Al-Haram Mosque Makkah New Design

Abstract:
Makkah attracts a large number of Muslims for pilgrimage throughout the year whose number reaches in millions during Hajj and Ramadan. They all want to pray in Al Haram (the Grand Mosque), which has the extended capacity of one million but still falls short during peak periods. The paper discusses the planning issues and the salient features of the urban design scheme prepared to address these issues with particular reference to increasing the prayer space. The resolution of traffic conflicts and facilitation of massive pedestrian movements to and from Al Haram have also been discussed. The paper assesses the provision of other services required for millions of pilgrims. It evaluates the implementation of the scheme undertaken by the public and the private sectors including the first redevelopment project completed to provide residential/commercial facilities in close proximity to Al Haram. The focus of evaluation remains on the achievement of the objectives of the scheme.

Have we not made the earth as a bed and the mountains as its pegs? (78:6-7)
We placed firmly embedded mountains on the earth, so it would not move under them… (21:31)
Jabal Omar after Fajr last Juma’ah. Another magnificent firmly embedded mountain in the process of becoming rubble and dust, for so called progress. Looking somewhat insignificant in this photo with the edge of the Intercontinental on the left and Makkah Firdous, the hotel we were staying in on the right. For two years earth moving equipment, massive lorries and giant drills have been hacking away at this solid rock sculpting out the foundation for the Jabal Omar Project. I have posted this before, but do so again as a revision, a reminder….a reminder that the signs of Qiyamah are falling like the beads of a broken necklace, words to the effect from our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
Detail of the above, and below is the google image of what remains of this weeping mountain….
….destined to be transformed into a megalopolis greater in area than the Sacred Haram of Makkah, housing the Ka’abah. (the white edge of the courtyard on the left, the rectangular building is the Intercontinental, and the Makkah Firdous across from this)
The following are architectural renderings of the completed project. (JazakiLlahu khairan to Ukhti Farhanah for sharing some of these) Note…the smudgy brown area to the right, inbetween Haram and the Jabal Omar complex is the gigantic seven tower Abraj al-Bait, sitting on what once was another of Makkah’s magnificent mountains.



More pictures here….take a little time to digest the mammoth scale of how Makkah as we may know it now is rapidly morphing into just another 21st century ritzy jungle of steel, concrete and glitz. And here and here to see another projected carve up called Darb al-Khalil, and not to leave Al-Shamiyah out. (more impressions on this area at a later date)
And this….errrr…..this is the planned new Ajyad Hospital….but steady….only seven floors will be the actual hospital….while the major part of the building will be…just what we do not have enough of….more exclusive hotel accommodation and shopping areas! Tut tut tut….this cynical burst is an attempt at smothering the deep grief. AstaghfiruLlah. Ya Allah Ya Lateef.

So time to play….. here is the link to the Wikimapia of Makkah for you to play with to become familiarized with what is where in relation to Haram. A good resource for those planning to be here for Hajj, Insha’Allah.
….back to sanity….and serenity….Umrah yesterday!!!! Click on image for article.
"There is no God save Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, Allahu Akbar. O Allah, You are Al-Salam and from You is peace. And Your House is the House of Peace. Blessed O You the Owner of Glory and Generosity. O Allah, this is Your House which You have gratified and honoured and glorified, O Allah, endow this House with more glory, honour, dignity and respect, and grant all those who come to it for Hajj or Umrah piety and dignity. O Allah, opne for me the Doors of Your mercy and make me enter Your Jannah and protect me from the accursed Shaitan. Ameen."
"O Allah, send blessings and Peace upon our Master and Patron Muhammad, The Owner of the Crown and the Ascent and the Buraq and the Standard, The Repeller of Affliction and Disease and Drought and Illness and Pain. His name is written on high, served and engraved in the Tablet and the Pen, The Leader of All, Arabs and non-Arabs, Whose body is sanctified, fragrant, and pure, Illumined in the House and the Haram, The Sun of Brightness, the Full Moon in Darkness, The Foremost One in the Highest Fields, the Light of Guidance, The Cave of Refuge for Mortals, the Lamp That Dispels the Night, The Best-Natured One, The Intercessor of Nations, The Owner of Munificence and Generosity. Allah is his Protector, Gabriel is his servant. The Buraq is his mount, the Ascent is his voyage, The Lote-Tree of the Furthermost Boundary is his station, Two Bow-Lengths or Nearer is his desire, His desire is his goal, and he has found his goal, The Master of the Messengers, the Seal of the Prophets, The intercessor of sinners, the friend of the strangers, The Mercy for the Worlds, The rest of those who burn with love, the goal of those who yearn, The sun of knowers, the lamp of travellers, The light of Those Brought Near, The friend of the poor and destitute, The master of Humans and Jinn, The Prophet of the Two Sanctuaries, The Imam of the Two Qiblas, Our Means in the Two Abodes, The Owner of Qaba Qawsayn, The Beloved of the Lord of the Two Easts and the Two Wests, The grandfather of al-Hasan and al-Husayn, Our patron and the patron of Humans and Jinn: Abu al-Qasim MUHAMMAD Son of `Abd Allah, A light from the light of Allah. O you who yearn for the light of his beauty, Send blessings and utmost greetings of peace Upon him and upon his Family." From here.


All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.

Assalamu'alaikum w.w.
from my opinion as just a local n humble architect from Indonesia, i just a little bit disagree for the greater al-haram mosque design as seen in the photo. The spirit of hajj is thawaf (cycling the ka'bah 7 times) n sa'i. The design pattern should be circle lines cycling around the ka'bah (put aside the geographical constraints), not an axis. And as showed in the photo, the axis ended at three skyscraper building (did this image of trinitas in christianity?

Wa'alaikum salam
