| [slm] I was looking for the prophet [saw] and china. However I gave half credit if you said Persia/Iran because Saad did make a journey there. If you said china and not the prophet [saw] that was also half a credit. The bonus point however goes to Team Dynamic Duo for the first completely correct answer. -Phil PS- sorry for the delay i couldn't let all that good ice cream go to waste :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abu_Atheek Answer to RACE to Destination #3 on: Jan 15th, 2003, 10:29pm [slm] Answer to RACE to Destination #3 from Abu Atheek and Sajida: The land is Persia to which Saad ibn Abi Waqqas was sent as the Commander and the Sage (Wise) from Persia is Salman Al Farsi. May Allah Almighty be pleased with both of them. Sad Ibn Abi Waqqas Sad is mainly renowned as the commander-in-chief of the strong Muslim army which Umar despatched to confront the Persians at Qadisiyyah. Umar wanted nothing less than an end to Sasanian power which for centuries had dominated the region. Umar had instructed Sad to send him regular despatches about the condition and movements of the Muslim forces, and of the deployment of the enemy's forces. Sad wrote to Umar about the unprecedented force that the Persians were mobilizing and Umar wrote to him: "Do not be troubled by what you hear about them nor about the (forces, equipment and methods) they would deploy against you. Seek help with God and put your trust in Him and send men of insight, knowledge and toughness to him (the Chosroes) to invite him to God... And write to me daily." Details from: http://web.umr.edu/~msaumr/reference/companions/English/waqqas.html Salman al-Farsi As a scholar, Salman was noted for his vast knowledge and wisdom. Ali said of him that he was like Luqman the Wise. And Ka'b al-Ahbar said: "Salman is stuffed with knowledge and wisdom?an ocean that does not dry up." Salman had a knowledge of both the Christian scriptures and the Qur'an in addition to his earlier knowledge of the Zoroastrian religion. Salman in fact translated parts of the Qur'an into Persian during the life-time of the Prophet. He was thus the first person to translate the Qur'an into a foreign language.

Covering an area of 2966 square meters, the mosque is composed of Imam Hall, Storehouse of Islamic Scripture, Chapel Hall and Baptismal Hall. An important feature is the minaret, which is 36 meters in height with a pointed tip. It is a typical Arabic architectural style. In the past sailors often climbed the minaret to observe weather conditions before going to sea and in night, the minaret used to serve as a beacon for the boats on the Zhujiang River. Hence the name Light Tower.
