Dont worrie people i am not trying to show off how namzi i am ok,thats good enough for my Allah to know,but the experience i had was so worth mentioning on my blog that i couldnt residt writing about it here....so read along.
A no short of a WoW! was my experience today and as the anxious me could not wait to put this on my blog so i write this in quite a hurry,Today i went to Masjid-e-Tooba which is located in defence phase II,I was planning to go there as i had heard a lot about it and how beautyfully this mosque was built.Its huge attraction,was its enormous dome that is 72 metres in diameter and amazingly this mosque the largest single dome mosque in the World(claimed by a site),that too built way back in 1969,yes thats true,way back then......i was just amazed by the date.
The 72 metre dia dome is supported on a low surrounding wall and the huge dome has small mirrors on the inside at a distance of about 5-10 inches,the lighting inside was dim and the acouistics were like unbelievable.Specially when just before the jamat started and the Aazan was called that was a moment i can not express,just a one of a kind experience that i will never forget.
The thing i loved most about the mosque was the silence,it was litrally what u call pin drop silence,and then the echo that was produced by every word spoken by the imam was great.Out side the mosque talking to a few regular and old namzi's i got to know that it was too a great tourist attraction for not only Karachi'iets rather people comming from out side the country also come here just to take a tour of this amazing piece of architecture.For the people of different religions there are special dress's which are provided so that they can come into the mosque and view it from the inside.
I am really happy for those people who live near to Masjid-e-Tooba as they have just some thing accessable to them which most people wish for.I wish i could go their on a daily basis but sadly it is considerable distance away from my home.Today at the mosque i prayed for a lot of things,it was like a day that u plan and say "Aaj to sab kuch maanglo" and i tried too,but still it feels like i could have stayed there for a little longer and just meditated a little longer but surely it was a time well spent and i guess i will go their when ever i can.

The mosque is certainly a wonder of its kind. And i like the way you expressed it. Good show keep it up. We will now be going to tooba masjid for prayers we have shifted to defence market the same place where we use to be so it very near by.
