What’s particularly striking in this picture is the sheer number of people gathered. Those black and white dots represent millions of Muslim men and women who have come to worship and strive for personal growth. It’s a sight unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. There’s currently an oversupply of office space in the US, and the profitability of constructing extremely tall towers isn’t always clear. Not everyone may be willing to traverse 125 floors of elevators. We prioritize building what is practical and hopefully sustainable.
Need to say this!! People such as myself go to Ka’aba and try to create images that are lasting. Not so very long ago, it was prohibited to take cameras into Ma’taf. It is okay now! if there is some fatwa to promulgate your affiliation and heartfelt love. However, on the flip side, we may unintentionally be fulfilling prophecies of the End of Times. Regrettably, Saudis constructed the world’s ugliest skyscraper next to it, detracting from the beauty of the entire mosque. And most Muslims also disapprove of what’s happening in Mecca in terms of construction. The clock has nothing but to remind you of the end of times.
