Passing of days like, machine, in such a big and busy city like karachi, needs some rest, refreshment and entertainment, and for such entertainment, visiting of historical places is the suitable place. Along with refreshment, we got more knowledge about past and dignity of our fore fathers.
So, next week, I decided to visit Thatta, the gateway of Islamic Culture, fountain of Islamic Education and the greatest graveyard in Asia. I reached Makli, the graveyard, at about 9:30 A.M. At first, I visited the shrine of Hazarat Abdullah shah Ashabhi and offered Fateha. After that i walked in the graveyard. This graveyard is famous all over the world, so the foreigners in the graveyard were visiting and snapping photographs of the old tombs which are not repaired and as a result, the walls and domes are cracked and fallen, though this graveyard reminds us the dignity of Islamic Reign. So the government must take special care of it.
After visiting the graveyard, I took some rest and after taking meal with my younger brother, I reached the famous Shahi Masjid. The Masjid was built in the reign of the great Moghal King Shah Jahan, so it is called Shah Jahan Masjid. The famous Masjid has some peculiar things, such as the voice of the imam can be heard every where in the Masjid, without the aid of loud speaker. Many people say that nobody can correctly count the domes of Masjid, bit it is not correct, actually there are 99 domes. We offered there juma prayer. Though, I was too far from the Imam, his voice was audible to me. This proves that the Muslim masons and craftmen had scientific knowledge. Though, the world has widely developed in science and technology, but nobody can present such a peculiar type of building in present days. I bought some things from the market and at about 4:00 P.M. We started for karachi and reached at about 6:30 P.M.
