...Summary Jama Masjid Allah Wali is an old multistory mosque situated in the busy area of Bohrapir. This mosque was constructed before the partition of sub-continent, in 1897 A.D. Its renovation began on 24th May 1968, when its foundation was laid by the then president of Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Pakistan, Alhaj Maulana Shah Abdul Hamid Qadri Badayuni. Its minor renovations was recently carried out in 2009. Allah Wali Masjid misses some major features and facilities which are found in a common mosque. The connections between spaces are not defined. Transition between spaces can become difficult. Its entrance gate doesn’t suffice for a small crowd to pass adequately. The ablution area of Allah Wali Masjid is situated outside the boundaries of the mosque, and has been designed poorly, with no considerations of users’ access and transition from the ablution space. Access to the upper levels of the mosque is not easy. There are issues with the steps, and the width of stairs. There are no facilities for the handicapped personnel, no ramp or special considerations for handicapped are available. The bathrooms are located right next to the mosque and are poorly oriented. There is no provision for Janaza, and namaz e janaza is offered on the road adjacent to the mosque. Introduction Mosque is a space where a connection between God and His creation is established. His creation visits this space five times a day, worshipping and offering prayers. Such a space, where a spiritual link...

...most important architectural monuments in the world. Even though two of the most historical mosques, Hagia Sophia and the Dome of the Rock, are built for different religions, but due to a sharing purpose, which being praying to God, the difference can barely be noticed. By sharing a purpose, both structures act as a shrine for different religions to reach God. Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. It was originally built in 360 AD and for more than a thousand years was a Christian church. The church was rebuilt in 532–537 during Emperor Justinian’s rule by architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus. Its interior was decorated with mosaics, marble columns and fresco paintings on the wall. The dome of Hagia Sophia is what fascinates architects, engineers and art historians the most. This particular design, pendentive—the triangular form providing the architectural transition between the circular and square shapes 1 . Just below the dome, 40 windows were placed letting light in and shine on the mosaics. The pendentives and the windows created an illusion of the dome floating above the wall. In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks. Shortly after, Sultan Mehmet II ordered the church to be converted into a mosque. In the years to follow, the interior and the exterior of the mosque began to change. Due to the Islamic customs, all the mosaic figures and paintings on the...

...Rawson World Literature Assignment 1 An analysis of the role of minor characters in The Visit and Chronicle of a Death Foretold in establishing a collectivistic or individualistic society. March 13, 2011 Word Count: 1073 Rawson 1 Without any characters; there is no story. Every tale needs a knight in shining armor to save the endangered princess or a misguided hero to meet a tragic end. A protagonist and an antagonist are the most basic of writing conventions and are crucial to the story. It is important; however, to not overlook the roles of minor characters in the plot. For example, Snow White would have been a radically different story without the seven dwarves. This exemplifies how minor characters can drastically influence the outcome of a story in a number of ways. In both Durrenmatt’s The Visit and Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the minor characters have an influential role in determining the fate of the protagonist. These minor characters are used by Durrenmatt and Marquez to establish an individualistic or collectivistic society within their works and by doing so isolate the protagonists and lead them to their deaths. In a collectivistic society, the people tend to view themselves as part of a group and hold the needs of the group over that of the individual. This is the society which Durrenmatt has presented in The Visit. In Durrenmatt’s The Visit, the town of Guellen is populated by minor characters lacking any names. Throughout the play...

...Persian Ornamentation in Contrast to Ottoman Engineering Although Persian masjids predate the Sinan mosques of the Ottoman Empire by nearly half a millennia, the two styles both incorporate the similar elements of the mosque: a courtyard leading to the prayer hall, a qibla wall against which the mihrab and minbar lay, the incorporation of a dome or several domes, and sacred Islamic geometry that dictates decoration of the mosque. Aside from these basic elements, the mosques of Persia differ greatly in overall shape and ornamentation from those of the Ottoman period, however neither style could be called less sophisticated than the other. Both techniques can be appreciated equally in terms of the architectural genius and amount of meticulous care that went into...

...Security Objective Components STEPHANIE CASBY CJS 250 October 30th, 2011 Jenelle Velarde Security Objective Components Have you ever been to church and thought you had to worry about your safety? I know for myself that is one place besides my home that I have always felt safe. People in church attend with little thought given to their safety while they are there. Church is supposed to be a place of peace and serenity, not violence or death. In the last 50 years churches and other religious sites around the world has been victim’s to violent acts of crimes. There are several reasons for this type of crime in these religious places of worship; differences in religious beliefs, domestic disturbances, and racism are number one reason for these acts. In the last ten to fifteen years there has been an increase in violent crimes reported in churches, schools, and malls that seemed to be the target. In this paper I will discuss what component of the overall security objective deserves the most attention in the environments from the article. I will also discuss what components would be less pertinent for the environments during a vulnerability assessment. I will describe counter measures or possible solutions for the shootings, incidences of arson and bombing. Then I will discuss the components of the overall security objective that would be ore pertinent had the events occurred at the mall and if they would present alternative countermeasures that I will list and explain...

...Protestant Church: Government Street Presbyterian Church I attended the Government Street Presbyterian Church on October 14, 2012 at 11:00am. I went to the service with Renee Cherry. I was a bit nervous as we had initially gotten lost trying to find the church. Also, finding parking in downtown Mobile was extremely difficult. Standing outside of the chuch, I was nervous because we were five minutes late, and I wasn’t sure how they would respond to our tardiness. Walking into the church, I felt very uncomfortable as I felt extremely underdressed. We sat down at the back of the church. The service was very interesting. At first, it was a little bit difficult to follow along, but it became easier as the service went along. The service itself was similar to that of the Catholic church which I somewhat didn’t expect. The service had two readings and a sermon similar to that of the Catholic service. Personally, for me, it was a bit difficult understanding the sermon as the Pastor spoke extremely fast. What I found interesting was that women freely participated in the church. There was a female pastor that led some of the prayers. I met the pastor after the sermon. He was very nice and welcoming. All in all, I enjoyed the service, as I’ve never been to a Presbyterian church before. Catholic Church: St. Joseph’s Chapel I attended St. Joseph’s Chapel on September 30th 2012 at 11:00am. I went to the service with my roommate, Rebecca Perera. I was extremely comfortable attending...

...are called as Hindu. Muslims do their worships in a building called as Mosque and another name of Mosque is Masjid came from original Arabic. Hindus do their worships in a building called as Temple and another name came from original Sanskrit is Mandir. Introduction to Place of Worship The Mosque is the house of God, which is spiritual center of worship for Muslim community and considered as the principal point for the activities of Islam. Mosque merits to be treated with due respect and reverence. There is a place outside every mosque or just inside the entrance, where people have to remove and leave their shoes. The worship place of Hindus is known as Mandir or Temple, which is devoted to particular god or goddess (idol). The Hindus considered Mandir as home of god on earth. The inner shrine, which is called as Garbhargriha, where statue of god or goddess situated considered as the most holy part in the whole Mandir. Comparison between Mosque and Mandir The main hall of Mosque is a plain room largely empty of furniture. There no any kind of statue or picture in the Mosque because Muslims believe that these are irreligious, and there is no image of God, Who is Wholly Spirit called Noor. Muslims believe that everywhere in the Mosque, every person has equal status at all, no one is superior to other or no one is inferior to other at least inside the area of Mosque. Every person sits on the floor in Mosque. There is a place in one of the walls inside the main hall, which Muslims...

With a joyful smile on my face. I finally reached the treasured city of Turkey, Istanbul. I could feel the warm wind welcoming me as I walked down the crowded road full of colours and liveliness of people. I could hear the music being played everywhere, the sun was shining brightly in the light blue sky above me. I could see the humongous mountains in the background looking down at the city from afar. There was no words to describe the scenery. The pattered blue and gold mosques towered high above me and made me feel very insignificant. The sound of the prayers from the mosque echoed through the city cleansing it with peace and warmth. I made my way closer to the mosque. It...

...A night at the University by, Noor Ashiqin bt Jusoff Albar Qurratu’aini bt Noorzam Khoo Chui Choo Effarizan Hassan Prologue: The sudden sounds of breaking twigs on the ground made the three friends shiver in fear. It has never crossed their minds that they would end up getting stuck alone in their University at that time of hour. Ironically, they used to stay in the abandoned hostel not far away from where they are and be roaming the grounds as though they lived the land for generations long. “Of all days” Muffy puffed “your car just HAD to break down today.” The loudest of the group complained. The chatterbox felt a jolt to her heart when she saw a moving figure walking straight down their direction. A human like figure, darkened by the night, walked slowly and swayed step by step closer to them. “Muffy…,” Ezan trembled in the small voice, tugging Muffy’s shirt signalling her to be cautious. “Guys, maybe we should turn back,” Que said alarmingly at the sight of the silhouette. The three friends stopped in their steps, allowing the cold damp night air to sweep across their cheeks. Their hearts pounded like the stomping of horse hooves during a race. Their fingers cold as ice and faces white as sheet making neither of them bolder than the other. “ARE YOU ALSO LOST?!” Muffy exclaimed. Que and Ezan jumped at the sound of her shout. “Muffy! Are you insane?” Que said alarmed. “You can’t just say anything to it!” Ezan said terrified. “You will...
