Doesn't any one find it odd that every other day we have these competitions going on:

* The biggest mosque in the world
* The oldest mosque in the world
* Mosque with the highest capacity in the world

Is it just me, or most of these "capacity" threads seem a bit juvenile in nature? What does god care about the size or age of mosques and places of worship. I think he must be like, where did I go wrong.

A case in point, in Saudi Arabia, Mecca, the house of Saud goes and builds a 1.5 BILLION dollar, watchtower! WTF IS UP

We already have plenty of Masjid and I am sure more will be build.

When are we going to produce some world class universities? An educated Muslim is many time better than illiterate one.

Its beatific to know. It will change our knowledge about history of south asia a bit. This clearly proves that one of the oldest international maritime route was through BD.

Exactly. But you should know about your history. That might give you some insight of your capability and make you realize how much you did digress from your right course.

The History of Islam in China began when three Sahabas- Sa’ad ibn abi Waqqas (b.594-d.674 AD), Sa’id ibn Zaid (b.594- d.673 AD) and Qais ibn Sa’d (d.682 AD)preached in 616 after coming by sea from Abyssinia, reaching Chittagong port and hinterland Kamrup-Manipur (northeast India) in 615 where they preached for some time and then they reached China by land route. Trade existed between pre-Islamic Arabia and China‘s South Coast, and flourished when Arab maritime traders converted to Islam. It reached its peak under the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

the mosque was found in the north of the country built in 7th century. Arab sailors used to go to china through these rivers originated in china..conversion from hinduism toIslam began that time! There goes the myth of forceful conversion about which indians remind us every other day!

How much of all this was written on the Mosque ?
