Thanks for sharing these images to stir the heart and remind of us of Allah's greatness. It's most important to keep Allah (SWT) in our hearts but to see such indications of how he touches us in everyday ways is a good reminder that he is everywhere.

Great job Coconut... keep em coming!!

Being in makkah is absolutely amazing...its breath taking can't put it into words!.....and seeing all these images u posted well it really was great
may allah bless you for sharing these with us!

Y2nad

Very humbling. Excellent post. If anyone has more pictures of the area of Zam Zam, please post.

One question though, I was under the impression that Muslims are not supposed to have marked graves, do we have different rules for Prophets? Ibrahim A.S.'s grave is marked and has a headstone, was he not mortal like the rest of us?

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/zamzam.jpg

Zamzam - this water, which sprang forth miraculously under Ishmael’s (PBUH) tiny feet, is now enclosed in a marble chamber in the Ka’bah.

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/safamarwa.jpg

The sa’y (or “running”) commemorates Hagar’s (PBUH) search for water to quench Ishmael’s (PBUH) thirst. She ran back and forth seven times between two rocky hillocks, al-Safa and al-Marwah and found the sacred water known as Zamzam. The area has been developed into a covered portico and even has narrow passageways set aside for those in wheelchairs.

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/carry.jpg

The elderly and infirm are carried around the Ka’bah.

I am going to share some mosques this time. Its always amazing to see different types of architecture ranging from culture to culture.

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/malaysia.jpg

Kapitan Keling Mosque, located in Melaka, Malaysia.

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/chinam.gif

Nin Jie Mosque, Beijing, China. Made in 1362 and renovated in 1978.

http://www.gupistan.com/gallery/4/Turkeybursa.jpg

Located in Bursa, Turkey..an interior view. I really liked the Wudu tank.

Qrius, amazing pictures, thanks for helping out. I want to keep this thread alive for as long as possible. Hopefully, other souls like yourself who have interest in this will post pictures as well.

On another note, if you like the wudu tank in Bursa Turkey. Wait'll you see the wudu area of Makkah and its FREEZING in there regardless of the immense heat on the outside. I'm trying to find a picture of that to post.

The only problem is I wish the Administration of Gupshup would make the picture upload limit to 100Kb instead of 75kb otherwise I'd post a few more pictures in their original quality rather than dulling them down or minimizing them.
