uz Zam Zam), the Niqaab has to be kept on, as there is no guarantee that no man will come there. Although, at quiet times it is possible to sit there with no men around.

With regards to the Maa' uz Zam Zam generally, there is no place that I have come across till date, within which the area is fully segregated. Who knows whats to come in the future plans? :ia:.

The Camera On The Left Is Used Where They Set Audio Levels And Know When To Switch On Mic. It Also Moves As I Remember When People Were Saying Takbeerat Of Eid Loud, The Camera Was Moving. And When Sheikh Budair Asked For Mic To Be Put Higher. Signals Were Made To This Camera.

When they show a long band of calligraphy, it's better to record video of it, as otherwise you just get a few words at a time and have to take lots of screenshots, but by the time you start recording, half of it gets missed. They also show close ups of the green band of calligraphy on the qiblah wall of Masjid an-Nabawi - I took some screenshots but not sure if I have a whole ayah. I think I have some screenshots of ka'bah calligraphy, and if I find them, I'll post them.

This is a close up of one of the motifs/designs in the ceiling above the Rowdah:

It's the one in the middle of the pic here:

Jazakallah Khair For The Pictures.

I Dont Use That Software Anymore. Just Last Week I Updated VLC On Computer And I Realised That If I Watch The Quran Channe, Radio, Sunnah Channel LIVE. I Can Take Screenshots, Record Whole Video, Audio INSTANTLY. I Was Supposed To Also Record The Khutbah Translation But Switched Off My Charger Accidently And Laptop Died This Week. Im Not Sure Whether The Last Time I Tried Recording Video, It Was Poor Quality Due To My Internet Connection. Sometimes I Think When Your Recording And Watching, It Seems As If Its VERY POOR Quality But When You Finish Recording And Play Back, It Turns Out Brilliant And With Good Quality Videos. Yesterday They Were Showing The Ka'abah Pictures But This Saudi Links Have The Bottom Bit Of The Channel Cut Off At The Moment [ Live.gph.....] Link.

The video doesn't work for me. When I download it to comp, it shows up as being 0 kb in size.

More calligraphy from Masjid an-Nabawi:

Directly above the golden grills of Rasoolullah's :saws: grave:

Indeed, those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allah - they are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and great reward. (Surah al-Hujuraat, 49:3)

Today is the first time I was able to make out what it says. What an apt ayah to have there. Sends shivers down the spine.

This is the raised are with calligraphy set back a bit from the mihraab:

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ "إِنَّ الإِيمَانَ لَيَأْرِزُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا تَأْرِزُ الْحَيَّةُ إِلَى جُحْرِهَا‏‏

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him):

Allah's Messenger :saws: said, "Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)".
Sahih al-Bukhari 1876, the book of virtues of Madinah.

Some shots of the ceiling and arches of Masjid al Haram:

Today's (06.12.12) 'Ishaa'

[Insaanah]

Calligraphy of Qur'anic ayaat either side of the current mihraab in Masjid an Nabawi:

Referring to this post: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1555294

Top right of mihraab, in square Kufi calligraphy mostly without dots (start reading from bottom right of the square and go round clockwise).

There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful. (Surah at-Tawbah, 9:128)

Similar square top left of mihraab:

Muhammad :saws: is not the father of any man among you, but he is the messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah is ever Aware of all things. (Surah al-Ahzaab, 33:40)

In the triangle and circle, one of each on both sides of mihraab:

Up to the word shatrah only.

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad :saws:], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]... (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:144, part)

[Insaanah]

Round plaques marking where to send ones salaams:

Just to clarify, that in Madinah, the mimbar and mihraab, and the site of the graves, are in the brothers part of the mosque. When sisters go to pray, you will not see these things, but some of the newer marble and gold pillars. There are specific hours during the day when ladies can go to one side of the grave area (not the side that has the plaques on), and can pray in the Riyaadul Jannah area. At those times, there is a barrier erected to separate the brothers area, and over the tops of that you can see some of the chandeliers etc, but not much. Inshaa'Allah your mahram that goes with you will be able to see these things. The Riyaadul Jannah area is marked by a green carpet, whereas the carpet in the rest of the masjid is red. This green carpet extends from the mimbar of the Prophet :saws: to the grave area, where his :saws: house was, as per the hadeeth mentioned here:

http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1555125

You can see the green carpet here, which starts from the site of the Prophet :saws:'s mimbar :

Panaromic View of Masjidul Haraam | Ramadhan 1433 / 2012.

May 2011.

Is that definitely May?

It looks more like a Salaatul Eid or Ramadan pic, or Hajj time maybe, as the roof and streets aren't usually full like that otherwise, but none of those were in May. Allahu a3lam. Nice pic nonetheless.

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad :saws:], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do. (2:144)

Feel Like Crying When Seeing The People Easily Kiss Hajre Aswad And When The Green Carpet [Rawdah] Is Taken Up By Only A Handful Of People

You can tell on the coverage when the sisters salaam times are, as the green carpet area on the men's side is much smaller, and there is the white barrier with the black pattern erected.

Sister's phones get taken at the entrance, put into safe storage, and returned on exit. Many brothers have phones on them though. The other day, one man was posing right in front of the rowdah while another took a picture of him, and one time there were about five people all holding up their mobile phones, taking pictures of the rowdah. One person's camera had a flash, and the light kept reflecting and flashing off the rowdah doors. Just seemed inappropriate. And this was all right in front of the guards, who didn't look bothered by it.

Today the Madinah channel from the Saudi government website was running behind time. I didn't realise until Maghrib was long finished in Makkah, while there was bright afternoon sunshine in Madinah. It was running at least half an hour behind, when I checked it with the youtube Madinah channel, where Maghrib had also long finished and the sky was becoming black.

Welcome back sis al Amaanah, nice to see you active again and :jz: for participating in the thread.

Both of them are from the old part of Masjid An-Nabawi, near the Rawdhah. Those tube lights are connected between the columns.

The chandelier, if I remember correctly, is at the back side of the Rawdhah, near the Tahajjud pillar.

And There Was Me Waiting Anxiously For Some New Pictures Like The Above! Amazing As Usual ! I Dont Get Much Time To Watch Live Salaah At The Moment So I Cant Take The Amazing Images You've Been Taking. Is This From The VLC Recorder Or Normal Screenshots?

I Just Tuned In Now On Makkah Live. Its 3 Minutes Behind According To The Time On The Digital Clocks Outside Masjid Haram. I Love The Recitation By Sheikh Abdullah Khayaath. Yesterday They Quickly Showed The Roads In Makkah Round About This Time I Think It Was And Changed It. Them Underground Tunnels I Think It Was.

First Time I Seen The Red chandeliers Above.

The Picture Of The Quran Above On The Chair Just Reminds Me Of All The Things I Seen. We, From The Backgrounds We Come From Would Find That Disrespectful But Over There People From Different Backgrounds Come And You See All Sorts.

Sister's phones get taken at the entrance, put into safe storage, and returned on exit.

When did that used to happen? I've never seen it happen recently. Anyhow:
The female officials at Masjidun Nabawiyy :saws1: confirmed it with a Sister I know in Madeenah Munawwaraah last week that the rules have changed for women. Phones with camera's are now allowed into the Masjid.

First Time I Seen The Red chandeliers Above.

Those chandeliers are my favourite. I've seen them a couple of times. So unique. :ma:.

حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "صَلاَةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلاَةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ‏

A prayer in my mosque is a thousand times more excellent than a prayer in any other mosque, except Masjid al-Haram.

What did they exactly used to do?

As you enter the masjid, they'd ask if you have a mobile phone on you, or find them during the searches, then they'd direct you into a side office just inside the entrance. In the office there were female officials, a desk and chair, and rows of little lockers. They had a register, and they'd write the date and time, your name, make of phone, their name, and then a number, which would correspond to the number of the locker and the number of a ticket they'd give you, and they'd put the phone in the locker. Then you'd go into the masjid and then, on your way out, you'd pop into the office, give them the ticket, and they'd get your phone out of the locker and return it to you, and you'd sign for collection. Pretty organised, and they dealt with everyone reasonably quickly.

What are these red-roofed structures that run along the south of Masjid un Nabawi? They look like they're raised above ground level. Is it a covered shopping area?

They also showed a mosque near the South-Western corner of the courtyard boundary:

Here you can see one of it's domes and minarets in view to the left, with the Masjid un Nabawi courtyard in the middle and right:

Is it a covered shopping area?

That's what I've always assumed u5tee. We were actually gonna' go once and have a look, but then who even feels like going anywhere but the 7aram once your there... Ya Allah Ad3uunee ilaa 7aramik al Mubaarak wa Makaanik al Kareeeeem! <3 Aameen ya rab.

Nice to see they are putting arch designs as though part of the masjid walls, on some of the hoarding to make it look prettier while the work is being carried out (seen on the left of the first pic):

The view from just above the top of one of the minarets (in view), of people on the roof gazing over the tops of the ground floor domes:

The Meezaab, or water spout of the ka'bah, which is on the hateem/hijr side:

Tawaaf today after Salaatul 'Ishaa':

[Insaanah]

Today they showed the ka'bah kiswah embroidery the closest they've showed in a while. This is the side they showed, which is the side before the door side as you go around in tawaaf:

The passage above is the first passage in this post, Surah Aal Imraan, 3:95-97:

Complete top band of the side shown in this post:

http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1555736

Panels beneath the top band:

That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts. (Surah al-Hajj 22:32)

But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance. (Surah Taha 20:82)

Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyoom in the design after the ayah.

Hajj 1433/2012

[Insaanah]

:sl:

:jz: khayr for the video on the previous page, and also :jz: for the amazing hajj pictures above.

Today they showed a close up of what I thought was the motif with Allah's name on the porticos:

until I realised it was the design they'd put on the hoarding:

They've copied the original as far as possible, to make it look nice while the work is being carried out.

Here you can see it on the left:

Here is that side when it was still in progress, it looks like they do it the way billboards are done with smaller pieces joined to compose the whole:

And some of it still in progress:

Original for comparison:

[Insaanah]

Same calligraphy as here, but at maghrib time:

With green dome in view:

Calligraphy above Baab us Salaam (I think that's the name of the door which is closest for giving salaam). It's right under the dome, and is the one that's busy at night:

The pillar on the left is obscuring the last words of the calligraphy on the left due to camera angle. Ayaat on the top:

O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak befitting words. He will amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly achieved a great achievement. (Surah al-Ahzaab, 33:70-71)

Below the ayah is the du3a for entering a masjid, one version of which is in the latter half of the below, taken from Hisnul Muslim:

http://www.makedua.com/display_dua.php?sectionid=13

اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ

O Allah forgive me my sins and open for me the doors of your Mercy (Sunan Ibn Majah, 1/128-129)

From afar (dome is right above):

[Insaanah]

Embroidered calligraphy on the ka'bah door cover. Unfortunately the top part was being faded in from another scene, which is why it looks different.

Though the calligraphy on this pic isn't that clear, I've used the help of other pics of the door cover from the net, as well as the pics earlier in the thread here, and the calligraphy is as follows:

Starting from the top and working down:
اللهُ رَبِّي in the circles in the top corners
حَسْبِيَ الله in the circle top middle.

Calligraphy in the top row two capsule shapes, one either side of hasbi Allah, half the passage in each shape:

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. (2:144, part)

Row below, preceded by bismillah:

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous. (3:133)

The row below is four identical lantern shapes, each containing:

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. (24:35, part)

Below this are four horizontal capsules, top and bottom to the left and right of some larger calligraphy. The capsule shapes contain Ayatul Kursi (2:255) divided between them as follows, plus the first words of the following ayah:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ
لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَـوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الاٌّرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا
خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَآءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَـوَاتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ
ولاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِىُّ الْعَظِيمُ لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ


Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. (2:255 and part of 256)

The row below has the largest calligraphy on the door cover:

Indeed Allah has fulfilled the vision for His messenger in truth. You will surely enter al-Masjid al-Haram, if Allah wills, in safety - (48:27, part)

Ayah around where the cover splits (starts bottom to top on the right hand side of the split, and continues top to bottom on the left hand side)

Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (39:53)

In view here.

Either side of the split are two large circles of calligraphy, each with Bismillahi ar-Rahmaani ar-Raheem in the centre:

Right hand side circle = Surah al Ikhlaas

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ - اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ -
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ - وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, He on Whom all depend.
He begets not, nor was He begotten
And there is none like unto Him. (112)

Circle on left hand side:

Muhammad :saws: is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer]. (48:29, part)

There are three rows below this. First row:
Right hand side: لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ المَلِكُ الحَقُّ المُبِين
Left hand side: مُحَمَّد رَسُولُُ اللهِ صَادِقُ الوَعْدِ الأَمِين

Divided into four equal portions in the two rows below that, is Surah al Quraysh:
لإِيلَـفِ قُرَيْشٍ
إِيلَـفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَالصَّيْفِ
فَلْيَعْبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَـذَا الْبَيْتِ
الَّذِى أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خوْفٍ

For the accustomed security of the Quraysh -
Their accustomed security [in] the caravan of winter and summer -
Let them worship the Lord of this House,
Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear.(106)

Running along both long edges of the door covering, and the bottom, is Surah al-Fatihah, with an ayah or part of ayah per capsular shape, and Allahu Rabbee in the circles.

So the next row is إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ (on the right hand side) and وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ (on the left hand side), with Hasbi Allah in the two circles between them, adjacent to the split.

And finally right at the bottom, in Arabic:

Suni3at haadhihi al-sitaaratu fee Makkatal Mukarramata, wa ahdaahaa ilal Ka3batil Musharrafati khaadimul haramain ash-shareefain Abdullah bin Abdul Azeez aal Saud taqabbalallahu minhu.

This covering was made in Makkatal Mukarramah, and gifted to the Ka'bah al Musharrafah by the custodian of the two Holy Mosques, Abdullah bin Abdul Azeez Aal Saud, may Allah accept from him.

This is also written on the sub-panel on the door side of the kiswah, below the top band.

We had the close up of the interior of the Baab al Fahd domes in post 80. This post has close ups of the design of the arches in the Baab al Fahd area, starting close and zooming out:

[Insaanah]

Calligraphy on the sub-panels below the main band, on the hateem/hijr/meezaab side of the ka'bah cover:

Right hand side:

Announce, (O Muhammad :saws:) unto My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful.

Left hand side:

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad :saws:], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. (2:186, part)

in the motif in the middle.

The side opposite the door (after the hateem side as you go round in tawaaf), on the left in the pic below:

Right hand side sub-panel (the only one visible on that side), here to the left of the pic:

And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty. (33:47)

Yaa Rahmaan, Ya Raheem written in the motif before it.

Not shown is the panel further along, on the left hand side. That contains the following ayah:

If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:110)

On the corner where the two sides join, written in a circle within a square motif:

Surah al-Ikhlaas, with bismillaahirrahmaanirraheem in the centre.

[Shaykha]

:salamext:
:arabic6:

"Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer)." [Surah Al-baqarah]

[Insaanah]

Is the triangular structure with the round calligraphy still on the top of old mihraab? I'm not sure if they show that part in the coverage.

It is, they showed it the other day, though obscured a bit by the chandeliers.

This link has a clearer picture.

The writing is from Surah Aal-'Imraan 3:37 (in red):

فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا قَالَ يمَرْيَمُ أَنَّى لَكِ هَـذَا قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ إنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

So her Lord accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariya. Every time Zakariya entered Al-Mihrab to (visit) her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allah." Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."

The calligraphy around the Prophets :saws: mihraab:

Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace. (33:56)

Befittingly, straight after this ayah is salawaat on the Prophet :saws:

On the right hand side is the following verse from Surah al-Baqarah:

قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَآءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. (2:144, part)

Running from left to right and across the inside as shown in this post Haramain pictures (second pic from bottom), and also in the pic below, is this ayah from Surah al-Tawbah:

[Such believers are] the repentant, the worshippers, the praisers [of Allah], the travelers [for His cause], those who bow and prostrate [in prayer], those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and those who observe the limits [set by] Allah. And give good tidings to the believers. (9:112)

There's a clearer image on this page (click on the pic to zoom in), which shows that beneath the bottom band of calligraphy are two panels, one on each side (also just visible in the pic above). The one on the right says, :saws: هذا مصلى رسول الله, and the one on the left says, qaala an-nabiyyu alayhi assalaam, as-salaatu imaad ud- deen الصلاة عماد الدين

[A-Brother]

Thats Amazing !

[Insaanah]

I've edited my post above (post 87) and added the second picture of the pyramidal top of the old mihraab, shown from the other side, in which the ayah is clearer, and you can see on the right, the left hand side of the current mihraab.

Also, added two more pictures of the Prophets :saws: mihraab, views from the right hand side.

Allah's name around Masjid un Nabawi (some of the pics have been shown in previous posts):

The last pic above visible here (Haramain pictures)

Madinah Al-Munawwarah in 1917

Source: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...count=1&ref=nf

[AabiruSabeel]

The area marked 'B' is the Thaniyyatil Wada', the hill on which the Ansar were waiting to welcome the Prophet :saws: on his migration to Madinah Al-Munawwarah. It may come in the new expansion of Masjid An-Nabawi.

Al Madinah, before Islam was a tiny town with full of date gardens and marshlands. As it was flat ground, nearest highest point was "Thaniyyatil-Wada". Acording to custom of Madinah people; if anyone they knew had to leave the town. His relatives and friends would climb up to Thaniyyatil-Wada and wave at them until they would disappear in horizon. So that was actually a farewell hill.

As it is known by most; when Rasullallah decided to move from Makkah to Al Madinah. The news was already spread among Ansar. They were very happy and also very impatient for Him to arrive to their city. Because of that some group of Ansar everyday were climbing up to the Thaniyyatil-Wada and patiently waiting for Rasullalah to appear in horizon. Eventually when the time arrived group of Ansar saw Him and His companion at top of Thaniyyatil-Wada. With tremendous joy they have started to sing The Islam's very first Nasheed " Tala'al Badru 'alayna " They were somehow spontaneous words came out of their mouth with extreme joy they were feeling.

(however lyrics of " Tala'al Badru 'alayna " was never forgotten the compasition was lost after some years of Hijrah. It was Hammamizade İsmail Dede Efendi -Turkish composer of Ottoman Sultan- who has seen this nasheed in his dream and rewrote the notes of original nasheed.)

When you compare it with the pictures in the first post in the thread (hajj last year) you can really see how much work is going on there.

The ka'bah door cover was removed yesterday in preparation for the change of cover today. Masjidul haram still very busy with the locals and other nationals performing tawaf or umrah.

Yawm Arafah today:

People organising themselves into rows for prayer. The picture directly below is the same place as the one directly above. There can't be any other place in the world where 3 million people organise themselves into neat straight rows in a matter of seconds!

[Insaanah]

From Masjid Nabawi, Madinah:

The visible calligraphy running along the top green band is from Surah Ale-Imraan.

O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed. (3:43-44)

The visible calligraphy running along the bottom green band, is:

There is not upon the blind any guilt or upon the lame any guilt or upon the ill any guilt [for remaining behind]. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger - He will admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow; but whoever turns away - He will punish him with a painful punishment.
Certainly was Allah pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you, [O Muhammad], under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them and rewarded them with an imminent conquest. (Surah al-Fat'h, 48:17-18)

More pictures from Masjid un Nabawi in Madinah al Munawarrah

This is the first red panel before the red panels with the various names, titles and descriptions of the Prophet :saws: which go around the middle of the mihraab wall:

It translates, "These are the names of the Prophet :saws:"

This is Baab us Salaam, and you can see that panel here, on the other side of the door, the long one by the clock:

A couple more of those red panels here:

Close up and then zooming out of the sliding roof domes:

Zooming in to the end arch, nice camerawork:

and nice camerawork here too:

(should have taken the above one, i.e the blend with the mihraab, a second later for a better pic)

and nice camerawork here too:

The muaddhins in rukoo:

The top of the small lamps hanging from the side of the big ones:

Overcast/cloudy scene in Madinah:

They've been showing the sky and the rain a lot too. A sunnier scene here:

The tops of the old minarets visible from behind the umbrellas:

Worshippers pouring in to the masjid:

The below four pictures are from a different angle from that shown in this post:

Cleaners cleaning the metal grills/mesh of the raudah:

Not sure whereabouts the above sign is, but it seems to be advertising an exhibition of the Beautiful Names of Allah :swt:.

[Insaanah]

Some Maghrib time scenes from Masjid un Nabawi, Madinah al Munawwarah, with lovely sky colour, and lights shining:

Inner points of the umbrellas:

Umbrella pattern also shown here: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1557036

The muaddhins in rukoo':

Pattern of the metalwork of the raudha from the ladies side:

A close view of the red circle with Muhammadun Rasoolullah written in it, on the left hand side of the mihraab:

On the right hand side of the old mihraab:

The very top part of the mimbar in Masjid un Nabawi, and some ceiling designs in that area:

If you look at the brass bit at the left hand side of the picture above, you can see the reflection of the mus'hafs in it.

Zooming in of one of the minarets (they were actually panning out from close, but I put them in reverse order as I think it has more impact that way):

This is the inside of the dome which is to the left of the one they usually show above the raudah:

The panel on the left hand side of the old mihraab was shown in post 129 here: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1606272.
This is the panel on the right hand side of the old mihraab. It says, This is the Musalla of Rasoolullah :saws:

The inside left hand side:

Why don't we post 1 link to image albums from the image host? Instead of posting pictures one by one, which makes scrolling while loading a terrible experience. Just an idea...

[Insaanah]

:salam:

:jz: for the suggestion. Yes they do take a while to load - I often find I have to start scrolling after they're loaded. I haven't done albums before but will try them :ia: if others agree it's better that way.

In the meantime, the below picture of the Rauda of the Prophet :saws: and the area directly above it, is composed from five screenshots.

Post 32 has similar separate pictures: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1556451

What is the best way to upload pictures on here?

They showed some amazing shots in the last one hour which I feel some have not been posted on here. Iv taken around 100 in just one hour or so and the way they were focussing and moving the camera around was quite awesome.

[Insaanah]

:salam:

I upload mine through photobucket, which does require you to register, but on tinypic you can upload without creating an account, straight from your computer, and it'll give you the link for the pic which you just copy and paste here :ia: . If you have pics on facebook, the facebook link for the pic usually works here too, if you insert the tags for pictures around it i.e.

Please do post the pictures, or at least a few of them, if you can.

Close up of the side pattern of the mimbar:

shown in post 59 from further away: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1561917 and the top part of the pattern in post 48: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1558453

love those sis... :jz: I just so love fractals :D

[A-Brother]

As Zak Advised, I Uploaded On Facebook So I Can Post Here.

Instead Of Individual Pictures, Thanks To The App I Can Post This:

These are almost a good selection of the ones i took today and yesterday which are in my screenshot folder. Insha'Allah, If i get time i will do the same with the leftovers which are in another folder on the phone Tomorrow

Pics from the broadcast of Salaatul Ishaa in Masjid ul Haraam yesterday Sun 27th July. Apologies for the quality.

Some from 29th night:

[Insaanah]

:ma: so many people doing tawaaf. Almost the entire masjid is doing tawaaf or sa'ee

[Insaanah]

For more detail on what the calligraphy on the ka'bah says, see here: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post1567117

The below picture is a close of up of the calligraphy on the lights/lanterns in this post: http://www.islamicboard.com/haramain...ml#post2831412

It's so crowded that some people don't have enough space to do rukoo and sujood properly:

[Insaanah]

Nice camera work showing Allah's name in Masjid ul Haraam:

A third plaque with the name of Allah off-screen to the left:

Here near the ceiling of the sa'ee area:

The Qur'anic calligraphy in the above picture is this ayah:

The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah , for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided. (Surat Tawbah, ayah 18)

:ma: the masjid is crowded:
