Is it architectural and monetary extravaganzas or fatal added value for Muslim commons..?
Almost two decades since the billions spent on refurbishment and expansions of the holy mosque.. Which had brought lots of praise to King Fahad.. Apparently, it became a trend for Saudi monarchs to celebrate engraving their names in history with outstanding architectural monuments. Despite the wealth KSA enjoys, rates of unemployment, spinsters, illiteracy and poverty are considerably high..
Cathedrals, Hindu Temples and Buddhist shrines were built through many decades, which interpret a contradictive theology to Islam.. They use the finest architects, builders and technical innovations to display both mightiness and fortunes of the religious faith.. Since the Tulunids Dynasty in Egypt (868-905) 1300 years ago, a new trend came in marking the dawn of Urban Islam, as an inevitable companion to Political Islam.. When Ahmed Bin Tulun built his famous mosque in Cairo (the then AlQata’ie city) as a political show off, it had never hosted the mega prayers as he hoped for..!! However, he had started that trend of Muslim Monarchs spending national wealth on lavish and heavily decorated Mosques. Ironically, Islamic referrals never included any definition for a mosque more than a dedicated plot..!
Across the Muslim world, social economic and political fabrics are severely deteriorated due to the general short supply.. Nevertheless, the misuse and abuse practiced by the nomad and unprivileged Muslim pilgrims towards the modern installations; are unlikely rectifiable issues; which send the spend fortunes into black holes.. It should not be building monuments, but building morals and epistemia of a religion that had clearly honored knowledge, insightfulness and social synergy..
Finally, the architectural grid clearly “greets” the Clock Tower, rather than the Holy House itself..!!
When no governance are observed, all are justified in the name of divine of higher ethics..!!
