  • What was once a Christian Church is now a Mosque. The Hagia Sophia (pronounced "hi-ya sofia") is a breathe of fresh air when it comes to architecture.

    Men don’t usually enter the women’s section in a mosque. It’s to preserve the women’s modesty when they prepare (fixing their scarves) for prayers or while they pray. The prayers involve prostrations that’s why women pray behind men, again to protect their modesty.

    لو شاهدنا في كل الديانات في العالم
    نجد أن أساس التطهير هوا الماء
    نحن المسلمين أكثر طهارة من الآخرين لأننا نتطهر خمس مرات في اليوم الواحد بالماء
    بينما الآخرين تجد أنهم يتطهرون بالماء في السنه مره أو في العمر مره واحده
