This is a thread for people of all different religions where we can share images of our Holy Places, eg. Mosques, Churches and Temples, in the spirit of interfaith relations.

Blessed, blessed is that tongue, O my soul, which sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord God.
Sublime, pure and pious is that head, O my soul, which falls at the Lords Feet.
Nanak is a sacrifice to those, O my soul, who hear of the Lord, and believe in the Lord's Name.
"Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
Or did they create the heavens and the earth?
Nay, they have no firm belief.”
[Holy Qur'an: 52:35-36]
Any masjid to me is beautiful, but in my humble opinion nothing compares to the beauty of Masjid Al Haram in Makkah. And to see the House of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala built by Ibrahim alaihis salam is overwhelming for me. Just beyond words in terms of sheer beauty and inspiration.
‘How perfect You are O Allaah, and I praise You. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.’
Been to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul - very pretty place - not quite to the stature of the Hagia Sophia, though. I think Persian mosques are interesting and the Moroccan mosques aswell. In Poland, there are mosques built in the 16th century by the Muslim Tatars and they combine Baltic architecture with Middle Eastern and Byzantine exotica. I would love to go to Jerusalem, but what Christian, Jew or Muslim wouldn't.
just wanted to point out regarding what is said of description in bottom left corner of this pic
this is NOT masjid al Aqsa.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
