There shall be no compulsion in religion. Quran 2:236 "The Cow" Dawood p.41

There shall be no compulsion in religion. Quran 2:236; "The Cow," Dawood, p. 41

http://images.wikia.com/yenisehir/tr/images/c/c3/Quran_cover.jpg

The righteous shall return to a blessed retreat: the gardens of Eden, whose gates shall open wide to receive them. Reclining there with bashful virgins for companions, they will call for abundant fruit and drink.
Quran 38:51-2, "Sad," Dawood, p. 455

God has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of God, they will slay, and be slain. Such is the true promise which
He has made them in the Torah, the Gospel and the Koran....
Quran 9:111, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 203

As for the righteous, they shall be lodged in peace together amid gardens and fountains, arrayed in rick
silks and fine brocade. Even thus; and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris.
Quran 44:51-54, "Smoke," Dawood, p. 497

I dedicate this blogspot to all Muslim brothers around the world. Thanks. Oyesan Dino Magkasi

Peace and Love to Everyone!!!

MECCA, A Sacred Place of Worship

A mosque is the building in which Muslims worship God. Throughout Islamic history, the mosque was the centre of the community and towns formed around this pivotal building. Nowadays, especially in Muslim countries mosques are found on nearly every street corner, making it a simple matter for Muslims to attend the five daily prayers. In the West mosques are integral parts of Islamic centers that also contain teaching and community facilities. Mosques come in all shapes and sizes; they differ from region to region based on the density of the Muslim population in a certain area. Muslims in the past and even today have made use of local artisans and architects to create beautiful, magnificent mosques. There are however, certain features that are common to all mosques. Every mosque has a mihrab, a niche in the wall that indicates the direction of Mecca; the direction towards which Muslims pray. Most mosques have a minbar (or pulpit) from which an Islamic scholar is able to deliver a sermon or speech.Other common features include, minarets, tall towers used to call the congregation to prayer. Minarets are highly visible and are closely identified with mosques. Normally there is a large rectangular or square prayer area. It often takes the form of a flat roof supported by columns or a system of horizontal beams supported by architraves. In other common mosque designs, the roof consists of a single large dome on pendentives. There are usually separate prayer areas, with separate entrances for both men and women. http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/2748/
