Jami`
al-Hanabila - Damascus
al-salamu `alaykum
The following are a few
pictures taken at Jami` al-Hanabila, a mosque built by Ibn Qudama and
the other Maqadisa when they migrated to Damascus. The mosque itself
is located a third of the way up Jabl Qasyoun. Ibn Qudama and Ibn
Malik the grammarian are buried a few hundred meters walk up from the
mosque.
The picture quality has been reduced without any
discernable difference in quality.
The close-up of the block
with lines and numbers is a picture of sundial used for determining
prayer times. When they renovated the mosque, they forgot to include
the sundial's pole, hence no shadow.
My apologies for not
labeling things better. Between GeoCities' frustrating and
semi-arbitrary file name constraints, and then Eudora's [attempt at]
inline image handling, file attachments are the way to go. The
filenames of the attachments, in sha Allah, give some hints on the
what, where, and directed faced in each picture.
If someone
wishes to mirror these pictures, send me the URLs and I will send
descriptions for each one.

The
Hanbali group is concerned with the school of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal
(Allah be pleased with him) and the school's works. There is emphasis
on fiqh according to the late classical scholars and its
implementation. There are ongoing lessons in English from the classic
Zad Al-Mustaqni`; email the group owner to be added to the lesson
list.
For other mathabs, please visit the Hanafi and Shafii
groups.
