Kindness

Mohammed Hojily was kind enough to share a few Tweets with me, which I'm going to include here on the blog in the new couple days.  You can follow him on Twitter at: @MohammedHojily.

This story was sent along by Mohammed Alzaeem.  You can follow him on Twitter at @mohammedalzaee1. "Barran Temple is a Sabaean temple near Ma'rib, Yemen; also known as the "Throne of Bilqis", the queen of Shiba whose story with the prophet Solomon is mentioned in the Bible and the Holly Qur'an. The temple is located to the west of Awwam Temple, dedicated to the God Almaqah. The main features of the structure are the six columns and the sacred well in the middle of the courtyard.
