“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” ~ Rumi

This is truly shocking - even more considering Vincent Van Gogh lived in poverty, isolated and malnourished (which affected his mental health) and only sold one painting during his lifetime.

Ticket prices for Vincent Van Gogh exhibition at the Tate.

Art institutions will always let you know exactly who they want in their space and who they are trying to keep out.

View of Amman and King Abdullah I Mosque with its blue dome, built on the orders of the late King Hussein of Jordan as a tribute to his grandfather. This mosque welcomes non-Muslim visitors. Don’t let the briefly bright blue sky in that picture fool you - today was cold.

طلع البدر علينا من ثنيات الوداع

وجب الشكر علينا ما دعا لله داع

أيها المبعوث فينا جئت بالأمر المطاع

جئت شرفت المدينة مرحباً يا خير داع

طلع البدر علينا : أنشدها النساء والأطفال في استقبال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم عند وصوله إلى مشارف المدينة

Masjid Quba (Quba Mosque) was first renovated by Uthman Ibn Affan from Banu Umayya clan (sons of Umayya ibn Abd Shams) of the Quraysh tribe, he was a son-in-law and notable sahabi (companion) of our Prophet ﷺ and the 3rd of al-Khulafā’ur-Rāshidūn, the four Rightly Guided Caliphs

[The Art Curators @theartcurators]

Masjid Quba, on the outskirts of Madinah, is the first mosque ever built, the oldest mosque in the world, built by our Prophet ﷺ after his arrival in Madinah from Makkah. They made changes recently (like 3 months ago), it’s now open all night/24hrs for worshippers. #saudiarabia

[The Art Curators @theartcurators]

We drove yesterday to Madinah (our first all girls road-trip drive here 😭!), prepared snacks and water to avoid stops. Pics we can share: yesterday’s sunset, masjid al-Nabawi this morning, masjid Quba and mount Uhud. No words/photos can describe the feelings of being here ❤️
