Maqam is the system of melodic modes used in traditional Arabic music, which is mainly melodic. The word maqam in Arabic means place, location or rank. The Arabic maqam is a melody type. Each maqam is built on a scale, and carries a tradition that defines its habitual phrases, important notes, melodic development and modulation. Both compositions and improvisations in traditional Arabic music are based on the maqam system. Maqams can be realized with either vocal or instrumental music, and do not include a rhythmic component.

What is Maqam-e-ibrahim?
Maqam IbrahimStation of Ibrahim (Maqam Ibrahim)In order to complete the upper part of the walls of the Kaaba, Ibrahim stood upon a large stone block which he moved along when each section was completed. When the Kaaba was finished, the large stone block was left outside the Kaaba, close to the eastern wall of the sanctuary. It became known as the Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Ibrahim). Today, the Maqam Ibrahim, with the stone within, is located in front of the door of the Kaaba. The boulder is about 2 x 3 feet. Where it stands today is the place where Ibrahim offered up his prayers.Ref: http://www.hajinformation.com/main/j1094.htmThis is the standing place of Prophet lbrahim (peace be on him) when he used to stand here while building the Ka'ba with his son Prophet Isma'il (peace be on him).Ref: http://www.freewebs.com/arabiyyah/The Station of Abraham is a glass and metal enclosure within the pilgrimage circuits of the Kaaba. According to Muslim tradition:"God made the stone under Abraham's feet into something like clay so that his foot sunk into it. That was a miracle. It was transmitted on the authority of Abu Ja'far al-Baqir (may peace be upon him) that he said: Three stones were sent down from the Garden: the Station of Abraham, the rock of the children of Israel, and the Black Stone, which God entrusted Abraham with as a white stone. It was whiter than paper, but became black from the sins of the children of Adam."Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_of_Abraham
Can khilafah be established before imam mahdi?
Yes, since the hadith says:"Upon the death of a Khalifah, people will differ among themselves. Then a man from the people of Madinah will flee to Mecca. Some people from Mecca will approach him and give him the Bay’ah while he dislikes it. The Bay’ah will be given to him between the Rukn and Maqam [near the Kabah. He will divide the wealth among the Muslims justly] and implement upon the people the Sunah of their Prophet. Islam will spread on earth. He will be for seven years and then he will die. Muslims will pray on him [in his funeral]. " Al-Haythmi said that At-Tabarani reported it in AI-Awsat and the narrators are on the level of the Sahih Hadith.

What was the holy shrine of mecca?
The main sacred place in Mecca (or Makkah) in Saudi Arabia is the Kaaba that is considered the first God House on earth. The pillars of Kaaba was raised by prophet Abraham (aided by his son Ismael); peace be upon them. Kaaba is surrounded by the Grand Mosque (or AlMasjid Alharam) that can accommodate up to 4-5 million Muslim to pray. Quran says (meaning English translation): "Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah ('Mecca or Makkah), full of blessing, and a guidance for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinns).In it are manifest signs (for example), the Maqam (place) of Ibrahim (Abraham); who so ever enters it, he attains security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah or Kaaba) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah (or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism), those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah stands not in need of any of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns)." (3: 96-97)
What are ouds?
They are Guitar-like instruments made by either Arabs or HispanicsSome special features are:Lack of frets: The oud, unlike many other plucked stringed instruments, does not have a fretted neck. This allows the player to be more expressive by using slides and vibrato. It also makes it possible to play the microtones of the Arabic Maqam System. This development is relatively recent, as ouds still had frets in AD 1100, and they gradually lost them by AD 1300, mirroring the general development of Near-Eastern music which abandoned harmony in favor of melismatics.Strings: With some exceptions, the modern oud has eleven strings. Ten of these strings are paired together in courses of two. The eleventh, lowest string remains single. There are many different tuning systems for the oud which are outlined below. The ancient oud had only four courses - five by the 9th century. The strings are generally lighter to play than the modern classical guitar.Pegbox: The pegbox (to tune the strings) of the oud is bent back at a 45-90° angle from the neck of the instrument. This provides the necessary tension that prevents the pegs from slipping. The tension of the strings helps to hold what would otherwise be a weak joint together. The nut is held in place by the string tension, rather than being glued. The pegs do not slip if tapered accurately; if they do, chalk is used to make them stick more, and soap to enable them to slip more. Proprietary compounds or pastes, sometimes called pegdope are also used.Body: The oud's body has a staved, bowl-like back resembling the outside of half a watermelon, unlike the flat back of a guitar. This bowl allows the oud to resonate and have a particular tone quality. The shape is structurally very strong and stable enabling it to be very thin. It can be 1.2 mm. Although made of dense hardwood good instruments are not heavy. The guitar structure would not be stable if the build were as light.Sound-holes: The oud generally has one to three sound-holes, which may be either oval or circular, and often are decorated with a carved bone or wooden rosette.

What are important rituals and ceremony of Islam?
HajjAnswerThere are 2 types of pilgrimages: UMRAH (which can be performed any time of the year) and HAJJ (performed from 8 to 13th of Islamic month Dhul Hijja-currently December 18 to 23). IhramIhram is the intention of the person willing to perform all rites of 'Umrah, Hajj or both when he arrives at the Miqat (boundry of Makkah). It is recommended that a male who intends to perform pilgrimage makes Ghusl (a shower with the intention to purify one's self), perfumes his body, but not his garments, and puts on a two piece garment with no headgear. The garments should be of seamless cloth. One piece to cover the upper part of the body, and the second to cover the lower part. For a woman the Ihram is the same except that she should not use perfumes at all and her dress should cover the whole body decently, leaving the hands and the face uncovered. The pilgrim should say the intention.Men are recommended to utter the Talbeyah aloud while women are to say it quietly. This Talbeyah is of the form: "Labbayka Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk. Inna-alhamda Wan-ntimata Laka Walmulk. La Shareek Lak." (Here I am at your service. O my Lord, here I am. Here I am. No partner do You have. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the provisions are Yours, and so is the dominion. No partner do You have.)Performing 'UmrahTawaf: When a Muslim arrives to Makkah, he should make Tawaf around the Ka'bah, as a gesture of greeting AlMasjid Al-Haraam. This is done by circling the Ka'bah SEVEN times in the counterclockwise direction, starting from the black stone with Takbeer and ending each circle at the Black Stone with Takbeer, keeping the Ka'bah to one's left. Then the pilgrim goes to Maqam Ibrahim (Ibrahim's Station), and performs two rak'ah behind it, close to it if possible, but away from the path of the people making Tawaf. In all cases one should be facing the Ka'bah when praying behind Maqam Ibrahim.Sa'i: The next rite is to make Sa'i between Safa and Marwah. The pilgrim starts Sa'i by ascending the Safa. While facing the Ka'bah he praises Allah, raises his hands and says Takbeer "Allah-u Akbar" three times, then makes supplication to Allah. Then the pilgrim descends from the Safa and heads towards the Marwah. Males should increase the pace between the clearly marked green posts, but should walk at a normal pace before and after them. When the pilgrim reaches the Marwah, he should ascend it, praise Allah and do as he did at the Safa. This is considered ONE round and so is the other way from the Marwah to the Safa. A total of SEVEN rounds are required to perform the Sa'i.After Sa'i, the Muslim ends his 'Umrah rites by shaving his head or trimming his hair (women should cut a finger tip's length from their hair).The Umrah is now complete. One must pray to Allah The Merciful to accept it.At this stage, the prohibitions pertaining to the state of Ihram are lifted and one can resume his normal life.There are no required formulas or supplications for Tawaf or for Sa'i. It is up to the worshipper to praise Allah The Merciful or to supplicate Him with any acceptable supplication or to recite portions of the Qur'an. Although it is recommended to recite the supplications that the Prophet, salla Allah-u alaihe WA salam, used to say during the performance of these rites.It must be noted that 'Umrah can be performed by itself as described above at any time of the year.The Hajj
