Al Masjid Al Harām:
Rabi` Al-Thani 8, 1429 AH
Al Masjid Al Harām
is open on the top and has a yard which, like the yards of
Istanbul's Masjid's, is surrounded by three rows of domes.
The domes number five hundred and are supported by 462
pillars, of which 218 are made of slender marble, 224 are
carved from a stone called Hajjar-i-shams, six or eight
angled, and yellow-colours. Masjid Al Harām has an oblong
form, its north wall is 164 meters long, south wall 146
meters long, east wall 106 meters long, and west wall 124
meters long. Saudis in 1955 A.D. extended these four walls,
so that Safā and Marwah were included in the Masjid. Hence,
the Masjid became 160,000 square meters
