Ekupheleni kukaJulayi ngo-2013, sahamba nentombi e-Istanbul. Babhabha kwi-kiev, amatikiti okubhukisha kunye nehotele ibonelela nge-arhente yokuhamba, ngaphandle kwe-visa-free viment ye-visa kunye ne-turkey. Kwenziwe ngokuchanekileyo: sanikwa inkonzo ye-Shuttle yasimahla kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuya kwihotele nasemva. Kwaye sazinza kubakhenkethi kunye nembali yembali yaseIstanbul - Sultanahmet. Ukusuka kwihotele ukuya kwiAyia Sofia (ngoku iMyuziyam) kunye ne-mosque emnyama emva kwemizuzu eli-10. Ngendlela, kwihotele, njengakweyiphi na ivenkile yesulnamomp, ungayithenga imephu yeSixeko, kunye nesikhokelo sabakhenkethi. Sasinethamsanqa: Zombini imephu kunye nesikhokelo sasikwisiRashiya. Intombi yam uJulia ngokukhawuleza yafunda ngohambo lwendlela. Yajika yaba lula.
Ndiyakongeza ukuba sifumene nje kwisithuba samazulu, ngenxa yoko babeninzi abatyeleli ukusuka kwi-Islamic East.
I-mosque ye-nusque kunye nemyuziyam ye-Aya ye-Ayea ye-Afia ibekwe ngokuchaseneyo, iyokungena kwimyuziyam esiyihlawulelweyo, sityelele i-mosque simahla. Ngokuhambelana, asizange si-odola ngohambo, kodwa saziya.
I-mosque eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ithathe isigqibo seyona nto iphambili esixekweni. Ihlukaniswe ngo-4, njengazo zonke iindawo zaseMuslim, kodwa zininzi njengeminats ezintandathu. I-mosque luphawu lwe-istanbul. Nakwimagnethi, nakwiipeyisi zeTurks ezinokonwaba zibonakaliswa kwaye nge-bang zithengisa ezi zilwanyana.
Ndiphawula ukuba i-mosque yakhiwa kwikota yokuqala yenkulungwane ye-17. Ngothungelwano lweminyaka yomsebenzi, ubugcisa bobugcisa be-Ottoman kunye nezitayile zeByzantine zavela. Igama "I-Blue" Mosque ifumene umbulelo kusetyenziswa ngaphezulu kwamawaka angama-20 e-cerasion cerasion eyenziwe ngesandla. I-jiym yokuzivocavoca kwe-mosque igubungela idome ukusuka phezulu. Iinkulungwane zakhe ezinesiqingatha zihlobisa iincwadi ezivela kwiQuran nakwiingxelo ze-mohammed. Iikholamu ezine zeNgcaciso. Kwiipateni ze-mosque, zininzi izityalo. Phantsi, i-mosque ilele iikhaphethi ezibomvu ezibomvu. I-260 i-Windows inyibilikisa i-mosque eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Kukho ukukhanya kune-Aya Sofia. Kwi-michrab, i-mosque ifakwe i-mecca emnyama. IMikhraba ine-minbar, apho i-Imaam ikhuni. Inxalenye yasentshona yeMosque iya kugxininisa isebe lenzelwe ukungena kwi-Sultan. I-chain enkulu yegolide ixhonywe ekungeneni. Yayiluhlobo lophawu: ukuba ungene ngaphakathi, uRultan wanyanzelwa ukuba agobe, nto leyo efuzisela ukungakhathali komlawuli wehlabathi xa kuthelekiswa noThixo uAllah.
Phambi kokuba ungene eMosque, kukho intendelezo, ubukhulu ayiphantsi kuyo.
Ndiqaphela ukuba i-mosque isebenza. Ithetha ntoni le nto? Okokuqala, isibakala sokuba ngexesha lemithandazo egunyazisiweyo izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini bekuvaliwe ngenxa yeendwendwe ezilula. Amakholwa kunye nabangakholwayo babenqatshelwe kunye ne-Portiko, ngaphaya koko kwakungavumelekanga ukuya. Ngakumbi. Emnyango kufuneka udubule izihlangu kwaye uyeke esitratweni, okanye uthathe ibhegi elungiselelwe i-cellophane ngokukodwa kwaye ubeke izihlangu kuyo. Ngendlela, ndidlulise uhambo olupheleleyo kunye nephakheji (kwaye kuyo i-sneblers) ngesandla. Abafazi banyanzelekile ukuba bagqume iintloko zabo. Intombazana ethile ithathe kuye 2 iintloko zezihloko zasimbini. Kodwa iiturks zibubulumko: iindwendwe zinokukhetha enye yeentloko zentloko. Nokuba anazi na imithetho, ngokuqinisekileyo uya kumkhumbuza onogada. Ndilibele ukususa izihlangu, kwaye ndandinqanda kwangoko xa ndizama ukufaka iMosque. Kwakungekho zingxaki zokufota: Senze iifoto ezininzi. Ihlazo ukuba imibhalo eyenziweyo yenziwa kwiTurkey, kwaye sasingayiqondi yonke into.
Sityelele uMosque weyure ngeentsuku ezintathu. Nangona kunjalo, khumbula ukuba ngemihla yokuthandaza ivaliwe amakholwa.
Uhambo olufanayo alunakulindeleka ukuba nomdla ebantwaneni okanye kubantu bosapho. Eyona nto inokwenzeka, yenzelwe abathandi bembali, inkolo nenkcubeko, abathandayo beSilam, kunye nabantu abaneminyaka yobudala, njengoko bezolile kwaye akufuneki bahambe kakhulu, ngaphandle kwekhaphethi ebomvu. Imozulu ngokuqinisekileyo.
Ndiyithandile nyani. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, i-mosque eblowu yikhadi leshishini le-Istanbul kunye neTurkey yonke. Ngokuqinisekileyo kufanelekile ukuza. Ngendlela, yayiyi-mosque yokuqala endakhe ndaya kuyo. Ndonwabile ukuza apha kwakhona ukuze ndivise.
