Bab Al Zagheer + Bloudan
We started the day by visiting our deceased relatives and Sayidinah Bilal and Abdullah ibn Jafar. Then we went to restaurant Mora in Bloudan. But by the time we got to the restaurant, my batteries were dead.
This is the grave yard in Bab al Zagheer
Some Turkish Imams are obviously buried here.
Here lies Sayidinah Bilal. The first one to call to prayer in Islam.
May Allah be pleased with him.
This is Abdallah ibn Jafar´s tomb.
Sayidina Jafar was the muslim warrior who kept on holding to the flag in a war. When his hand that was holding the flag was cut off he switched the flag to the other hand. Then this hand with the flag was chipped off. To show that the muslim were victorious he put the bar of the flag in his mouth. The enemy then slaughtered Jafar and he died, but the Muslims had won the war.
Abdallah was his son.
This is just to show how stupid some muslim can be... Writing their names on our legacy. Pathetic and sad.
Masjid Bloudan al Kbeer
This is probably the most beautiful mosque I have ever visited! It is huge and have several entries and several prayer rooms. If you ever go to Bloudan you gotta stop there and pray!

Although in my last visit could see any pleasur objects in Damascus due to the chaos in every aspect of life, however you managed to see the beautiful side of things. And not only that, also you could find the angle which can excludes all the disturbances from the frame. I congratulate you on your work which at least saying that there is still some values left there. I wish you would publish these photos on Flickr to have wider audiance. On my side I could not find a clean moment ( air clean) to shoot my subjects.
nice work, I apreciate your efforts to make a nice picture about Damascus
thanks
