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.

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.
Qayamat k din insanoo ko unki maan k nam?
Qayamat ke din, insaan apne aamal ke hisaab se apni maa ka naam le kar apne maqam ka samna karega. Yeh ek ahem pal hoga jab har shakhs apne amal aur niyat ka hisaab dega. Maa ka naam lena is liye bhi zaroori hai kyunki maa ki dua aur uski khidmat ka ahsaas insaan ke liye bahut ahem hota hai. Is din, insaan ki maa ki ahmiyat aur uski khushiyon ka bhi zikar hoga.

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.
