So you'd have to be not just a carpenter, but probably gifted by Allah to get it that straight with an axe. In our village too they hid the old mosque under a warehouse so it wouldn't get torn down - stories like that get passed down in families.
Hadn't seen it, but now I want to. Chopping something like that with an axe - it's basically jeweler's work, not a single nail, apparently. Defending the mosque after the revolution - that's a whole separate feat, one for the textbooks.
It’s hard to even imagine how many generations have prayed within these walls. I haven’t seen it in person, only been to stone and newer ones. But here, probably, there’s a special waqf - people stood their ground, so it’s a prayer-saturated place.
MashaAllah, what beauty
Masha Allah
Allahu Akbar
And where is it located?
SubhanAllah
