loving greetings to the friends and fallowers of all faiths.
and appreaciation too, for shairing these wonderful immages.

there is a feature about mosques i find rather interesting. that is the little speaker's platform up a short flight of steps that is always to the SIDE of the prayer area rather then at the head of it.

i've never heard or read anything said about this or why it is that way. i don't even know if this is a standard of all mosques, but it is common to most pictures i have seen of their interiors.

perhapse there is some story or tradition or even koranic verse that would shed light on this?
