I believe that King Solomon's Temple was the greatest architectural achievement in human history and it is what the mansions will look like in paradise.

The Orthodox Study Bible and the M.M. Pickthall Quran translation and several short books on hadith. I still haven't finished them but I've been getting a lot out of them. I need to get up on my Buddhist studies too as I find buddhism very edifiying and helps me achieve inner peace.

I'm currently reading my book of notes that I had inspired to me in some cases and also wrote down some really insightful observations from other books I read (about 160 laminated pages) called "sharh al lawh" or "explanation of the tablet" in english. I'm also going over some great audio...
