- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Hagia Sophia, one of the oldest sanctuaries in history, and the temple of the emperors. With a 1,500-year history, it is one of the most important structures not only in Istanbul but also in the world, and has pioneered thousands of temples that followed. Even today, Hagia Sophia fascinates visitors walking under its dome. We take a journey into the history of Hagia Sophia.

When I entered this marvel late at night, an Imam from a mosque in Istanbul was walking and reciting some religious text. His voice seemed surreal reverberating throughout the enormous dome. It’s was so magic that everybody sat down and listened to him.
HAAAAAAA
Beautiful Greek Architecture. Long Live Byzantine!
(the final version was built by the turks.)

Why? Because it is a mosque or a great building? I'm guessing its the first. Built by Christians as a church.
I love Hagia Sophia🙌

Bizans zamanında muzemiydi? Bu Fatih'in kılıç hakkıdır. Nasıl ki Endülüsü ele geçiren hiristiyanlar, Endülüsün en büyük camiini katadrele çevirdiler.
@@zazakimezopotamya4372 Kılıç hakkı diye bir şey yok. Sen başkalarının yaptığı devasa bir yapıyı sahiplenemezsin. Endülüs önceden Hristiyandi, sonra Müslüman oldu ve tekrar Hristiyan oldu. İspanyollarin da camiyi katedral yapması doğru değildi.
@@g123flanka3 sen eski kanunları bilmezsin, bu zamana göre düşünüyorsun. Aklını biraz geriye sararsan, neyin ne olduğunu anlarsın. Ayasofya yapılmadan önce yerinde pagan tapınağının olduğunu unutma. Senin dediğini bakılırsa ayasofyayı yıkalım, pagan tapınağını tekrar inşa edelim. Bugün müslümanlar olmasaydı Ayasofya'nın yerinde yeller esiyordu. Bizans döneminde iç çekişmeler nedeniyle kaç sefer yakılıp yıkılıp tekrar yaptılar, bundan haberin yok. Ve şuanda ayakta duruyorsa Osmanlıların veya mimar Sinan'ın yaptığı destek kolonları ve sağlam ve iyi tadilatiyla ayakta duruyor, hele bundan hiç haberin yok. Yüz yıldır bağımsızlık kavramı ortaya çıkmaya başladı. Şuan dünya üzerinde belirli birkaç yer hariç kimse kendi toprağında yaşamıyor. Kavimler göçünü düşün.

Herkes birbirini ezmiş ama artık 21.yuzyildayiz. Hristiyanlara ayar vermek için senin yapmadığın binayı kendine uygun hale dönüştürmek bir erdemlik gösterisi mi? Dediğim gibi, eski eskide kaldı, eskiyi tekrar etmek erdemlik değildir.
@@g123flanka3 madem öyle, yetmiş yıl önce niye camiden müzeye çevirdiler. Bin yıllardır ibadethane olan bir yeri( pagan, katedra, cami) müzeye çevirmek o mekanın ruhuna aykırı değilmi. Müzede neymiş? Sadece o mekanın anlamını ve kullanış amacından ayırmak atıl ve ruhsuz hale getirmek demek olmuyormu. O mekana her dinde kutsiyet atfedilmistir. Onu ibadethane haricinde kullanmak onun kutsiyetine halel vermektir.

Well done Turkiye
Happy to see Αγία Σοφία well maintained and the removal of entrance fees to make this great temple accessible to the public. People of all cultures and religions should marvel at its beauty.
But I must ask a sincere question here:
Given the fact this Church was built with purpose as a place of worship and symbol for Christianity and specifically Orthodoxy, as well as the fact it has stood for over 900 years as a Christian church, shouldn’t this be reverted back to a neutral temple? I understand it is now Turkey and the temple is here, but to cover away and hide the Christian symbolism and ethos of this church so that it can be turned in to a Mosque almost feels fake and tarnishes the heritage of the church. Don’t we build better relations and corporate better with people by finding a middle ground for our differences?
The covers are only up at Pray times for 5 times a day ech time for 30 minutes. So you can see the icons when you visit.😊. I wish that one of its Corner cud be used for Orthodoxe practices. One day that will happen when Jesus comes back, Wipe out Humanity,brings the end Times?. Is that not what you people whants and pray for, believe in?.

The famous phrase "I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City (i.e., Constantinople) than the Latin mitre" ~Loukas Notaras(Prime minister) of the Byzantine Empire.
Christians had built it...but muslims had well maintained it. Respect for Turkiye for keeping it well maintained. As I know maintenance of something is much difficult. 🇧🇩💜🇹🇷 Furthermore it shows christians and muslims are closest to each other
Al Aqsa is important
Ask the Greeks what they did to ottoman mosques
It’s forceful occupation of the ancient Christian church there is no maintenance here. Christians could have maintained without help from Turks.
@Farhan don’t justify a conquest by saying ‘liberate Muslims’ and all. It was a conquest, ottomans had power they conquered it, there is no clause of religion here. If oppression was the reason then Paxtan would not have allied with China and Saudia with Israel

@Kate Iceheart what do you mean 🤔
Stop disgracing the ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wassallam!
Return the Cathedral Hagia Sophia to the Eastern Orthodox Christan Church!
Regarding the protection of churches, Allah says, {Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his (cause)} (Quran 22:40) .
Islamic scholar Ibn Khuwaiz stated that this verse included the prohibition of demolishing the churches of non-Muslim citizens, their temples, and their houses of worship.
One of the best examples of strictly safeguarding the rights of non-Muslims and their freedom to practice their religions in early Islamic history was the practice of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam. Umar was particularly sensitive to the demands of justice concerning non-Muslims living under his authority. In a famous story, Umar was invited by the patriarch of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem to pray inside the church. Umar refused, however, not out of reluctance to pray inside a church, but rather because he feared some ignorant Muslims might seize the church after him and turn it into a sort of shrine.
“If I prayed inside the church, the Muslims after me would take it and they would say: ‘Umar prayed here’,” Ibn Al-Khattab said.
This church still exists today in Jerusalem as the headquarters of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, even though it was under the authority of Muslims for centuries.
In one of the most eye-catching scenes in Egypt during the January 25 Revolution, some Egyptian Muslims were seen guarding Coptic churches while Christians pray, and, on Friday, Christians were guarding the mosques while Muslims prayed.
The recently published book "The Covenants of the Prophet Muhammad with the Christians of the World", written by Canadian religious authority, academic, and activist John Andrew Morrow, begins with a reference to these mostly neglected "literary monuments in the history of Islam." The author comments:
"Considering that the continued conflict between Christians and Muslims across the world has been artificially ignited by the forces of imperialism, especially in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, the content of these priceless historical documents can shed light on the early history of Islam. Via this information we are witness to the primordial relationship between Muslims and People of the Book. Thus, these covenants can serve as a source of inspiration for the establishment of insuperable harmony between the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
Extremists of both the Muslim and Islamophobic non-Muslim varieties try to ignore, or even deny, the covenants of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but all accept the authenticity of the Constitution of Medina. There is no doubt that in this there was a clear paragraph:
"The Jews of Banu 'Awf are one community with the believers; the Jews have their religion and the Muslims have theirs; their freedmen and their persons except those who behave unjustly and sinfully, for they hurt but themselves and their families."
The second paragraph of the covenant of the Prophet Muhammad with the Assyrian Christians states, "To the followers of Islam I say: Carry out my command, protect and help the Nazarene nation in this country of ours in their own land."
The significance of these words is that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recognized the Nazarenes (Christians) as a people and a nation existing among of the people.
Thus, it’s obvious that Islam guarantees the protection of Jews, Christians, and other non-Muslims who reside in Muslim lands. Their houses of worship should be defended from attack and their right to worship according to their choice respected.
In shorter version, the mosque of Haqia Sophia promotes Idolatry with images of Christian's saints still intact on its wall, auzubillahimin zalik

The former mosque in spain
Muslims often complained about the Great Mosque of Cordoba or Mezquita that had been converted to a Roman Catholic Church when Cordoba was captured by Christian forces in 1236. The Spaniards never deny that they did seize the mosque and convert it into a church while the Muslims on the other hand insisted that Sultan Mehmet II purchases Hagia Sophia instead of seizing it. There is no evidence that the Sultan purchase it and the Turkish government is unable to provide any document from the Ottoman Archives that proves that it did happen.
