Say Bismillah
Bismillah wal Hamdulilah was Salatu was Salamu ^ala Rasoullah.
The Ummayad Mosque was built in the early 700s. It’s located in Damascus, Syria a charming city, but the mosque has a beauty all its own.
I felt so peaceful whenever I was inside this mosque. It has a “maqam” for Prophet Yahya right in the musalla part of the mosque. People gather around making du^a’, making dhikr, and reading Quran.
The mosque also has a courtyard in the middle where all the kids and birds seem to go. The birds dive and fly with the kids chasing them, the sun hits the tiles and marble just right all over, causing a scene that can make your heart smile.
