It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not, deep down inside we all are spiritual. If you ask me what spirituality is, it is nothing but a feeling of being closer to your own self. Close your eyes and try to talk to yourself; if you get your questions answered, you know what spirituality is all about.

About Djinguereber Mosque:
The Djinguereber Mosque or Masjid is situated in Timbuktu, Mali, Africa. The one who built this mosque, Abu Es Haq es Saheli, was paid 200kgs of gold by the emperor of the Mali Empire.
This emperor was Musa I, who adored the architectural design of the mosque. It is said that the emperor could not take his eyes off this holy and divine place when he saw it for the first time.
The history of this mosque stretches back to the 14th century (1327).
