Photographer’s Note

The mosque in Qome road

Rules for mosque
When entering the mosque, a person should take off his shoes or sandals. Entering the mosque is done with the right foot first, while pronouncing blessings upon Muhammad and his family. Once inside the mosque, two rak'a (part of the salat) are to be performed. A person inside the mosque speaks softly, not loudly, so that he or she does not disturb people praying. For the Friday prayer, nice clothes and perfumes are recommended.
Women are not prevented by either the Koran or the Sunna from entering mosques, but there are regulations as to how a woman in a mosque should behave. Mosques can be segregated, either in time, or in space. But through most of Muslim history, women entering mosques have not been welcomed by men. Mosques have in many cases been closed to women, a tradition either regulated by local rules or by habit. Women have, therefore, resorted to pray in their homes.
While the salat can be performed anywhere, it is considered more meritorious when performed in the mosque, i.e. together with other people. The Sunna states that salat in the mosque is 20 or 25 times more valuable than the one performed in the home.
The Friday prayer or sermon, khutba, is considered to be compulsory for all male Muslims. The regulations for the khutba developed over a long period, approximately 2 centuries.

Salam, Sadegh!
Thanks for so useful note! Your shot is a good illustration for this information. Also it is very well captured, with perfect composition and colors. The vertical perspective is slightly exaggerated due to lens distortion, but as the workshop shows this is easy to correct. Both the original and workshopped images look very well. Good job!
Best regards,
Sergiy

I love the beautiful blue domes, we see in the your country. Rich in details, which are not very clear from this distance, the people do help in understanding of the scale. Well done!
Best Regards

Très belle image de ton grand pays un peu mystérieux pour moi. Splendide mosquée à l'architecture remarquable.
