2 WBICC Chicago, IL, USA Islam in America JANUAR Organized Muslim movement in the US can be traced back to Timothy Drew (Canaanite Temple, Newark, 1913), Wallace D. Fard (Nation of Islam NOI, Detroit, 1930) and then Elijah Muhammad (NOI, 1934). Imam W.D. Mohammed is the reformer of NOI. Mohammed assumed NOI leadership in While he was gradually stirring the ship toward mainstream Islam, Farrakhan decided to revive the teachings of the forefathers and formed his group with the original name NOI. In Parallel, the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam (AMI) was active in the African American Community starting in the early 1920 s. Malcolm X, Shaikh Dawud Faisal (Islamic Mission of America, 1924 in Brooklyn), Sheik Nasir Ahmad (First Muslim Mosque of Pittsburgh, 1932) are examples of NOI/AMI followers who later reverted to mainstream Islam. Other leaders like Jamil al-amin, Siraj Wahhaj, Zaid Shakir left their mark in American. Immigrant Muslim workers who came in the late 1800 s and early 1900 s (Syrian, Lebanese, and Yemeni) formed communities in different parts of the US like Dearborn, Cedar Rapids (Mother Mosque, 1934, oldest standing and preserved Mosque), & Lackawanna. 1970s & 80s witnessed influx of Muslim students from abroad who purchased houses and Churches and converted them into Mosques. The Muslim Students Association (MSA) established in 1962 was and continues to be a vibrant organization. From the 1990 s, hundreds of Mosques & Islamic schools Rebiu-l-evvel / Rebiu-l-ahir were built from the ground up. Several national Islamic Financial, Civil Liberties, Relief, Dawah institutions created like Guidance, CAIR, MAS, ISNA, Mosque Cares. Currently there about 2,300 Mosques & Islamic Centers, and 350 Full time Islamic Schools. The US government estimates 2.23 million Muslims in America while Muslim organizations estimate 5-8 million.

4 Al-Masjid Al-Haram Makkah, Saudi Arabia The Kaabah FEBRUAR It is a building at the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-haram, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim site in the world. It is considered the "House of Allah". Wherever they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba when performing salat (prayer). From any point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the qibla. The sanctuary around the Kaaba is called Al-Masjid al-haram (Sacred Mosque). One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every Muslim who is able to do so to perform the hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Multiple parts of the hajj require pilgrims to make tawaf, the circumambulation seven times around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise direction. Tawaf is also performed by pilgrims during the umrah (lesser pilgrimage). However, the most interesting times are during the hajj, when millions of pilgrims gather to circle the building on the same day. The Kaaba is a bricked cuboid structure which is made of granite quarried from nearby Kyara Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Rebiu-l-ahir / Dz umade-l-evvel Land. The Kaaba is approximately 13.1 m (43 ft) high (some claim m (39.5 ft)), with sides measuring m (36.2 ft) by m (42.2 ft). Inside the Kaaba, the floor is made of marble and limestone. The interior walls, measuring 13 m (43 ft) by 9 m (30 ft), are clad with tiled, white marble halfway to the roof, with darker trimmings along the floor. The floor of the interior stands about 2.2 m (7.2 ft) above the ground area where tawaf is performed. Source: World FactBook & Wikipedia.org

6 Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia MART Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi (The Prophet's Mosque) Is a mosque established and originally built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, situated in the city of Medina in Saudi Arabia. Al-Masjid an-nabawi was the second mosque built in the history of Islam and is now one of the largest mosques in the world. It is the second-holiest site in Islam, after al-masjid al-haram in Mecca. It is always open, regardless of date or time. The site was originally adjacent to Muhammad's (PBUH) house; he settled there after his Hijra (emigration) to Medina in 622 CE. He shared in the heavy work of construction. The original mosque was an open-air building. The mosque served as a community center, a court, and a religious school. There was a raised platform for the people who taught the Quran. Subsequent Islamic rulers greatly expanded and decorated it. In 1909, it became the first place in the Arabian Peninsula to be provided with electrical lights. The mosque is under the control of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The mosque is located in what was traditionally the center of Medina, with many hotels and old markets nearby. It is a major pilgrimage site. Many Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Dz umade-l-evvel / Dz umade-l-uhra pilgrims who perform the Hajj go on to Medina to visit the mosque due to its connections to the life of Muhammad (PBUH). After an expansion during the reign of the Umayyad caliph al-walid I, it now incorporates the final resting place of Muhammad (PBUH) and the first two Rashidun caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar.

8 Dome of the Rock (Al-Aqsa) Jerusalem, Palestine Dome of the Rock APRIL is a shrine located on the Temple Mount in the Old City of Jerusalem. It was initially completed in 691 CE at the order of Umayyad Caliph Abd al-malik during the Second Fitna. The Dome of the Rock is now one of the oldest works of Islamic architecture. It has been called "Jerusalem's most recognizable landmark". Its architecture and mosaics were patterned after nearby Byzantine churches and palaces. The octagonal plan of the structure may also have been influenced by the Byzantine Chapel of St Mary (also known as Kathisma and al-qadismu) built between 451 and 458 on the road between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The site's significance stems from religious traditions regarding the rock, known as the Foundation Stone, at its heart, which bears great significance for Jews and Muslims. It is Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali.

12 Qolşärif Mosque Kazan, Russia Islam in Russia JUNI Islam is the second most widely professed religion in Russia. Islam is considered as one of Russia s traditional religions, legally a part of Russian historical heritage. The first Muslims within current Russian territory were the Dagestani people (region of Derbent) after the Arab conquests in the 8th century. The first Muslim state in Russia was Volga Bulgaria (922). The Tatars inherited the religion from that state. Later most of the European and Caucasian Turkic peoples also became followers of Islam. Tatars of the Crimean Khanate, the only remaining successor to the Golden Horde, continued to raid Southern Russia and were even able to burn down parts of Moscow in Until the late 18th century, Crimean Tatars maintained a massive slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East, exporting about 2 million slaves from Russia and Ukraine over the period The period from the conquest of Kazan in 1552 to the ascension of Catherine the Great in 1762 was marked by systematic repression of Muslims through policies of exclusion and discrimination as well as Ša ban / Ramazan the destruction of Muslim culture by elimination of outward manifestations of Islam such as mosques. The Russians initially demonstrated a willingness in allowing Islam to flourish as Muslim clerics were invited into the various regions to preach to the Muslims, particularly the Kazakhs whom the Russians viewed with contempt. However, Russian policy shifted toward weakening Islam by introducing pre-islamic elements of collective consciousness. Source: World FactBook & Wikipedia.org

14 Cologne Central Mosque Cologne, Germany Islam in Germany JULI Owing to labor migration in the 1960s and several waves of political refugees since the 1970s, Islam has become a visible religion in Germany. According to a national census conducted in 2011, 1.9% of Germany s population (around 1.5m people) declared themselves as Muslim. However, this is likely to underestimate the true number, given that many respondents may have exercised their right not to state their religion. An estimate made in 2009 calculated that there are 4.3 million Muslims in Germany (5.4% of the population). Of these, 1.9 million are German citizens (2.4%). As of 2006, about 15,000 converts are of German ancestry. According to the German statistical office 9.1% of all newborns in Germany had Muslim parents in Islam is the largest minority religion in the country, with the Protestant and Roman Catholic confessions being the majority religions. The large majority of Muslims in Germany are of Turkish origin (63.2%), followed by smaller groups from Pakistan, countries of the former Yugoslavia, Arab countries, Iran Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Ramazan / Ševval and Afghanistan. Most Muslims live in Berlin and the larger cities of former West Germany. However, unlike in most other European countries, sizeable Muslim communities exist in some rural regions of Germany, especially Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and parts of Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.

16 Madni Jamia Masjid Bradford, England Islam in England AUGUST Islam was de facto illegal in England until the Doctrine of the Trinity Act It is now the largest non-christian religion, with most Muslims being immigrants from South Asia (in particular Pakistan, Bangladesh and India) or descendants of immigrants from that region. According to the 2011 Census, 2.7 million Muslims live in England and Wales where they form 5.0% of the general population and 9.1% of children under the age of five. Offa, the 8th-century King of Mercia, decided to have a coin minted with an Islamic inscription. These coins may have been minted simply for prestige or to facilitate trade with the expanding Caliphate of Córdoba. In the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, there is among the pilgrims wending their way to Canterbury, a Doctour of Phisyk whose learning included Rhazes (Al- Razi), Avicenna (Ibn Sina, Éæ«S øhg) and Averroes (Ibn Rushd, óشtq øhg). Professor John Makdisi s The Islamic Origins of the Common Law in the North Carolina Law Review, curiously suggested that English common law was inspired by medieval Islamic law. The Muslim Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Ševval / Zu-l-kade Moors had a noticeable influence on the works of George Peele and William Shakespeare. In 17th-century England, there was a second wave of interest in the study of Arabic science and Islamic philosophy. Arabic manuscripts were considered the key to a treasure house of ancient knowledge, which led to the founding of Arabic chairs at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, where Arabic was taught.

18 Velika Kladuša, Buz im, Cazin i Bihać Krajina, Bosnia and Herzegovina Islam in Bosnia SEPTEMBAR Islam was first brought to the Balkans by the Ottomans in the mid-to-late 15th century who gained control of most of Bosnia in 1463, and seized Herzegovina in the 1480s. Over the next century, the Bosnians - composed of dualists and Slavic tribes living in the Bosnian kingdom under the name of Bošnjani - embraced Islam in great numbers under Ottoman rule which also saw the name Bošnjanin transform into Bošnjak ( Bosniak ). By the early 1600s, approximately two thirds of the population of Bosnia were Muslim. Bosnia, along with Albania, were the only parts of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans where large numbers of people were converted to Islam, and remained there after independence. In other areas of the former Ottoman Empire where Muslims formed the majority or started to form the majority, those Muslims were either expelled, assimilated/christianized, massacred, or fled elsewhere (Muhajirs). The Bosniaks are predominantly Muslim by religion. There are around 3 million Muslim Bosniaks, taking into account historic emigrations and the large diaspora that had left the country during the Bosnian Zu-l-kade / Zu-l-hidz dz e War in the 1990s. An estimated 1.55 million still reside in their native Bosnia and Herzegovina where they constitute 40 percent of the country s overall population. The ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims during the Bosnian war caused a profound internal displacement of their population within Bosnia-Herzegovina, resulting in the almost complete segregation of the country s religious communities into separate ethno-religious areas.

20 Masjid Al-Jazzar Akko, Palestine 2016 Masjid Al-Jazzar OKTOBAR The Jezzar Pasha Mosque, also known as the White Mosque, is located on al-jezzar Street inside the walls of the old city of Acre (Akko), overlooking the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It was the project of Acre s Ottoman governor in the late 18th century, Ahmed Pasha al-jazzar ( the Butcher ), who was equally famous for his cruelty, impressive public works, and defeat of Napoleon at the Siege of Acre in Jezzar Pasha ordered the mosque s construction in 1781 and had it completed within the year; it was built over former Muslim and Christian prayer houses and other Crusader buildings. There is a tughra or monogram on a marble disc inside the gate, naming the ruling Sultan, his father, and bearing the legend ever-victorious. Adjacent to the mosque is a mausoleum and small graveyard containing the tombs of Jezzar Pasha and his adoptive son and successor, Sulayman Pasha, and their relatives. The mosque is an excellent example of Ottoman architecture, which incorporated both Byzantine and Persian styles. Some of its fine features include the green dome and minaret, a green-domed sabil next to its steps (a Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Zu-l-hidz dz e 1437 / Muharrem 1438 kiosk, built by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, for dispensing chilled drinking water and beverages) and a large courtyard. The mosque, that is dominating Acre s skyline, was originally named Masjid al-anwar (the Great Mosque of Lights ) and is also known as the White Mosque because of its once silvery-white dome that glittered at a great distance. The dome is now painted green. The minaret has a winding staircase of 124 steps. Source: World FactBook & Wikipedia.org

22 Mesquita Central de Lisboa Lisbon, Portugal 2016 Islam in Portugal NOVEMBAR According to the the National Statistical Institute of Portugal, there were, according to the 1991 census, 9,134 Muslims in Portugal, about 0.1% of the total population, even though the Islamic Community of Lisbon presently points to a number of about 40,000 according to 2011 estimates. Most of the Muslim population originates from the former Portuguese overseas provinces of Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique, most of the latter having their origin in the Indian subcontinent. From 711 to 1249, much of the territory of what is now Portugal (namely south of the Mondego river, but particularly in the Alentejo and the Algarve) was under Muslim control, and was called Al-Garb Al-Andalus (the west of Al-Andalus). The town of Mértola, in the Alentejo, possesses the only partial remains of a mosque, converted to a Catholic church after the Reconquista. The Central Mosque of Lisbon is the main mosque of Lisbon, Portugal, serving the capital city s Islamic community. It was designed by architects António Maria Braga and João Paulo Conceição; its external features include a minaret and a dome. The mosque contains Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Safer / Rebiu-l-evvel 1438 reception halls, a prayer hall and an auditorium. The Central Mosque has formed a council to provide financial and others services to needy members of the local Muslim community.

24 Edinburgh Central Mosque Edinburgh, Scotland, UK 2016 Edinburgh Central Mosque DECEMBAR Edinburgh Central Mosque (officially known as the King Fahd Mosque and Islamic Centre of Edinburgh) is located on Potterrow near the University of Edinburgh central area and the National Museum of Scotland. The mosque and Islamic centre was designed by Dr. Basil Al Bayati, and took more than six years to complete at a cost of 3.5m. The main hall can hold over one thousand worshippers, with women praying on a balcony overlooking the hall. The mosque holds chandeliers and a vast carpet, with very little furniture. The architecture combines traditional Islamic features with some Scots baronial style. Prior to its construction, there was no mosque large enough to fulfill the needs of the Muslims in the city centre of Edinburgh. As the Muslim population increased a large mosque became viable. Eventually, the project was able to purchase land from the City Council with the proviso that an existing listed building be preserved and used. The project ran into funding difficulties; but these were solved when King Fahd of Saudi Arabia donated 90% of the project s total cost. On 1438 Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Rebiu-l-evvel / Rebiu-l-ahir 31 July 1998 the mosque was opened by his son Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Fahd, who was also the project patron. The Islam Festival Edinburgh (IFE, and also known as the Discover Islam Exhibition) is part of the Edinburgh Festival. It is held in this mosque during the entire month of August every year. The mosque is opened to the public. Source: World FactBook & Wikipedia.org

26 Sultan Ahmet Camii Istanbul, Turkey 2017 JANUAR Photo: Al-Anwar Designs. Photograph by Riad K. Ali. Rebiu-l-ahir / Dz umade-l-evvel 1438 Islam in Turkey During the Muslim conquests of the 7 th and early 8 th centuries, Arab armies established the Islamic Empire. The Islamic Golden Age was soon inaugurated by the middle of the 8 th century by the ascension of the Abbasid Caliphate and the transfer of the capital from Damascus to Baghdad. The later period saw initial expansion and the capture of Crete (840). The Abbasids soon shifted their attention towards the East. During the later fragmentation of the Abbasid rule and the rise of their Shiite rivals the Fatimids and Buyids, a resurgent Byzantium recaptured Crete and Cilicia in 961, Cyprus in 965, and pushed into the Levant by 975. The Byzantines successfully contested with the Fatimids for influence in the region until the arrival of the Seljuk Turks who first allied with the Abbasids and then ruled as the de facto rulers. In 1068 Alp Arslan and allied Turkmen tribes recaptured many Abbasid lands and even invaded Byzantine regions, pushing further into eastern and central Anatolia after a major victory at the Battle of Manzikert in The disintegration of the Seljuk dynasty, the first unified Turkic dynasty, resulted in the rise of subsequent, smaller, rival Turkic kingdoms such as the Danishmends, the Sultanate of Rum, and various Atabegs who contested the control of the region during the Crusades and incrementally expanded across Anatolia until the rise of the Ottoman Empire. According to religiosity polls, 97.8% of the population identifies as Muslim, mostly Sunnis (about 72%), and Alevis of the Shia denomination form about 25%. There is also a Twelver Shia community representing 3% of the population. Source: World FactBook & Wikipedia.org
