THE TAJ MAHAL

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum recognised as 'the jewel of Muslim art in India'. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture – an amalgamation of Persian, Turkish and Indian styles.

The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main gate, which stands majestically in the centre of the southern wall of the forecourt. The gate is flanked on the north front by double arcade galleries. The garden in front of the galleries is subdivided into four quarters by two main walkways and each quarters in turn subdivided by the narrower cross-axial walkways, on the Timurid-Persian scheme of thewalled in garden. The enclosure walls on the east and west have a pavilion at the centre.

The Taj Mahal is a perfect symmetrical planned building, with an emphasis of bilateral symmetry along a central axis on which the main features are placed. The building material used is brick-in-lime mortar veneered with red sandstone and marble and inlay work of precious/semi precious stones. The mosque and the guest house in the Taj Mahal complex are built of red sandstone in contrast to the marble tomb in the centre. Both the buildings have a large platform over the terrace at their front. Both the mosque and the guest house are the identical structures. They have an oblong massive prayer hall consist of three vaulted bays arranged in a row with central dominant portal. The frame of the portal arches and the spandrels are veneered in white marble. The spandrels are filled with flowery arabesques of stone intarsia and the arches bordered with rope molding.

The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a vast Mughal garden that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar Pradesh. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal with construction starting in 1632 AD and completed in 1648 AD, with the mosque, the guest house and the main gateway on the south, the outer courtyard and its cloisters were added subsequently and completed in 1653 AD. The existence of several historical and Qur’anic inscriptions in Arabic script have facilitated setting the chronology of Taj Mahal.

KA'BAH

     Ka'ba (Arabic: الكعبة, transliteration: Ka'bah) is a cube shape approaching a building located in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca. This building is a monument sacred to the Muslims (Muslims). The building is used as a benchmark or direction of the Qiblah direction benchmark for things that are of worship for Muslims around the world such as prayer. In addition, a building that must be visited or diziarahi during Hajj and Umrah.

Historian, narrator and others have a different opinion about who had built the Ka'ba. There are some opinions that say Angel, Adam and Syits. The dimensions of the shrine structure measuring approximately 13.10 m to 11.03 m high with the times 12.62 m. Also known by the name of Baitullah.

     The Description of the Interior of the Holy Ka’bah. The characteristics of the Holy Ka’bah from within are as follows: At the Shami Corner, on the right side of the Holy Ka’bah, there is the staircase leading to the roof. It is a rectangular, closed, and windowless room. Its northern and eastern sides are part of the original wall of the Holy Ka’bah, and the stairs are concealed inside the room. It has a door with a special lock and is covered with a beautiful silk curtain inscribed and decorated with gold and silver.

     The thickness of the southern wall of the stairs, which includes the door, is 225 centimetres, and the thickness of the western wall is 150 centimetres. If a person ascends the staircase to the roof to the height of two metres, he will find a small door before him and another one to the left. Both of them reach the two ceilings of the Holy Ka’bah. The space between the two ceilings is 120 centimetres. The stairs end at the roof with a skylight where a tight cover is fixed to prevent rain seeping in. This cover is opened when ascending to the roof.

     Inside the Holy Ka’bah there are three pillars that support the ceiling. They are made of the finest wood ever known. They were erected by Abdullah Ibn AlZubair (may Allah be pleased with them) more than 1350 years ago. They are brownish-black and the circumference of each pillar is approximately 150 centimetres with a diameter of 44 centimetres. Each one has a square, inscribed wooden base. Between the three pillars there is a hanger holding donations to the Holy Ka’bah.

     There is a support beam that extends over the three pillars with both its ends extending to the northern and southern walls. The three pillars are as high as the first ceiling adjacent to the interior of the Holy Ka’bah. They do not extend to the upper ceiling but several beams of wood, one over the other, were put on the top of the three pillars inside the ceilings until they reached the upper ceiling. The pillars support the two ceilings and every pillar has three bands to strengthen it.
