People talk of the taaj Mahal with regards to its beauty, but the construction of Masjidun Nabawi shareef in the uthmaani era has no comparison.
When the Turks decided to expand the Haram Shareef they called all the master craftsmen ,and housed all of them in a town outside Istanbul.
Each master craftsman was instructed to teach his art to one of his offspring,this one child was then taught the sciences of Deen and made a Hafiz of The Holy Quran by the Government,for 25 yrs he was taught uloome Deen .
After 25 years a whole army of young scholars and master craftsmen were ready ,500 in total .
Mines for new stones were procured,and decorated glass was also obtained .
All the Materials were sent to the Blessed lands and stored at a distance from Madinah tul Munawwarah so that the Most Beloved صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم and the dwellers of the nucleus not be disturbed .
In the instance of a slab of Stone not fitting plush, the stone would be taken back to the workshop and corrected to avoid any kind of noise .
All craftsmen were instructed to be in wudu at all times and the recitation of the Holy Quran and sending blessed salawaat upon the Most Beloved صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم should be done at all times .
The Blessed golden gates were covered in cloth so that any speck of dust did not land on them ,this huge project lasted 15 years , سبحان الله this extension Is an example in history to be done with complete love and devotion to the Most Beloved صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم
