It would definitely be bad.
Honestly it sucks - but the fact of the matter is it's a necessity.
International stability is more important than the concerns of a single religion or a single people.
Obviously even some international concerns (terrorism) have to take the back seat to economic stability.
lol was that a jab at med?
No. But Med has a thing for them...
... and their skyscrapers.
little towers of babel if you ask me!
Astigafirlaaaah whatever it was exHT used to yell at the end of his posts that stressed his displeasure with everthing!
so the sky scrapers will solve the problem of biddah
wow-pure genuis
I wonder why I didnt think of that :roll: :roll:
I doubt they'll be called Towers of Bidah.
It worked the first time.
God did some pretty sweet smiting when they tried to build a tower to talk to him.
Is it a sin to build buildings higher then one of the holiest mosque in the world?
no.
In mosque of haram on the roof/3rd floor, you are higher I think...

Thats IN the mosque
my Q was is it wrong to build a building higher then THE most holiest mosque in the world
in the same city too
lol there was a childish battle in africa a while ago between Uganda's (I think) ridiculously gigantic cathedral and some other starving african nations mosque.
ohhh people...
Nowt wring with it.
The 'qibla' is not just the buliding. its an think of a line extending from the kaabah along a vertical axis to the ground.
oh, and no mosque, shrine, and not even the kaabah is worth more than the life of one person.

Well now that's interesting
thats true
but at the same time our islamic history-the place where Prophets walked/lived/slept etc are worthy of a lot of respect
And its something alot of people forget.

Isn't that sort of up to the person though?
Obviously several hundred thousand muslims during the second crusade felt rock and history were worth dying for.
Same with the Christians - I probably would have blindly joined the crusades.
These aren't [i]just[/i] buildings... they are legacies of sanctity, and it's worth preserving that sanctity
exactly
hence this topic
some people who think so highly of them selves feel justfied in destroying Islamic history-sumthing that millions of scholars before never considered doing
fighting for your religious rights and freedms is more than just about buildings.
I share your sentiment, but human life does have a very high value.

But Crusaders were out to occupy and pillage.
Sanctity was an excuse.
Right?
Mr Admin
no one said human life aint important
and this aint human life vs Islamic buildings topic
it aint about what is more important-they both are in diff ways
this tpic is about PRESERVING islamic history
if u want to talk about the iportance of preserving human life start a new topic
Some were some weren't, the First Crusade was about revenge after the burning of the sepulchre and persecution of the Christians.
Godfrey of Bouillon for example was by all accounts an extremely pious man - who refused the crown of Jerusalem. While his brother Baldwin was a selfish warlord who just wanted land. In the second crusade you had St. Louis of France who was also extremely Pious.
I would submit the majority were more pious than adventure seeking though.
Hang about, I wasn't aware that building skyscrapers was a haraam act or an innovation. What I find surprising is that those matters in deen which are blatant innovation and imitation of alien nations are wholeheartedly accepted by some people, but they have pangs of conscious because saudi's decide to build a few skyscrapers?
May I remind there is no sin in building these apartments, secondly if the saudis didnt build these then I am pretty certain that a WHOLE bunch of ppl would badmouth the saudis and say look how they dont look after the pilgrims.
Seconldy ppl are spking as though the whole saudi ppl are out to get money from the pilgirms. How stingy of ppl to say such things. May I remind them that Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned in a NUMBER OF AHADEETH that the pilgrims should spend in an easy manner in the Noble Cities and that they will be rewarded for contributing to the money generated by the traders?
Why do ppl have a problem with individuals or families buying land in the Noble Cities and then building flats or hotels and making a living? Its not as though its one big saudi conspiracy out to get the pilgrims, its just business.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
issue aint regarding builiding skyscrapers :roll:
its about building skycrapers at the expense of destroying Islamic history to make those who have Biddah Phobia's feel better about themselves :roll:
lol @ Biddah Phobia
Biddah phobia?
Yes to shun Bid'aat is indeed a good thing, pity you dont seem to think so.
I pray I have a Bid'ah phobia aswell.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
Phobia is an irrational fear.
A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
I think God has answered ur prayer
Nice definition Irfan
lol in THAT case I dont want an irrational, abnormal fear.
But yeh, I pray ALLAH saves me from the innovation that has diseased the people.
Ya ALLAH Madad.
Haq Chaar Yaar
Yeah me too!
What you put in the hearts of others; is what goes back into your own heart…
speaking of keeping u safe "from the innovation that has diseased the people"
who the hell do u think u are adding words to verses of the Quran in ur sig
looks like ur a hyporcite as well as many other things which I cant say on this forum
