Ramadan Day 8 – The Green Dome
The Green Dome
“The Green Dome is memorable for most Muslims, because it lies directly above where the Prophet (PBUH) is buried. It is also centuries old. Although the Prophets mosque is a massive structure (photo coming later!) and despite it being updated by successive monarchs in Saudi Arabia, this particular dome and the green topped minaret to the left are instantly recognisable.In fact, there are many imitations of the style in other countries around the world”
Ramadan Day 7 – Door near the Prophets (PBUH) Grave
Baqee Gate close to where the Prophet is buried
If you want to listen to me speak about the door, click here
or you can read what I’m saying below
“The significance of this door, is that it is very close to where the Prophet is buried. In fact this door acts as the exit for people once they have paid their respects. Literally thousands of Muslims will pass through this door on a daily basis. It’s an opportunity for Muslims to realise that this very important person from history, was in fact very real and present, and His impact was enormous.”
Ramadan Day 6 – Doors of the Prophets Mosque
Quba Gate - Door no:5 - West side of the Prophets Mosque
If you want to hear me speak about this, click here.
or you can read what I say here:
“There are many doors around the mosque. This is the Quba gate. The large doors around the mosque are similar in design i.e. most of the doors have big arches, with striped bricks, supported by white pillars which are covered in gold coloured plates and ornaments. But although one could talk at length about the doors, it’s what these doors lead to, that really uplift the spirit.”
