The Best Place to Workship Allah

            Going somewhere that is amazing is a dream for everyone all over the world. And for me, the most amazing place is Masjidil Haram which is also known as Grand Mosque in the city of Mecca. If I have a chance to have much money, I will go there with my family. I have my own reasons why I should choose that place.

            When I see or hear about Masjidil haram, I have something in my mind, that is “picture is worth a thousand words”. Masjidil Haram has an impressive construction. It has 9 minarets with the height of 89 m (292 ft), 589 pillars from marmer and 152 cubes. The base structure is made of small cone roofs. And sa’i site is in the building complete with sa’i tracks which complete with shady roofs. The current structure covers an area of 4,008,020 square metres (990.40 acres) including the outdoor and indoor praying spaces and can accommodate up to four million Muslim worshippers during the Hajj period. It also surrounds the Kaaba. Inside the building has also be modificated with air conditioner for the worshippers to feel fresh air. Some loud sounds of people who is praying and praising Allah is also a common phenomena in Masjidil Haram.

            Beside its wonderful construction, Masjidil Haram is Moslem’s favourite place. Seems like it ticks all the right boxes to be a wonderful place to go and to workship Allah. It is the holiest place for Moslems. So we can also call it as a sacred mosque. The savety of every creature is guaranted, even an ant is forbidden to be killed. There is a punishment for everyone who break this law. Every year, Moslems who get fortune to have much money go there to undertake pilgrimage (hajj) or umrah. One thing that Moslems can be proud of is that it is the largest mosque in the world.

            Masjidil Haram has amazed me for these reasons. Although I just can imagine the beautifulness of it and I have not get the chance, I will not stop hoping. I hope that someday I can go there and see how impressive it is when I am standing in front of the building.
