Sinan raised three hundred works of light
Mimar Sinan, chief Ottoman architect of the sixteenth century, built more than three hundred structures, among them the Suleymaniye and the Selimiye. His domes were engineered with such precision that they have stood through centuries of earthquakes in a region that has them often.

تَوْحِيدُ الأُلُوهِيَّة
Tawhid al-Uluhiyyah
Oneness of worship: that prayer, vows, sacrifice, hope and fear are directed to Allah alone.
This is the part the messengers were sent with, and the part people have always argued over. To believe Allah made you is one thing; to bring every act of worship to Him and to no one else is another. Its exact opposite is shirk.

النار المقدسة
Musa: Fire of Sinai (Tuwa)
The sacred valley of Tuwa. The staff became a serpent.
You go out for an ember; Allah may have written a mission
