Asslamoalaikum, sisters brothers friends and elders, we are discribing about History of The build of Umayyad Mosque
(Damascus Syria )
The Umayyad Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Damascus, is located in Damascus, Syria and is notably one of the largest and oldest mosques in the world. Built between 705 and 715 C.E. by the Umayyad Caliph al-Walid I, the mosque was and is primarily used for worship. During the time of construction, however, Muslims and Christians shared the space to worship in different sections of the building. It is a famous tourist destination, but also a place where, especially during Islamic religious holidays like Ramadan, families immerse themselves in the space to break their fasts and be with family. Thousands of visitors were known to visit the mosque yearly, but with the start of the war in Syria in 2011, it is unknown how many individuals visit the Umayyad Mosque
The Great Mosque of Damascus underwent various transitions before it became a mosque on its own, as the mosque was originally built on the site of a Roman temple. In the first century, the site was used as a temple to the Roman god Jupiter during the time when the Romans ruled Damascus. The site upon which the mosque was eventually built then became a Christian church devoted to St. John the Baptist. Pieces of each era, such as the shrine to St. John's head honored by Muslims and Christians alike, remain in the mosque.
The mosque has gone through various reconstructions due to multiple fires over centuries. One notable fire that occurred in the mosque was in 1893 when the roof and other parts of the mosque were destroyed due to a worker's smoking. Despite the numerous fires, the overall layout of the mosque remains the same and is celebrated as one of the most inspiring architectural monuments in the world.
We pray to Allah almighty to give us permission to read and understand truth of our history islam. Ameen Allah Hafiz
