INTRODUCTION
“Masajids, houses of Allah, and shelter
worshipers. There we find ourselves and our
souls, peace, freedom and companionship with
Allah himself. Therefore, the masjids have a
prominent place in the religion of Muslims. For
this reason, the Muslims are investing their
money, efforts, time and souls to care of and
glorify of these places in anywhere and at any
time”

INTRODUCTION
The Great Masjid in Sana’a is the most famous historic masjid in
Yemen and Islamic countries. It's a destination of visitors from all over
the world. It takes this position because our Prophet Mohammed had
ordered to build it in this place especially. When he sent his messenger
Wabr Ibn Yahless Al-Anssari as ruler of Sana'a at sixth year in
migration. The place was placed in the Garden of Bathan, beside and
on the rubble of Ghamdan Palace. In addition, there are a miracle in its
construction that the accurate direction to Al-Kibal as Prophet
Mohammed describe from a far distance. Who's told him that?!.
In an otherwise, there are a public library which known as the biggest
library in whole Arabian world.
It’s long and interesting story that we will sail in it with our
imaginations and our souls.
