Masjid al Nabawi in daylightThe Mosque of the Prophet (Masjid al Nabawi) is the second holiest mosque, after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. It is the second mosque to be founded by the Prophet Muhammed (saws), the first was Masjid Al-Quba. It was originally built by the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) and his companions and has later been extended several times by his followers.

The Mosque of the Prophet (pbuh) became his resting place after his death. The last Prophet's (pbuh) resting place is beneath the green dome. The first caliph, hadrath Abu Bakr Siddiq (ra), and the second caliph, hadrath Umar ibn Al Khattab (ra) are both also resting here. It contains a fourth grave as well, which is reserved for hadrat Isa / Jesus (as), when his time is up after his return to the earth.

The Prophet's (pbuh) lived where the dome is today after the Hijrah. The Rawdah - the area between his house and the original mihrab is a part of Jannah - paradise, according to a saying (hadith) of the Prophet (pbuh). He said: "What is between my house and my minbar is a garden from the gardens of Paradise". It is extremely crowded here - often hours before the prayer time, as it is every worshipper's desire to pray here. The area holds only a few hundered worshippers - maybe up to a thousand.

The part of the mosque which currently surrounds the green dome has been expanded several times during different times. It therefore contains architecture of different styles. The other parts are of newer extensions, and they look quite similar.

The rock inside the Dome of the RockThis picture shows the actual rock which the mosque the Dome of the Rock is build around. There is no place for prayers just beneath the dome of this mosque, as the rock surfaces the area. The structure at the left is built upon the area of the rock where the Prophet (saws) put his foot on, to climb the animal "Buraq".

Worshippers doing tawaf around the Ka'ba and praying inside the Hateem areaThe hateem is a part of the Ka'ba, the walls of the Ka'ba used to be where the walls of the Hateem is now.

The first man on earth - Prophet Adam (as) - first built the Kaaba. He (as) was told by Allah to build it "benath" Allah's throne, i.e. the throne of Allah is "above" the Kaba. However, the throne is symbolic in its nature as Allah is not a physical being that needs to rule from a throne. During time, the Kaba was destroyed and it was later re-built by the Prophets Ibrahim (as) and his son Ismail (as).

Before the time of prophet Muhammad (pbuh), pagans worshipped at Kaaba, as they used to have their idol gods within the Kaba) until prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his followers conquested Makkah in a peaceful manner without any blood shed. Since then it has since been a place of worship for Muslims.

Muslims from all over the world face the Kaba when they pray their five daily prayers. Also, many travel to Makkah for the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) or the Hajj (annual pilgrimage). The Hajj is compulsory on every Muslim to do once in their lifetime, if he or she have the financial and medical means for it. One of the rites of the pilgrimage is tawaf - to circumambulate the Kaba counter clock wise. One tawaf is 7 rounds, and is one of the two main rituals of the Umrah

The apartheid wallHere the wall divided a main road. It is no longer possible to drive forward, one must take a left or right turn (seeing from the photographer's perspective). People wanting to go from this side to the other side must now travel 1-2 hours. Palestinians live on both sides of the wall.


The so called "security fence", which is mostly a 9 meter tall concrete wall. The wall often seperates Palestinans from Palestinians.

Interior of Masjid al NabawiOne such dome weight 80 tons. There are 24 of them, and they can slide open individually or all at once. When they open, they hardly make a sound! The insides of the domes are decorated wood. They also provide shade for the worshippers who are on the roof, when they are open.

Ruins of the city Medinat az ZahraAbd al-Rahman III, one of the most powerful rulers of Moorish Spain, ordered the building of this city in 929. When finished, it was the largest city to be built from scratch in Western Europe. It consisted of 400 houses, 300 baths, a mosque, zoo, fortress and luxurous gardens. This magnificent city was left in ruins after approx 80 years, by the Almoravids. The ruins only cover 10% of the original city's extention. The city was named after Abd al-Rahman's favourite wife, some even say it was a gift to her. The city is situated approx 5 km from Cordoba.

The church of Annunciation / The Basilica of the AnnunciationThe catholic one.

Annunciation is the location where Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a virgin, was visited by the Archangel Gabriel and told that she had been selected to be the mother of Jesus. The Greek Orthodox tradition holds that this event occurred while Mary was drawing water from the well in Nazareth, and erected St. Gabriel's Church at that alternate site.

The men's entrance to the shrine of Sayyida Zaynab RA in DamascusSayyida Zaynab RA was one of the blessed grandchildren of the Prophet SAWS. She was born and raised in the streets of the blessed Madina in the presence of the Prophet SAWS. Sayyida Zaynab RA was the daughter of the Lion of Allah, Hadrat Ali RA, and the leader of all woman, Sayyidinatuna Fatima RA. And the sister of Imam al-Hassan and al-Hussein RA whom she grew very close to, after the demise of her mother as a seven year old girl.

Sayyida Zainab was one of the most courageous woman of her time. She was captured in the battle of Karbala and brought to Damascus along with other prioners of war who survived though the extremely harsh circumstances. When her brother, Sayyidina Imam al-Hussein, and other relatives including her sons RA were martyred Sayyida Zeinab was one of the few survivers who cryingly were collecting the bodies of the Shuhada Karbala (martyrs of Karbala).

In Damascus she was later on freed from Yazid and allowed to return to Madina. Later on Sayyida Zaynab again moved with her husband to Damascus, where she died. (Or she went to Cairo and died there (a shrine is built there as well), or she is burried in Madina - as there are different narrations and opinons).
