The Cordoba Mosque in Spain is a unique example of Muslim civilization. The mosque has been recognized as an international archeological resource by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) since 1984.
According to the World Heritage Center, the mosque still stands tall in the world today as a unique masterpiece of Muslim architecture due to its amazing architecture and exceptional craftsmanship.
Studies show that it was built by Caliph Abdur Rahman (I) in the late 6th century AD. According to history, the caliph himself used to work in the construction of mosques.
In 693, Khalifa Hisham, son of Khalifa Abdur Rahman, completed the initial work of the mosque. At that time, the Cordoba Mosque was 600 feet long and 350 feet wide.
The construction of the mosque was completed in the ninth century under the supervision of Caliph Abdur Rahman (III). At that time the area of the mosque stood at 1 lakh 10 thousand 400 square feet.
When the Muslim rulers lost power in Spain in 1236, the doors of the Cordoba Mosque were permanently closed for Muslims to worship. This holy land has become a Christian church for more than 800 years of continuous prostration by Muslims.
One day, the mosque became the center of civilization and culture of the entire Muslim world, and over time, strict legal restrictions were imposed on the worship of Muslims. To this day, the ban continues.
Qurtubir has a deep connection with this mosque in his timeless Tafsir book Tafsir. It was in this mosque that Imam Qurtubi (Rah.) Used to recite Qurtubi in his book Tafsir.
Imam Ibn Arabi (R.H.), Imam Baki Ibn Makhlad (R.H.), Yahya Ibn Yahya Andalusi (R.H.), Ibn Hazam Jahiri (R.H.) and many other world-renowned scholars and Sufis used to give sermons here.
Even today, one of the attractions of Spain is the historic Kurtuba Mosque. The Kurtuba Mosque has made Spain one of the most spectacular countries in the world. Even today, Cordoba is recognized as one of the most attractive tourist spots in the world.
Every scene of the historic Crdoba Mosque touches the heart of every man in the Muslim world.
The dream cherished in the depths of the minds of all Muslims in all countries of the world - surely one day the message of sweet Tauhid will spread again from the mosque of Cordoba - Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Azan sound.
Thank you.
