Pictures of Holy Places

[Supreme]

Thanks, I would love to see more of the mosques, synagogues and churches in Africa, Europe and Middle East. I'm sure their architecture must be awesome and distinct : )

Your wish is my command:statisfie
All of the following are beautiful examples from Cairo, in Egypt, Africa. The first, Al Hussein Mosque, is the holiest mosque in Cairo and contains the oldest Quran in the world:

The second, the Hanging Church, is one of the oldest churches in Cairo. It is the most symbollic building for Egypt's millions strong Coptic Christian community. I think I can see why.

Masjid Qiblatain, Madinah al-Monawwara, Saudi Arabia

This mosque has two qiblats which is the direction of prayer. one facing Mecca and another one facing Jerusalem. Nowadays, people hold their direction as earlier to Mecca not to Jerusalem anymore. Three years ago, when I visited the mosque, I just can see a qiblah there, maybe they had closed another qiblah because it's not functioning anymore.

Masjid Putra Complex, Putrajaya, Malaysia

This is the mosque in our settlements. I took Islamic classes in the mosque and they're free of charge. It is among the mosques that I love because I've got to learn Islamic knowledges from the place... We have several musallas too and I always trying to visit all of them. It's fun praying in different mosques and musalla, we also can learn many things from the talks held there.

Wait, the people of Mecca and Medina need mosques in addition to their huge Sacred mosques?
Interesting.

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.

A very nice ideea!

So many holy interesting places are in the world who must be seen...

Interesting.

This Aisha mosque is the place for making niyyah (intention) before wearing the non-stitches white robe for men and a meeqat (marker of time border) of niyyah before entering the holy city Mecca.

There are several places too for niyyah before entering the holy land. And the holy land can't be passed by anyone including Muslims like entering other states, and if I'm not mistaken, I had heard that Muslims in Saudi Arabia too need permission to enter the land. There are also several other do's and don'ts when we enter the holy land.

Candis are the ancient places of worship in ancient SEA and ancient India. Some Candis were actually dedicated to god-kings and monks where their cremeted ashes being kept under the gods statues or in a stupa like monument if the person cremated was a Buddhist.

Some brief account of history, the people in the city-state of Kedah (6th C-now) embraced Islam brought by a Yemeni Muslim missionary according to our local chronicles.

The first Sultan there who was previously a Hindu-Buddhist king had ordered the temples in his kingdom being destroyed after embracing Islam with a Muslim name and title Sultan Mozaffar Shah. He was then adopting Islam as the only religion of his country once he embraced Islam around 1136 AD and building a minaret for adzan on the mountain.
