Whenever I visit ones I know who are here as pilgrims I usually ask if they have a room with a view and then 'impose' my presence to be able to take photos for you all!! Alhumdulillah the dear ones here at the moment are in this room overlooking the scenes you see. The last photo Dear Sister Saimah, if taken with a good SLR camera would be so beautiful...and a decent zoom lens...the rain on the marble was creating amazing reflections...I took many more shots but unfortunately they are not so good. Watching the rain around the lights was as if seeing golden flakes streaming into the lights...it was amazingly beautiful and so many were captivated by the rain and taking photos. The feeling was as if in a huge celebratory gathering...which it is when it rains here. Ameen thumma Ameen Dear Abu Ahamd, this Nur far outweighs all the glitter and shine of the nearby illusions of the gold souqs! May we all open our hearts for it to pour in ,Ameen.

SubhanAllah wonderful pictures! Abu Bakr Masjid looks so humble standing by itself, and the dome looks like a "topee" from the top, the pillar raised ONE finger giving the Shahada. SubhanAllah. As though this Masjid is humbly bowed in Allah's dhikr. Will you post pictures once renovation is completed? JazakAllahu khair, please remember us in your humble dua's and convey our Salaam to our beloved Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. Wasalaam. Assalam alaikum Dear Sister AlMiskeenah!
