Cordoba, Spain

Cathedral- Mosque of Cordoba- in 1236, Córdoba was captured by King Ferdinand III of Castile in the Reconquista, and the mosque was turned into a Catholic church. Alfonso X oversaw the construction of the Villaviciosa Chapel and the Royal Chapel within the mosque. The kings who followed added further Christian features, such as King Henry II rebuilding the chapel in the 14th century. The minaret of the mosque was also converted to the bell tower of the cathedral. It was adorned with Santiago de Compostela’s captured cathedral bells.The most significant alteration was the building of a Renaissance cathedral nave right in the middle of the expansive structure. The insertion was constructed by permission of Charles V, king of Castile and Aragon.The Great Mosque’s conversion to a Christian Catholic church, the Catedral de Córdoba, may have helped to preserve it when the Spanish Inquisition was most active.Artisans and architects continued to add to the existing structure until the late 18th century.

writingstillfajr:

A mosque is not simply “a place of worship.”

People get married in mosques. I did. They take their children to full-time or part-time schools that are located inside of mosques. I do this, too.

People gather at mosques to celebrate the birth of babies, and to pray over their loved one who have passed away.

Mosques are home to food banks and soup kitchens for those who are struggling in our communities. Our mosques house counseling services, study circles, and charity events.

We have classes at the mosque, and meals, and meetings. There are bookstores and libraries inside of mosques.

We grow up in mosques, making too much noise at prayer time, running through the lines of worshipers and climbing on the backs of our parents when they’re prostrating. It’s a playground, a sanctuary, a gathering place.

Mosques have served these purposes in our communities for the past 1400 years.

Our mosques are not just ‘places of worship’ where we bow our heads and then go home. They are our second homes.

Mosques are certainly not perfect places. We have our disagreements and divisions and faults. But if I were to walk into a mosque anywhere in the world, I would feel at home. It doesn’t matter if the people around me speak a language I do not understand - our hearts and limbs and smiles speak one language when we’re standing next to each other.

An attack on a mosque isn’t just an attack on people worshiping. It’s an attack on the very heart and soul of our community. That’s why it hurts so much.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”
