the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque In Cyprus - Part 1

in GEMS4 years ago (edited)

I want to introduce you to one of the Muslim Mosques in Cyprus.
This mosque is located on the shore of a salt lake.
Surrounded by greenery.
The place is beautiful and quiet.

At the beginning of this year, I visited the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque.
This Mosque is one of the most significant Muslim shrines, the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque over the tomb of Umm Haram.

There are various versions of who Umm Haram really was.
But most scholars believe that Umm Haram was a relative of the Prophet Muhammad by blood.
And that's why she is so worshiped and so revered.

The mosque can be visited not only by men, but also by women.
Prerequisite: take off your shoes before entering it.
And this is strictly enforced.
I like this, because you must always respect any religion and respect its customs.
Muslims make up 30% of the population of Cyprus.

The photos I were taken with a Lenovo TAB 2 A10-70L tablet

Very quiet! No people walking around?!
Nice peaceful walk!

This mosque is located a few kilometers from the city.
Therefore, there are few visitors, as there is nothing else but this mosque.
And you can get there only by your own car or by taxi.

That’s the way to keep the place peaceful and quiet.

Yes, it's a beautiful and quiet place.
The mosque is surrounded by a salt lake on both sides.
I will post photos of this Mosque and its ancient cemetery.

Salt lakes!! Very interesting.
Hope to see more photos.

Yes, I'll post it later.
I took the photos, now I need to reduce them
