Große Moschee von Kano

Die Große Moschee von Kano ist die zentrale Moschee in Kano, der zweitgrößten nigerianischen Stadt. Die Moschee liegt in der östlichen Innenstadt von Kano, neben dem Palast des Emirs an der Kofar Mata Road. Sie ist eine der größten Moscheen in Nigeria und zieht zum Freitagsgebet bis zu 50.000 Gläubige an, von denen viele innerhalb der Moschee keinen Platz finden und auf dem umliegenden Gelände beten. Neben der großen Moschee gibt es noch sechs weitere Moscheen in Kano. Die erste große Moschee ließ laut der Kano-Chronik im 15. Jahrhundert Muhammad Rumfa an der Stelle eines heiligen Baumes erbauen. Möglich ist auch, dass sich dort zuvor eine kleinere Moschee aus dem 14. Jahrhundert befand. Die Moschee wurde 1582 von Muhammad Zaki an eine andere Stelle versetzt und wegen ihres baufälligen Zustandes zwischen 1855 und 1883 von Abdullahi dan Dabo neu gebaut. Nachdem sie in den 1950er Jahren abgerissen worden war, förderte die britische Kolonialverwaltung 1963 den Bau der heutigen Moschee. Diese hat eine grüne Hauptkuppel und zwei Minarette.

Great Mosque of Kano

The Great Mosque of Kano (Arabic: الجامع الكبير في كانو) is a general Jumaat mosque in Kano, the capital city of Kano State and the second most populous city in Nigeria. The mosque is situated at the heart of the city. History The great mosque of Kano is the oldest mosque in Nigeria and was built for Muhammad Rumfa in the 15th-century. It was made of mud, and was of the soro, or tower, variety. Prior to Rumfa's reign and conversion to Islam, the location of the central mosque of Kano is not known, but was likely in one of two places. The first possibility is the Sharifai quarter, inhabited by the descendants of the 15th-century Berber scholar al-Maghili. The second possibility is the Yan Doya quarter, inhabited by Wangara muslims from the Mali empire. It was moved to a new site by Muhammad Zaki in 1582, and rebuilt in the mid 19th century by Abdullahi Dan Dabo. After the Sokoto jihad, Emir Suleiman, who was regarded as the Imam of Kano, led Friday prayers himself in the mosque. Subsequent emirs have delegated the authority to an appointed Imam. It was destroyed in the 1950s, and rebuilt with British sponsorship. 1980 Kano riot In December 1980, adherents of the preacher Maitatsine, known as Yan Tatsine, launched an assault on the mosque's attendees during Friday prayers in an attempt to seize control of the mosque. The conflict persisted for eleven days, initially engaging with the police and later escalating to involve the army. The intense confrontation concluded only after Maitatsine and his followers were killed defending their headquarters. The officially reported death toll surpassed 4,000, although other sources indicate a higher toll.

Grande Mosquée de Kano

La grande mosquée de Kano est un sanctuaire islamique de la ville de Kano, dans le nord de la république du Nigéria. L'édifice actuel fut construit en 1963 grâce à des fonds britanniques afin de remplacer l'ancienne mosquée du XVe siècle démolie dans les années 1950. La nouvelle mosquée s'inspire de l'architecture moyen-orientale, intégrant deux minarets élancés et une coupole centrale. La première mosquée de la ville est édifiée à la fin du XIVe siècle sur l'ordre de l'émir Sarkin Muhammad Rumfa et à l'instigation du missionnaire musulman Cabd al-Rahman al-Qasri, originaire du Maroc. Bâtie en terre crue, elle se distinguait nettement de l'architecture arabe et se composait d'une salle de prière quadrangulaire en forme de tour s'élevant sur une hauteur de presque vingt mètres. La mosquée est rebâtie sur un site différent en 1582 à l'instigation de Muhammad Zaki, puis est reprise partiellement dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle par Abdullahi dan Dabo. Le sanctuaire est détruit dans les années 1950 avant d'être remplacé dix ans plus tard par la mosquée actuelle, laquelle ne conserve aucune trace d'influence indigène.

Marea Moschee din Kano

Marea Moschee din Kano este o moschee din orașul Kano, Nigeria. Este cel mai cunoscut monument al orașului și una dintre cele mai mari moschei din Nigeria. Istorie Moscheea a fost construită pentru prima dată în secolul al XV-lea, în timpul domniei lui Muhammad Rumfa (1463-1499), sultanul din Kano. Realizată inițial din argilă, aceasta a fost una dintre primele moschei în stil sudano-sahelian de pe teritoriul Nigeriei. Construcția ei a fost rezultatul unor influențe islamice venite prin intermediul contactelor comerciale dintre Imperiul Songhai și orașele etnicilor hausa. În anul 1582, Muhammad Zaki (1582-1618) a dărâmat moscheea și a reconstruit-o mutându-i locația pe terenul unde se află în prezent. Edificiul a fost din nou reconstruit în timpul emirului Abdullah Dabo (1855-1883). După ce a fost distrusă în anul 1950, moscheea a fost reconstruită cu materiale moderne, străine arhitecturii tradiționale. Construcția a fost sponsorizată de către guvernul britanic ca un gest de prietenie și de apreciere a rolului pe care l-a jucat Nigeria în timpul Celui De-Al Doilea Război Mondial (1939-1945). Marea Moschee din Kano este un edificu important al orașului Kano și găzduiește o importantă școală de învățământ islamic. În anul 2014, pe data de 28 noiembrie, a avut loc un atentat în moschee ce s-a soldat în total cu aproximativ 160 de morți și 260 de răniți. Atentatul ar fi fost comis de către gruparea teroristă Boko Haram ce l-au acuzat pe emirul orașului, Muhammad Sanusi al II-lea, că s-a îndepărtat de învățăturile islamice.
Великая мечеть Кано

Великая мечеть Кано (англ. Great Mosque of Kano) — мечеть в административном центре штата Кано и втором по численности населения городе Нигерии. Мечеть расположена в районе Мандавари. История Великая мечеть Кано является старейшей мечетью в Нигерии и была построена для султана Мухаммада Румфы в XV веке. Сделана из глины и имеет башни. До правления Мухаммада Румфы центральная мечеть Султаната Кано располагалась в двух возможных местах. Первое возможное место: квартал Шарифаи, населённый потомками берберского учёного XV века Мухаммада аль-Магили. Второе возможное место: квартал Ян-Дойя, населённый мусульманами-вангара из империи Мали. В 1582 году мечеть перенесена на новое место султаном Мухаммадом Заки и перестроена в середине XIX века эмиром Абдуллахи. После джихада Фулани эмир Сулейману, который считался имамом Кано, и сам проводил пятничные молитвы в мечети. Последующие эмиры делегировали полномочия назначенному имаму. Мечеть была разрушена в 1950-х годах и восстановлена благодаря финансовой помощи Великобритании. Беспорядки в Кано 1980 года В декабре 1980 года сторонники религиозного деятеля Мухаммада Марвы, известные как Ян-Тацин, начали нападать на посетителей мечети во время пятничных молитв, пытаясь захватить контроль над мечетью. Конфликт продолжался в течение одиннадцати дней, сначала власти пытались его подавить с помощью полиции, а затем пришлось привлекать и армию. Интенсивное противостояние завершилось только после того, как были убиты Мухаммад Марва и его сторонники. Официальное число погибших превысило 4000 человек, хотя другие источники указывают на большее количество. Примечания
Millennium Tower (Abuja)

The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre project is one of a number of projects in the Central District of Nigeria's capital city of Abuja. At 170 metres (560 ft), it is the tallest artificial structure in Abuja. The tower was designed by Manfredi Nicoletti and is part of the Nigeria National Complex which also includes the Nigerian Cultural Centre, an eight-storey, low rise, pyramid shaped Cultural Centre. Construction for the tower started in 2006 and was topped out in 2014 whilst the cultural centre is still under construction. The site is served by a main road, so the two structures will be linked via an underground arcade. The tower consists of three cylindrical concrete pillar-like structures varying in height and linked together near the tower's first peak using a disc-shaped section that is intended to house in its two floors an observation deck and a viewing restaurant. Around the pillars of the tower, three transparent stainless steel wings wrap around the base of the tower and gradually open outwards in a fan-like fashion as they extend up the height of the tower.
