Mabrook on your new computer, I know how you feel because I just finished building my new machine last week :) Oh yes, before I forget I just wanted to say this to you. Your blog is a valued treasure chest to countless I'm sure, if not for the content of your writings then for the beautiful images of the city and mosque of our beloved salallahualaihiwasalam. When I first came across your blog I remember wondering to myself how someone could take out such precious time to put up such comprehensive posts from such a mubarik place... see I had thought you were visiting the Radiant City and hadn't realized that you were mashallah a resident of Madina. Since then though I look forward to your posts with the eager anticipation of seeing the heart softening images of where the best of all creation salallahualaihiwasalam called home. May Allah azawajal honour you and your family in all the worlds sisters. On another note, Jazakiallah Khair for the links, the reason I was asking was because one of my grandfathers brothers was involved in the planning of the extension. There was a dream the King had wherein he was given the names of 7 or 8 architects from around the world and was told to gather them all together to plan the extension, subhanallah! One of my aunts has the original blue prints... maybe if I can get a copy of them it could make for my first ever blog entry! :) Jazakiallah Khair sister!

I was sort of struck with “blog-fuzzy-wobbles” in the past day or so, thinking that maybe everyone has books or can obtain such information on line, and just what am I doing? But if only one reader is benefiting then Insha’Allah there is Khair in it. I can pour over books again and again about the Haramain and our glorious Deen and never be bored, but that is not everyone’s passion, so at times I am faced with the dilemma of what and how much to blog about…anyway….may Allah Ta’ala guide us all to that which win His favours at the time when we need them the most. Since the last post I have been blessed with a new computer…so many this and that rams and gigas and duel whatzit and a HUGE LCD screen, SubhanAllah, AsShukriLlah!! Alf Alf AsShukriLlah! This tiny mind of a speck attempting to adapt. The last thing I tried to do before all the transferring of files was to add to brother Ikramuddins comment, but the spaminator keep attacking! So I will re-try again. Meant to say too brother Ikramuddin that the Madinah Research and Studies Centre that I have referred to previously would more than likely know this sort of information, but their contact via their website has been down for weeks, and only yesterday in AlWatan, a daily Arabic newspaper was an article describing how they have shut down for the moment due to some internal problems! If you read Arabic you could read the article www(dot)alwatan(dot)com(dot)sa (Wed 7th March) and here are some of the publications from MRSC, but once again in Arabic http://www(dot)al-madinah(dot)org/magazine/arabic/mozala.php There is also this site, but they do not reveal much http(colonslashslash)saudinf(dot)com/main/b723(dot)htm Hope you can follow these addresses, have to do it like that otherwise the "spaminator" (I still don't get this) does not allow me to post URL's…uummmm Wassalamu alaikum Dear brother Irving, Alhumdulillah that this post, and maybe the intention to continue with more of the same, covering other salient aspects of Masjid Nabawi, is appreciated.

The expansion contract at the time was given to the Bin Ladin company, who used expertise from all over the world, as they continue to do so. Some names have been mentioned , but I will look further regarding the architect/s. SubhanAllah nq, how Masjid Nabawi shines as a diamond way into space, but more importantly, regardless of how the exterior may appear, is how it and its significance and its most noble residents, our Prophet SallAllahu alahi wassalam and his two devoted Sahabah RadhiAllau anhuma, shine in our hearts. The sacredness of the boundaries of Madinah and the position of the Malaaikah by Allah Ta'ala as promised, seem to enhance the "purity" of this tiny chosen space on the planet, SubhanAllah!

Rasulullah Salla Allah alaihi wasallam said about Dajjal that when he arrives to Madina, he will stand on Mount Habshi andrefer to the Prophet's Mosque as the "white Palace of Muhammad". 1400 years ago, the mosque was not white. Until about 50 years ago, the mosque was not white. Now it is. The construction of the Prophet’s Mosque is one of the miracles of Rasulullah Salla Allah alaihi wasallam.
