Alexandria, "The Pearl of the Mediterranean"

The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria, known as "The Pearl of the Mediterranean", with a population of 4.1 million, is the second-largest city in Egypt, and is the country's largest seaport, serving about 80% of Egypt's imports and exports. Alexandria is also an important tourist resort.


    Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in

April 331 BC. Alexandria became the capital of  Graeco-Roman Egypt until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in AD 641 when a new capital was founded at Fustat (Fustat was later absorbed into Cairo).
   
    In ancient times, Alexandria was one of the most famous cities in the world. Alexandria was known because of its lighthouse (Pharos), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; its library (the largest library in the ancient world); and the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. Ongoing maritime archaeology in the harbour of Alexandria, which began in 1994, is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named Rhacotis existed there, and during the Ptolemaic dynasty.

    This section of Alexandria is known to us more from books then what we may actually see in the area. Where the  Pharos Lighthouse once stood, is now occupied by the Fort of Quit Bay ,out on the area that circles up around the top of Eastern Harbor forming the eastern section of the top of the T. Heading south from the Fort of Quit Bay, we come to the stunning Abu El-Abbas Mosque .West of this is the Anfushi Tombs , some of the oldest in Alexandria and well worth a visit.

    Most of the citizens of Alexandria adhere to the religion of Islam. The most famous mosque in Alexandria is Abu el-Abbas el-Mursi Mosque in Anfoushi. Other notable mosques in the city include Ali ibn Abi Talib mosque in Somouha, Bilal mosque, El-Gamee el-Bahari in Mandara, Hatem mosque in Somouha, Hoda el-Islam mosque in Sidi Bishr, El-Mowasah mosque in Hadara, Sharq el-Madina mosque in Miami, El-Shohadaa mosque in Mostafa Kamel, Qaed Ibrahim mosque, Yehia mosque in Zizinya, Sidi Gaber mosque in Sidi Gaber, and Sultan mosque.

Try Not To Cry

You, you’re not aware,

That we’re aware

Of your despair

Don’t show your tears

To your oppressor

Don’t show your tears



CHORUS:

Try not to cry little one

You’re not alone

I’ll stand by you

Try not to cry little one

My heart is your stone

I’ll throw with you



Isam:

‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath

This very same place that we be at

Passing through the sands of times

This land’s been the victim of countless crimes

From Crusaders and Mongols

to the present aggression

Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression

If these walls could speak,

imagine what would they say



For me in this path that I walk on

there's only one way

Bullets may kill, bones may break

Still I throw stones like David before me and I say



CHORUS


You, you’re not aware

That we’re aware

Of your despair

Your nightmares will end

This I promise, I promise



CHORUS


Lenny:

No llores, no pierdas la fe

La sed la calma el que haze

Agua de la arena

Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras

Haz hecho mares de este polvo

Don’t cry, don’t lose faith

The one who made water come out of the sand

Is the one who quenches the thirst

And you who rise proud from between the stones

Have made oceans from this dust



Waqas:

I throw stones at my eyes

’cause for way too long they’ve been dry

Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs

I throw stones at my tongue

’cause it should really keep its peace

I throw stones at my feet

’cause they stray and lead to defeat

A couple of big ones at my heart

’cause the thing is freezing cold

But my nafs is still alive

and kicking unstoppable and on a roll

I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him

But first at the man in the mirror

so I can chase out the venom



Isam:

Hmm, a little boy shot in the head

Just another kid sent out to get some bread

Not the first murder nor the last

Again and again a repetition of the past

Since the very first day same story

Young ones, old ones, some glory

How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?

Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!

If these walls could speak,

imagine what would they say

For me in this path that I walk on

there’s only one way

Bullets may kill, bones may break

Still I throw stones like David

CHARITY(AMAL)

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that he heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saying, "On every joint of man, there is charity, on everyday when the sun rises: doing justice between two men is charity, and assisting a man to ride an animal or to load his luggage on it is charity; and a good word is charity, every step which one takes towards (the mosque for) prayer is charity, and removing harmful things from the way is charity." (Reported by al-- Bukhari and Muslim)

On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported: Some people said to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken away (all the) reward. They observe prayer as we do; and give charity out of their surplus wealth." Upon this he (the Prophet (may peace be upon him)) said, "Has Allah not prescribed for you (a course) following which you can (also) give charity? In every declaration of the glorification of Allah (i.e., saying Subhan Allah) there is a charity, and in every Takbir (i.e., saying Allahu Akbar) is a charity, and in every celebration of praise (saying al-- hamdu lillah) is a charity, and in every declaration that He is One (La ilaha illallah) is a charity, and in enjoining of good is a charity, and in forbidding evil is a charity, and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife) there is a charity." They (the Companions) said, "O Messenger of Allah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual need among us?" He said, "You see, if he were to satisfy it with something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to satisfy it legally, he should be rewarded."
(Reported by Muslim)

Egoism

`Abdullah bin Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, "You will see after me favoritism and things which you will disapprove of." They submitted, "What do you order us to do (under such circumstances)?" He replied,"Discharge your obligations and ask your rights from Allah."
(Reported by al-- Bukhari and Muslim)

Peace And Love

On the authority of Abu 'Abdul - Rahman 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported: I can still recall as if I am seeing the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) resembling one of the Prophets whose people scourged him and shed his blood, while he wiped blood from his face, he said: "O Allah! Forgive my people, because they certainly do not know." (Reported by Al - Bukhari and Muslim)

THE WORLD IS SWEET AND GREEN.

On the authority of Abu Sa`id al-- Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said, "The life of the world is sweet and green. Allah makes you generations succeeding one another so that He may try you in respect of your actions. So beware of the beguilements of the world and those of women. The first trial of Banu Israel was through women."
(Reported by Muslim)

The strong man

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, "The strong man is not one who is good at wrestling, but the strong man is one who controls himself in a fit of rage."
(Reported by Al-- Bukhari and Muslim)
