Good point!

The most funny banner (for me) was RAMAZANDA CEZAEVÝNDEYÝZ  means ´ on Ramazan we are in jail´ ?????

Sultanahmet mosque?

Lest change the subject a bit then..

Did you know that that mosque was the only mosque in islamic world in its time as a mosque with 6 minarets only...

Later on, they discovered that there was another mosque with 6 minarets in saudi Arabia and then they added another minaret into that mosque in order to keep the uniqness of Sultanahment mosque.

And one more info, that mosque was the first mosque built by an Ottoman sultan with money from tresury.. (Earlier , all the mosques were built with the booty)

That was the reason people of Istanbul protested that and did not go to the mosque appr.. for 100 years..

You know it was said for old Bayrampaþa Jail

Fasting exists in all religions,and in all populations around the globe and for different reasons.I believe it started as a soul purificaton from the daily cravings as a way to give the soul the upper hand over the body,to show that the mind is superior.I personally used to fast on and off,(I suffer from hypoglycemia),I considered it as a disciplin,but no matter how religious I am I cannot believe that not eating during a few hours,no matter how hard it is,makes me a better muslim.I can fast if I live my days in slow motion in order not to consume energy............but I felt stupid doing that.I changed my fasting ,so instead of not eating i try to be honest(not always easy as small lies are sometimes necsssary if you do not want to hurt the feelings of others),to be there for  whoever needs help,and so on.

I would like here to add that I can´t understand  that a pillar of a religion is conditionnal.The Koran explicitely talks about fasting only for those who can.................and those who are incapacitated go to hell ?................sorry,but this is not my Islam. 

My guess is that we haven´t studied the Book hard enough,I read it at least 20 times and although it mentions fasting as a must,it never says it is a pillar.it is a must as much as being loving,caring,fair,honest  are..............but not a pillar.

No offend ment here,please try to be openminded,make an effort to understand yourself instead of believing what you are told.Make your own decisions,well now that IS A MUST explicitely mentionned in the Book.

For

 those who do fast I wish them easy fasting,Hana

Good post, Hana, this I can agree with.

it is because it was built only ar XVIII century, much later than it is claimed to be.

I am really interested to hear about this more Raindrops..

I have checked the dates again. It was built by Architect  Mehmet (a student from Sinan school) with the order from sultan Ahmed I who was the ruler between 1603 and 1617.

The mosque was built between 1610 and 1616 (which  is also the year when shakspeare died). And a year later Ahmed I died without praying that much in the mosque itself..

Anyway, that is what I know from the sources..

Can you show any sources or tell  us  regarding the post above?
