| NOTE The following: I can not confirm receipt of your answer. If you want, when you send your answer add a comma and your own username that way you will send the answer to yourself as well. Do not send just a destination. Everyone who sent "Jerusalem" is WRONG that's not what the question asked. It's wayyyy too easy to ask for just a destination sorry ;) Apparently people are not consulting with their partners. Part of this game was for people to get to know each other as well and coordinate together and have fun and stuff!! So I'll accept the first answer from either of the contestants.. right or wrong. ahluqman (No subject) on: Jan 1st, 2003, 3:03am As Salaamu Alaikum, Phil It is 3:10 AM Jan 1, 2003 Eastern Standard Time and ahluqman and peace are in Jerusalem standing at the entrance to the Dome of the Rock, looking at Surah 17 Al Isra on the outside frieze of the third holiest place in Islam.

So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: For ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith. al-Qur'an 3:138-139 ******************************************************************************* truthfinder FINAL ANSWER on: Jan 1st, 2003, 12:43pm Ya Sin !!! “Do not look at the smallness of the sin, rather look at the One Whom you are disobeying.” "Indeed Allah is gentle and loves gentleness, and gives due to gentleness that which He does not give due to harshness." Salvation Lies Between Fear and Hope Allah Is The Rich, You Are The Poor ******************************************************************************* Traveler (No subject) on: Jan 1st, 2003, 5:32pm Quote: also you can't submit 5 answers!!! that isn't fair so make sure you are submitting your final answer .. in this case i'm going to take your FIRST answer as your FINAL answer that way people can't submit a first answer just to get it in quickly and then later send a more researched final answer.. I read this rule after sending in my final answer. So this is my final final answer, The chapter written is surah Al-Ikhlas #112 17:26 And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Quran 17:26 ******************************************************************************* Mohja answer 1 on: Jan 2nd, 2003, 12:39am [slm] jan..err phil :) ok we think we got the answer: the holy land and the rock refer to the dome of the rock and the heaven's view to the night journey of the prophet[Peace Be Upon Him]...so the chapter would be surah#17 al-Isra ooohh.. and this is from mohja and ayeshaz O mankind! there hath come to you a direction from your Lord and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts,- and for those who believe, a guidance and a Mercy. Qur'an(10:57) ******************************************************************************* Abu_Atheek Race to Destination #1 on: Jan 2nd, 2003, 7:42am [slm] FINAL Answer to Race to Destination #1 from ABU_ATHEEK & SAJIDA is The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) and the chapter referred to is the Qura'nic Chapter 36, Ya-Sin (The Heart of the Qur'an) Jerusalem became known as Al-Quds, The Holy. Many of the Prophet's Companions travelled to worship at the blessed spot to which Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was brought by night and from which he ascended through the heavens to his Lord. According to the authenticated tradition of the Prophet, travel for the sake of worship is undertaken to only three mosques; the Sacred Mosque in Makkah, the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, and the Furthest Mosque in Jerusalem. In 685AD the Umayyad Khalif, 'Abdul Malik ibn Marwan, commenced work on the Dome of the Rock. Essentially unchanged for more than thirteen centuries, the Dome of the Rock remains one of the world's most beautiful and enduring architectural treasures. The gold dome stretches 20 metres across the Noble Rock, rising to an apex more than 35 metres above it. The Qur'anic verse 'Ya Sin' is inscribed across the top in the dazzling tile work commissioned in the 16th century by Suleiman the Magnificent. Details from: http://www.noblesanctuary.com/DOME.HTML Indeed, God does not do the least harm to mankind, but it is men who wrong themselves - 10:44 ******************************************************************************* Maliha Answer to Destination ONE. on: Jan 2nd, 2003, 12:09pm [slm] Team RainbowShine signing in...UmmWafi and Maliha :) The Final Answer IS: Surah Yaasin Or Chapter Yaasin Destination #1 "The land is holy so may be the rock" This refers to the Dome of Rock...Since Al Quds is Holy to us. "Stand 'neath the arch, heavens view" the description is the gold dome stretches 20 metres across the noble rock rising to an apex so that is the arch. "No need to travel for it's in the heart" Surah Yasin is the heart of the Quran. "Look up not far, what chapter's written there? The Qur'anic verse 'Ya Sin' is inscribed across the top in the dazzling tile work commissioned in the 16th century by Suleiman the Magnificent. -May The best team win (us) :) [wlm] "Just light your lantern, Since one live flame is better than a thousand dead souls" -Rumi ******************************************************************************* zahi` (No subject) on: Jan 2nd, 2003, 6:03pm [slm] I wanted to change my initial answer, if I am permitted to do so. I assumed the answer to all the questions would be some place but I guess I was wrong. The FINAL ANSWER by team DynamicDuo is "Surah Yaseen". The source of our answer is http://members.tripod.com/~shahbaz786/history/dome/id39_m.htm "Saleem's son, Suleiman al-Qanuni, known throughout Europe as Suleiman the Magnificent, consolidated his domain into the greatest world power of the sixteenth century. His most remembered gift to Jerusalem, however, was the breathtakingly beautiful tile work commissioned for the exterior of the Dome of the Rock. Forty thousand tiles were fired and put into place, crowned by the inscription of Suratul YaSeen at the top..." I hope you do accept this second attempt because it would mean a lot to my li'l sister. (She emailed me this in the middle of the night :) : "Man bhaiya ..this is EmERGENCY !!!!....Bhaiya we had to name the Sooraah ..read the question ...not the place!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAARGGGHHHH...i can feel the pain ...can you ...

The Noble Rock The Noble Rock is the focus of the interior of the Dome of the Rock, situated directly beneath the lofty dome and surrounded by the highly ornate inner circular and outer octagaonal arcades.

For Allah Surely Accomplish his purpose. Verily for all things Allah appointed a due proportion. Surah Al Talaq (65), verses 2-3 ******************************************************************************* Abu_Hamza Amazing Race, Destination 1 on: Jan 5th, 2003, 5:04pm [slm] Considering the psychie of the riddler, which itself is the biggest riddle of all (:p), the answer to the riddle must be ... Israa' (chapter 17 of the Qur'an). The riddle is apparently talking about Masjid al-Aqsa, for its land is sacred, and "so may be the rock" (referring to the rock inside the Dome of the Rock from which the Prophet - Peace Be Upon Him - ascended to the 7 heavens). So the riddle is definitely about Masjid al-Aqsa (or Jerusalem, the city wherein the Masjid is located). However the riddler, because of her twisted psychie [img]http://www.jannah.org/board/images/tongue.gif[/img] , is really interested in the surah [chapter] of the Qur'an which talks about the journey for which Masjid al-Aqsa is famous - the Night Journey of the Prophet (saw). And that surah is Surah al-Israa'. So that is our final answer. - The Texan Duo (Abu Hamza & Tesseract) [img]http://www.jannah.org/board/images/cool.gif[/img] [img]http://www.jannah.org/board/images/cool.gif[/img] ******************************************************************************* Road2Jannah (No subject) on: Jan 6th, 2003, 1:34pm [slm] hey how r ya!! i just wanted to let u know me and spiritualjihad r in for the game!!! i hope this is where u send to inorder to be in the game! if not then i apologise [slm] [img]http://www.jannah.org/board/images/sister.gif[/img] ******************************************************************************* Road2Jannah assaalamualikum on: Jan 6th, 2003, 11:04pm [slm] inshallah here is our final answer me and spiritualjihad final answer= surat 17 Al-Isra ******************************************************************************* siddiqui Re: #1 on: Jan 7th, 2003, 12:28pm [slm] The place Masjid ul Aqsa (in baitul muqaddas) - The end of the Isra and begining of Miraaj for the prophet [img]http://www.jannah.org/board/images/saw.gif[/img] beautifully described in Surah 17 - Al Isra' THE NIGHT JOURNEY [wlm] " I vacillate from being sadly happy to being gladly unhappy " ******************************************************************************* Traveler ReconTeam Uthmaan and Traveler on: Jan 7th, 2003, 5:40pm [slm] Sorry to bother you again, but if you've recently checked out the entries page you'll find out that I and uthmaan have just officially entered the game.

| [slm] I am confused...you accepted both Surah Yaseen and Surah Isra as the correct answers??? I thought Surah Yasin was the one actually inscribed, and Surah Isra simply talks about the Journey itself? Also who received the bonus point? Sis, Maliha :-) [wlm] |

| [slm] Why did you accept both answers? Surah Israa was revealed there not surah Ya'sin. Dude, deduct a point from all the Surah Ya'sin people. From Madudi's intro to the surahs, for surah Yasin, he said" A study of the style shows that it was either sent down during the last stage of the middle Makkan period, or it is one of those Surahs, which were sent down during the last stage of the Holy Prophet's stay at Makkah. and for surah Israa it says: The very first verse indicates that this Surah was revealed on the occasion of Miraj (Ascension). According to the Traditions and books on the life of the Holy Prophet, this event happened one year before Hijrah. Thus, this Surah is one of those which were revealed in the last stage of Prophethood at Makkah. No cheating be fair. :) |

| :) the riddle doesnt ask what was revealed there.. it asks what is written there. "The gold dome stretches 20 metres across the Noble Rock, rising to an apex more than 35 metres above it. The Qur'anic verse 'Ya Sin' is inscribed across the top in the dazzling tile work commissioned in the 16th century by Suleiman the Magnificent. " :P |

| hmm...it seems some people interpreted "heaven's view" and "what chapter's written there" literally while others interpreted it metaphorically. for future references how are we supposed to interpret the riddles? or are both ways acceptable (as long as they make sense!) ? |

| [slm] Exactly Truthfinder:) The riddle says Look up!!!! What Chapter is WRITTEN there? *not* Revealed there... I think you should deduct a point from all other answers except Surah Yasin! Which is actually inscribed there. No cheating is allowed :P [wlm] |

| [slm] Wow you guys are ruthless :) There are numerous verses from many Surahs there. Surah Isra is there and so is Surah Yasin and so is Surah Ikhlas etc. The only complete surah is Ikhlas.. so if the riddle says what surah is written there... then again that could mean part of a surah and there are lots of those.. but the riddle also says "no need to travel for it's in the heart" that should have tipped ppl off to Yasin - which is well known to be the "heart" of the Quran. So I'm accepting any of those answers!!! Yasin was added later by the Sulimaniyes... Inscription on the Outer Face of the Octagonal Arcade S: In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone, without partner. Say: He is God, One, God, the Everlasting, who has not begotten and has not been begotten. He is without equal. [Qur'an 112] Muhammad is God's messenger, may God bless him. SW: In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone, without partner. Muhammad is God's messenger. God and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. W: 0 you who believe, send blessings on him and salute him with all respect. [Qur'an 33:56] In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone. Praise NW: to God who has not taken a son and who doesn't have any partner in dominion nor any protector out of humbleness. Magnify Him greatly. [Qur'an 17:111] Muhammad is God's messenger. N: May God, His angels and His messengers bless him and God grant him peace and mercy. In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone, without partner. NE. To Him belongs dominion and to Him belong praise. He gives life and He makes to die; He is powerful over all things. [conflation of Qur'an 64:1 and 57.2] Muhammad is God's messenger, may God bless him and accept his intercession on the day of resurrection bor his community. E: In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone, without partner. Muhammad is God's messenger, may God bless him. There built this dome the servant of God SE: 'Ab[d al-Malik, commander] of believers, in the year seventy-two, may God accept [it] from him and be pleased with him. Amen. Lord of the worlds. Praise to God. Inscription on the Inner Face of the Octagonal Arcade S: In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate. There is no god but God alone, without partner. To Him belongs dominion and to Him belongs praise. He gives life and He makes to die; He is powerful over all things. [conflation of Qur'an64:1 and 57:2] Muhammad is God's servant and His messenger. SE. God and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. 0 you who believe, send blessings on him and salute him with all respect. [Qur'an 33:56] May God bless him and grant him peace and mercy. 0 people of the book, do not go beyond the bounds in your religion, E: nor say anything but the truth about God. The Messiah Jesus son of Mary, was only God's messenger, His word that He committed to Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him. So believe in God and His messengers. Do not say 'three'. Refrain, NE: it is better for you. For God is one god. Glory he to Him - that He should have a son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. God suffices for a guardian [Qur’an 4:171]. The Messiah will not disdain to be N: God's servant; nor will the angels who are stationed near to Him. Whoever disdains to serve him and waxes proud, He will muster them to Him, all of them. [Qur'an 4:172] 0 God, bless your messenger and servant, Jesus NW: son of Mary. Peace be upon him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he is raised up alive. That is Jesus son of Mary, in word of truth, about which they are doubting. It is not for God to take a son. Glory be to Him. W: When He decrees a thing, he only says to it 'Be' and it is. God is my lord and your lord. So serve Him. This is a straight path. [Qur'an 19:34-36 paraphrased] God, His angels, and men possessed of knowledge and upholding justice bear witness that there is no god but He. There is no god but He SW: the all-mighty, the all-wise. The true religion with God is Islam. Those who were given the book did not dissent except after knowledge came to them, when they became envious of each other. Whoever disbelieves in God's-signs, God will swiftly call to account. [Qur'an 3:18-19]. |
