    Eid Prayers
    by marimar_72
    I have never been to an Eid prayers before this year..........and this year I have decided,,I`m gonna stay up all night inorder to attend the (Mash-had),the word mash-had means "The scene"where the prayers are held,usually it should be in an open area to view the sunrise of the Eid day.....some
    Mash-hads are held near mosques..not inside but NEAR.....the kids come wearing their new Eid clothes,the neighbours greet eachothers and many candies are given for the children.

    As Jeddah is famous of its historical mosques in the old area, for which no effort was saved to preserve it properly. The expansion of the city area was doubled by two hundred times. The expanded city contained more than one thousand mosques all over the city. Those mosques were constructed in accordance with various styles of designs and different schools of heritage architecture ranging from the "Fatimi" "Ottoman" and Islamic styles to others kinds of styles existing in the city. There are also mosques of innovative and modern designs. The mosques now represent a distinguished Islamic feature of the city that is neighboring the Holy City of Makkah and the express highway to the Mosque of the Holy Prophet (in Madinah). Such features altogether gave the city a special spiritual atmosphere, where the building of mosques goes side by side with the growing progress of all forms of architecture in the city.

    It is square in figure with open courtyard, to provide natural ventilation and lighting.
    The mosque of Osman Bin Affan at AL-Mathlum area was known as the 'Abnos Mosque' as it contained two poles of ebony wood. Its big minaret was built in the ninth and tenth Hijri centuries, the fifteenth century A.D.

    Jeddah one of the famous cities in which the magnificence of the deep rooted past combines with the originality of the present with all its modernity. This allowed Jeddah to preserve its distinguished characteristic as a modern city at par with its equivalent international cities.

    The Historical Area Protection Directorate of Jeddah was able to renovate the mosque. The building ownership was then transferred to the government. The directorate carried out renovation operations without effecting the core of the mosque.
