We're currently in Haoran, which is in the southern part of Turkey.
It's actually close to the Syrian border. And you can see this was
the Grand Mosque. This they say was actually one of the first
mosques that were built in this part of the world by Marwan.
Marwan is the father of Abdulmalik number one and one of the first of
the Omega Kalif. So this is within the first century of Islam that
this mosque apparently was built. I believe this was destroyed by
Hulagu. Han much later. But this minaret, I mean, of course, it's
been through some restorations over the centuries. But you can
see that minaret it's been standing, you can see the top part
actually, and the bottom part. And if you look to the left, this is
to the left, you can see those new mustards. They say that half of
them the Tamia was here. This is where he was born, and that's why
he's called Imitate me, I'll Hirani. But then when he was quite
young, I think maybe eight or 10 or something like that. He went to
Damascus. And then that's where he continued and that's where he died
as well. He's actually buried in Damascus. I remember visiting his
grave. It's in the
it's actually in the woods or in the University of Damascus. He's
buried in next to him on a small mound, just completely separate
from everywhere else and next to him is Ibaka, Thea or hemo Mala as
well. The manifester of the Quran.
