Its name was Masjid-e-Zarar

The verse in question i.e., 110 verse of Surah-e-Tauba is about the the Mosque which was built by the leader of Hypocrites in Madina Abdullah bin Uba'i. Its name was Masjid-e-Zarar and it was demolished by Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) by the order of Allah Almighty. The preceding verses have the orders of not visiting, standing or praying in that Mosque. The translation of 110th verse goes like this;

"This building which they have chosen, will always keep pinching their hearts, lest their hearts are shattered, and verily Allah is All-knowing and Wise"

What are Islamic churches like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no such thing called 'church' in Islam.

If you were referring to the worshipping place of Muslims, it is typically called a "Mosque" in English. In Arabic, there are two names for such a structure: Jame'a (جامع) also Latinized in Turkish as Camii refers to a large Mosque and Masjid (مسجد) also Latinized in Turkish as Mescid which refers to a smaller community building. Muslims in the mosque; during praying; face the direction of Kaaba in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.

Mosques are generally large open rooms with designs on the walls and a curtain to separate the women (who pray in the rear) from the men (who pray towards the front). Unlike Christian churches, there are no pews and those who pray sit and prostrate themselves on the floor. Services are relatively quick (from a Christian perspective), with prayer lasting roughly 10-30 minutes at any given time with the exception of Friday afternoon prayers which may be longer.

Why was the al aqsa mosque built?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As any mosque, it was built for God (Allah in Arabic) worship. It was built on zero ground land where prophet Muhammad prayed there during his miraculous journey from Makkah (Mecca) to Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Answer2.

Al Aqsa is a mosque caliph Omar built in Jerusalem after conquering it in 638. Before that, there was not any mosque in Jerusalem- as there was not a single Muslim there. Omar needed some "legal ground" for declaring Jerusalem and Palestine, traditionally Jewish and Christian land, "the land of Islam", and in that time, when the people were extremely religious, the best proof was "the Divine Reason". So, Omar took a Kuranic sura( it was The Night Journey, extremely vague and unclear story about how muhammad, in his night dream, travelled from the "Sacred Mosque" to some "furthest mosque" on the back of some mysterious creature, half mule and half dragon, called AlBurak - and used it as a legal claim.

Glory be to He

Who carried His servant by night,

from the Holy Mosque

to the Furthest Mosque,

the precincts of which

We have blessed.

so that We might show him

some of Our signs.

Surely He is the All-Hearing,

the All-Seeing.

------------------Sura al-Isra'

------------------Qur'an 17:1

Find me a single word in this nonsense of the Night Journey that this "furthest mosque" was in Jerusalem. And of course anyone who would move such a " legal ground" as a night dream of someone flying on the back of a dragon as the legal claim on some territory would be just laughed over. However, there were over 30,000 horsemen behind Omar´s story, which made laughing over it somewhat risky. But Omar wanted to look not a savage and barbarian but a just and fair- although strict- ruler, and in order to look this he strived to make this insane story about flying dragons minimally credible. In that time people could believe whatever - but they could not believe the story about the mosque standing in Jerusalem if they saw with their own eyes that there was not any mosque . Omar was known for being a resolute man who took the decisions fast. There was not a single mosque in Jerusalem to support Omar´s claim? So, it must be built. And Omar in record time erected in Jerusalem, on the remnants of the Solomon Temple, a primitive wooden structure and said it was that same Al Aqsa - the Furthest mosque- of the Koran. Would you dare to call a liar someone by whose only word 30,000 horsemen would raise to the saddle?

In 685AD the Umayyad Khalif, 'Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, reconstructed AlAqsa. Now it was of stone, not of wood. Where was the stone taken from ? From the Christian Church of Our Lady. So, the muslim mosque was built of the stone of the Chrstian Church and built on the place of the Jewish Temple.

A wonderful proof to the frequently repeated by Muslims statement that "islam treats with respect all religions ".

How many mosques are there in Holland?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The exact number of Muslims is difficult to establish in however, as census figures are often questioned and many countries choose not to compile such information anyway. But the census says that 944000 Muslims currently live in Netherlands, which is 5.8% of the population.

Total population: 16.3 million

Muslim population: 945,000 or 5.8%

Background: The integration of Muslims remains a concern for the Dutch government, particularly after a film-maker critical of Islam was murdered in 2004 by a radical Islamist. Further tensions surround the view held by some that there is a high level of crime among Muslim youths and a problem with unemployment. In the 1950s Muslims arrived from the former colonies of Suriname and Indonesia. One of the most important groups is the substantial Somali minority. Others are from Turkey and Morocco. The Netherlands favours multiculturalism, essentially the accommodation of different groups on equal terms.

Sources: Total population - Statistics Netherlands, 2005 figures; Muslim population - Statistics Netherlands, 2004 figures.
