Design sought for Al-Aqsa mosque minaret
By: Sultan Ahmed
AMMAN, Jordan: The launch of a competition to
design a fifth minaret for Held Jerusalem's Al Aqsa mosque has
been announced.
"Jordan will build a fifth minaret at the blessed Al Aqsa
mosque," King Abdullah II of Jordan said at a meeting of the
state committee that has continued to oversee the maintenance
of the shrine since Jordan's 1948-67 administration of East
Jerusalem.
He announced the launch of a "competition for the design of a
fifth minaret at Al Aqsa Mosque that reflects the Islamic
significance and sanctity of the mosque."
Jordan retained custodial responsibility for the mosque
compound, even after it gave up all claims to the West Bank in
1988, and coordinates its work with the Palestinian Authority.
The mosque compound, which is called the Haram Ash-Sharif
(Noble Sanctuary) by Muslims, shelters the Dome of the Rock as
well as the Al Aqsa.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
