The courtyard of the Umayyad Mosque at evening timeThe Umayyad mosque was built in 706 by the sixth Umayyad caliph, al-Walid. The mosque gave birth to a number of key elements in Muslim architecture such as the horseshoe arch and the square minaret. The mosque is one of the oldest and holiest shrines of Islam. One of the three minarets of the mosque is called the minaret of Jesus (as), as Islamic traditons say that he (as) would appear at that minaret on his return. The prayer hall contains the shrine of Yahya/John the Baptist (as), where his (as) head or maybe entire body is burried. Another part of the mosque contains the head of Zachariah, father of Yahya/John the Baptist (as).

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.
