A Mecca For Shoppers

"Before he was a prophet" says First Things "Muhammad was a businessman"

The Neo-theocratic journal finds it " perfectly in keeping with honoring him that a market is set up next to the Great Mosque. In fact, there’s always been a market next to the mosque;"

"The Christian heaven which is primarily characterized by the intimate and intelligible presence of God, the paradise of Islam is the perfection of sensual pleasures. And what better way to give a foretaste of these divine gifts than a mall and a first-rate hotel?"

True, but if its bar serves nothing stronger than djinn and tonic, the Seventh Heaven may seem distant. That's why the seven-spires of the Abraj Al Bait shopping center are rising "steps away from the holy mosque."  The website of  "Makkah’s most prestigious retail address"  says the air conditioned  supersouk is fishing for tenants with a "Spectacular view of the Ka’abah" that will afford " a new shopping experience."

The location's unbeatable, but what will make pilgrims shop till they drop after a long day stoning the devil ?  The prayer rug market is saturated, and forget Cartier and Tiffany --Wahabi austerity frowns on wearing gold on the egalitarian pilgrimage to Islam's Holy Places. Yet with the Black Stone of the Ka'abah in sight, Blackstone's seems ideal. The upmarket widget retailer already stocks meteorite watches and a wider selection could turn Abraj Al Bait into a mecca for extraterrestrial souvenir sales. 

A mountain of meteorites overhangs the market. Metal detectors and wholesale de-mining of the formerly war-torn sands of the Western Sahara are turning up thousands of nickel-iron octahedrites and stony chondrites annually. Will the new bazaar commission a fatwa commending  heavenly fallout to pilgrims in the market for stones to throw at the pillars of Shaitan?

I want to mention that Kashmir mountainous state is considered
"paradise on Earth" because of its extreme and magical beauty so
therefore please provide any excellent and best photos of Kashmir
state so that I should see the beauty of Kashmir state(my favourite
place) also called the 'wonder of Himalaya mountains'.

If you look at this in a positive way and promote it towards the community only good can follow. A dirt jump area is fairly low maintenance in regards to the jumps themselves and garbage and recycling. This would be a great asset to the community and I would love to hear any comments!

I woke up this morning and the first thing I normally do in the morning is look for newer information for my knowledge, but the article that I read today which was written by you just blew me off. I cannot believe anything ever can happen. I too agree with your conclusion and more and more furor should be raised on such topics.
