Madinah Munawara by Seema
“Raza! In Allah’s eyes we will have no worth if we do not love Medina on this earth”. / - Ala Hazrat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan (May Allah azzawajal be Pleased With Him) Madinah (Almadina Al-Munawara) the light city, is the city of the Prophet Muhammad and also his burial place. / is one of Islam’s most sacred shrines. / Muslims are drawn to Madinah, not as a religious duty as in the case of Makkah, but out of love and respect for God’s last Prophet. For it is in this city that the Prophet Muhammad established the first Islamic community, spent the last years of his life, and where he and many of his companions are buried. Known by more than 90 names that generally denote respect and devotion, the city is most commonly called Madinah (city), short for Madinah Al-Nabi (City of the Prophet) or Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah (the Radiant or Enlightened City), a reference to its association with the Prophet. A Beautiful mixed media painting of my beloved Madinah.

Kafiya by MichaelBr
Sitting in my favorite coffee shop near Damascus gate in the old city of Jerusalem. Here you can sit and shoot the most amazing candids at point blank while sipping a (somewhat pricy) tea or freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. I was fortunate to have a Keren Danieli. a fellow red bubbler with me. In her friendly manner she broke every ice and even the soldiers who are reluctant to be photographed patiently posed for her. She is doing indeed terrific work, go and check it out here.
