  • it is better if u added the names of these places....great work though :)

  • What is the music? Anyone know? Very nice post.

  • The music make me sleepy while watching this video. Islam Architecture is truly amazing.

  • Wow, so amazing. Thanks for sharing this here. This is worth watching for.

  • Really beautifull...

  • Nice background music

  • my brothers whats happening to the umar today.

  • Beautiful images of Islamic architectural heritage

  • Bravo!

    The featured mosques are breathtaking.

    My best:)

  • thank you

  • @elteuton1 Without religion of Islam Arabs nothing to brag about all the discovers done after converting to Islam with help of almighty.

  • @ambrosiustranquillus Come out from your darkness idolatry worship (cross, trinity) to light submission to one and only god of universe open your mind see the truth stop hating the fastest grown religion in planet. 

  • @proudTURKmenem

    Many of the fiercest enemies of Islam are not Christians. (Militant atheists, far-right Zionists, European white supremacists, Hindu supremacists etc)

  • @ambrosiustranquillus no I am not rewriting history. I don’t have the time to give you lesson on architecture engineering, there was dome before great religion of Islam but wasn’t perfected free standing or massive in sizes. Best domes can be seen in major Muslim buildings all kind of Arch styles, elaborate, heightened domes staircase patterns rest of world adopted from Muslims, if you look at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice built 1460, you will see the resemblance of Islamic architecture.

  • @ambrosiustranquillus Romans and greeks are history. everyone knows greeks stole and took credit for lots invention from great middle eastern civilizations, great Sultan Ahmed Mosque mostly influenced by Islamic architecture, western architect learned how to created large domes by studying mosque designs in Islamic world.

  • who causes this war,

  • yeah right and you care about those muslims, any way Islam is not Communisme, you cant fight it its a done deal and i will speak to you aver few years inchalah about the Status of Islam in the planet at that time ! thats my last replay till then , and take care.

  • i do care about those muslims. i care about any innocent people dying and USA is NOT a christian country - we have muslims here to and no US-born muslim ever committed a single act of terrorism on US soil. 

    No one is fighting islam. Many in islam take this us vs. them approach and it causes a lot of conflicts. This is a false view of the world. Let go of it.

  • get it into your head, im not in a middel east , i ve never been there, Islam came to me and i took it from North Africa to Europe , a night mare of Elisabeth the catholic , she said she wont rest in peace cos she knew that Islam will go back to europe from North Africa and it did the old MOORISH style!!

  • .....yes Usa has been the last 60 years a world power, but the worse is yet to come cos that's about it ! hey then again whats 60 years ? also dont justify droping a bom,an atomic bom on civilian cities by the pearl Harbor raid, that was a MILITARY BASE iin the Pacific , in Ground invasion , You will always lose even against the poor Taliban or in ethnic shatered Irak, and i tell you why , USA soldiers are not brave they go to war cos of money, old cowboy style :) hey peace man

  • the people who lose the most are local mulsims. Taleban and Al Queda in Iraq are as foreign as US troops, stuck with suicide bombers from arab countries. They killed more locals than US troops. Also, the bomb wasn't dropped on tokyo, it was drop on two cities with the largest military factories. Those bombs convinced genocidal japanese military to end the war. A ground invasion would've caused over 1 million civilian deaths. SO it did save lifes and ended the war US did not start.

  • HOW can u not LOVE ISLAM?

  • how can you not luv this architecture

  • Ex Oriente Lux!

  • In the past, in the present, in the future the ennemy will always see us as terrorist but then again the genuis is much further than in the past, the genius passed Spain , France , up to Sweden ,the genius did even cross the Atlantic. Once a genius always a genius , is a heritage thing !!!!

  • bullshit. you lost it. you had your golden age and then you degenerated into a third world status. However, other regions emerged from that status stronger than ever by relying on education, hard work, and meritocracy. You are trying to blast and behead your way out of it. It's a false way.  You will never realize anything through violence.

  • Yes Muslim countries did degenrate into third world status, after the inquisition and colonisation what would you expect ? . but i'm not taking about muslim counties , but about Muslims and Islam , we went furhter like never before,even into your America where 50 years ago , Islam was just some another Middeleast religion. and cos you keep talking about violence,i tell you in Algiers is very Old saying anno 1516 : "Tolerance of Islam has enden by the beginning of the Inquisition" ....

  • that saying is great. you blame something else for your own problems. that sort of thinking is a trademark of losers. middle east wasn't the only part of the world that was colonized and inquisition didn't target just muslims. Ohter parts of third world didn't blame others for their problems and because of it were able to solve it. now they are first world. You were left in the dust because if you cannot see a problem within you, you cannot get better.

  • I blame nobody !! if you read good i was talking about TOLERANCE in Islam, they did protect the jew for centuries, they didnt finish the christians in the middel east, there is a lot off Arab christians over there,and in Spain after 800 years, normaly there will be no catholic a live, But as i said Islam is Tolerant, and Allah is the master of Planners. im not trying to convince you, just talkin' some sens to you

  • what you just told me shows that any religion can go through periods of tolerance and intolerance. Christianity had crusades and inquisition but it changed - it is not political now and doesn't advocate violence. Islam of the middle ages was (relatively speaking) more tolerant. Today it is the most violent religion on earth. You cannot deny that islam is in very deep trouble. Sunni killing shia, muslims fighting with all other religions from hindu to jews to all sort of christians.

  • Yes, most of our countries are like in sixteenth or seventh (in the American)  but we will come back and get our right place between nation to create a civilization ,, most of our countries were either in war to get freedom or in poor situation,, but we did a great job, you will never understand. My grandfather even he was a fighter against the injustice but he sent four of his sons to another near country to get some kind of education. we don't like to be backward and we will work on that.

  • i hope you do come back but i see little hope in the middle east today. You guys buy more arms than books and you want nuclear weapons more than good healthcare. Virtually all of your countries are dictatorships and there is little hope for the people to ever get a voice. Even if these dictatorships fall, taliban-style dictatorship awaits you then. Where is hope?

  • proud turk you are right .we invented every thing.when all the arabic and islamic word have a clean water enter the house and dirty water going out.the western were shiting in their houses

  • yes, you invented everything.  lol

  • So much been stolen from Islamic World by western countries from all kind fields of science, medicine, architect, math, great Islamic World was in Golding Age when Europe was in dark ages and north America didnt even existed.

  • @proudTURKmenem in some situation it was stolen through war and conquest, however, in other situations it was through study and transfer did the west learn and gain much. But the question remains, will the Islamic heritage be restored in the near future? I say not with the current regimes in place and widespread corruption in those lands. The future belongs to those who work hard for it.

  • @mrocean21

    I'm not optimistic, as the Middle East simply isn't a very good part of the world. The arid climate means people there are totally dependent on very vulnerable irrigation systems.

    The only thing it really had going for it in medieval times was income from trade -- which it lost due to Colombus and Vasco da Gama. This kind of overland trade will never regain dominance, as sea transport is far more energetically efficient.

    It's a miracle the Muslims achieved as much as they did!

  • The major limit of most Islamic architecture is that it never portrays the human form.

  • Fabulous... And they 'the ennemi" try to associate Islam to terrorisme! look and look again architecture of a genuis! thanx 4 the vid.

  • genius of the past.. ... terrorism is present

  • No we are fighters,,,,,,

  • fighters....why not be creators instead?

  • ... and you must know beter that America did drop a bom over civilian cities of Hiroshima and Nagazaki, did drop boms on Corea, did kill over 3 millions of vietnamese, and left the country in chaos,made a war in Somalia, Irak , Afghanistan , funny they never won any of thise wars , so please you seem a nice guy so dont talk with me about violence

  • US is a world power and all world powers have been to wars. Some of them were justified, like dropping a bomb on japan that attacked the US and help save more japanese lives (no ground invasion). And some were not like Iraq or Vietnam. You also need to let go of your brainwashing and look up facts on somalia and iraq. Somalia was a UN humanitarian mission. After 9/11 any country in the world would've gone to Afganistan.

    but blaming US is better than facing your own problems, right?

  • @neomauresque

    Many modern Westerners cannot appreciate beautiful architecture (either Islamic architecture, or traditional Western architecture) because they see it as a symbol of exploitation. They ask themselves "how many workers had to toil and die to build these places"?

    Hopefully, computer-aided manufacture may make such hostility irrelevant in the future, as we will be able to build beautiful buildings without the help of cheap labour.

  • Uau... mashalah. Awsome nd beautiful!!

  • 7:18 - whaats that?

  • the old mosque in damascus was built by christians ,too

  • if christians build em they would be muslims too cuz why would christians build a mosque otherwise

  • becuase the caliph paid them

  • the old mosque in damascus was also designed by christians -it bears all the hallmark of a byzantine church ,at least the front of it, no muslims would have built their mosque in the fashion of a catholic church

  • the hagia sophia in constantinople isn't muslim

  • ok conqured by the muslim is that ok.

  • it will be ok when the video  states the facts clearly

  • it has ayyat all over the bulding ... muslims develope it you know , and made the oreiantel identity , christians of east has contrebuted well in history of islam they were suporrtive and will be allways because thay are good people loyal for there countries ... and they are the first who follows the christ . so god bless them ...

  • Outstanding images. An accompanying soundtrack that is hauntingly beautiful.

    Thank you very much.

  • you mean your a Albino Hindu you fucking idiot... exactly you didnt respond to Babylonians inventing the Wheel, Beer, Money, Alphabet, ... becuase your a fucking albino paki.. fuck off you Indo-European miserable shit.

  • fuck off you ugly paki... india didnt contribute anything apart from not eating meat and a miserable culture... THE BABYLONIANS INVENTED BEER, THE WHEEL, and everythign.... you ugly paki get lost

  • Beautiful video but could do with some commentary of experts on architecture.

  • How old is this architecture? Did Jesus and Mohammed live during the time these stood? I would love to touch and feel the things that they touched and felt in their travels. It makes me feel lonesome, in a way.

  • too beautiful!

  • Great video....while I was watching it I remembered some of the places I have myself visited! What shocked me most was the building at 3:04!!! I have been there and had no idea that at one time it was a mosque! It's located in the city of Cefalu on the Island of Sicily, which was at one time conquered by the Arabs. I thought it was just another church but I guess it was a mosque at one time. Btw is the music from the movie "Last Samurai?!" I love that movie.

  • WOW!! NICE!! LOVE THE MUSIC

  • wow

    beautifull

  • MashaAllah, this is beautiful!!!

    How wonderful you posted this video!!

    Thank you so much!!!

    5* and in my favouritslist!!!!

  • That is without a doubt the best architecture in the world.

    From a Ukrainian.

  • Architecture islamco always beautiful and admirable.

  • Once we were the leading nations, today we are just the puppets of the West. West is powerful because we are disorganized and manipulated by them. We have gone too far away from to return the roots.

  • Shadows1323

    hahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­haaaaaaaaaaaaaa because you are just that stupid like your prophet :-D sa3am 3lik ya sharmouta!

    You are an idiot like your father, you worship the idols he worshiped, you don't even question.

  • jealousy.

    arabs (egypt) gave the greeks the columsn

    arabs invented maths, medicine, architecture, beer and everything.

    europe copied everything like pigs and then fucked off, Scandinavians are Albino Hindus

  • MashaAllah. For more about Islamic architecture, there's a very good community website: archnet (dot) org

  • جميع مقدسات المسلمين ستعود الى اهلها ان شاء الله في القريب العاجل

  • Thanks, Islamic Architecture is fantastic,

    I admire this Architecture.

  • macha'Allah nice video

  • amaazing shots and really powerful audio make for a brilliant video. good job, one of my favs!

  • This is fantastic! I cried last night watching this. We as a people will never be as competent to acheive so much again until the ending of days. "I stood on the edge, behind me was a fading light and ahead lay utter darkness as far as I could see" Its moments like these that I realise how much I love God and all the wonders He gave us. I walk into the darkness firm in faith and sure-footed. Lets light up this world again! SubhanAllah

  • Once we detach our hearts from being busy with our mundane worldly lives and we attach our hearts to the love of Allah through Tawheed, the Qur'an, the Sunnah and the seeking, preservation and propagation of all beneficial knowledge, then and only then will we fill this earth with Light once again. Allahumah Ansurul Islaam wa 'Izzal- Muslimeen, Ameen Ya Ar-Rhamul-Rahimeen!

  • ameen

  • A beautifully composed video. Well done.

  • Another great video mballan. Keep up the good work.

  • Islamic architecture is the best. The reason being is because it is a way to express yourself art wise and still follow the guidelines of Islam.
