The Great Mosque of Sultan Qaboos جامع السلطان قابوس الأكبر

السلام عليكم

هذه بعض الصور التي التقطتها عندما ذهبت إلى جامع السلطان قابوس الأكبر في مسقط، سلطنة عمان.

لم يجر أي تعديل على الصورة، إنما تم تصغيرها فقط.

أتمنى أن تنال إعجابكم.

These are some of the images I took when I went to the Great Mosque of Sultan Qaboos in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

The pictures weren't edited or retouched. They were only resized.

I hope that you like Them.

دعاء

يا رَبّنَا يا ذَا الجَـلالِ و الكَـرَمْ أيّـد عَليًّـا بالسَّـدادِ و الظَّفَـرْ

و احْفَظ لَنَا ذَا صَادِقاً مِن كُلِّ شَرْ فَإنّكَ الوهّـابُ يـا ربّ البَشَـرْ

و أنْتَ من تحمِي لَنَا كلَّ الدَُرَرْ

A Sob of a Child!

بكاء طفل

بكاء...

وصراخ...

يقطع القلوب،

و يحبس الأنفاس...

لا يتوقف،

ولا يهدأ،

إلا عندما...

يجلس في حجر أمه...

و يعتنقها!

A sob of a child

Sobbing...

Crying...

Which hurts the hearts!

And holds the breath!

Doesn't stop,

Doesn't calm down!

It stops,

ONLY when...

He sits on his mother lap,

and...

Hugs her!

Childhood!

الطفولة!

براءة الأطفال،

تحكي لنا

عن قصةٍ...

كنا

قد عشقنا...

أنسها،

و لقياها...

يوم أن،

كنا أطفالاً صغاراً!

---

Childhood!

The innocence of a child...

Tells us,

about a story...

That we loved it's enjoyment,

And it's looks...

When we were...

Children!

Tea!

شاي!
عندما يكون الشاي الذي بين يديك،
ذو مذاق فريد...
لا يتسنى لك،
إلا أن...
تحتسي لك منه كأسا،
فتشربه،
و تلعق ما تبقى منه في القعر!

Tea!
When the tea, which is in front of you,
Is unique in it's taste...
You don't have to do anything,
Except...
Stirring a cup for yourself,
Drinking it,
& Licking the remainder of it from the bottom of the cup!

Through Binoculars!

عبر المنظار!
هنا...

حيث الطفل ينظر من خلال منظاره اليدوي...

يرى ما لا نراه!

يرى متعة...

و قطعا من البهجة...

ليستمتع بلحظته!

---

Through Binoculars!
Here, where a child is looking through his hand-made binoculars...

He sees what we cannot see!

Some joy,

With traces of delight,

To enjoy his moment!

صمود!

من غصن شجرة...

تقاوم به مختلف الظروف...

ليل، و نهار...

لتقف و تقول:

إني لا أنهزم بشتى الظروف!

(Contrast)

Durability...

From a tree's branch...

Combating the different circumstances...

Day, Night...

To stand, and say:

I can't be defeated by any circumstance!
