Summary[edit]

Description
English: Plaque on the western wall of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. The text is from the 36th and 37th verses of the surah of the Light (النور):

36. (It is) in houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted and His name to be remembered therein. Therein do glorify Him, in the mornings and the evenings,
37. Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts -- from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up -- of prayer and the paying of the poor-rate. [...]

Follows a mention of the restoration of the mosque by Hafez al-Assad in 1414 AH, that is 1993.
Français : Plaque sur le mur ouest de la Grande mosquée des Omeyyades de Damas. Le texte est extrait des 36ème et 37ème versets de la sourate de la Lumière (النور) :

36. Dans Les maisons que Dieu a permis d’élever pour que son nom y soit répété chaque jour au matin et au soir,
37. Célèbrent ses louanges des hommes que le commerce et des contrats ne détournent point du souvenir de Dieu, de la stricte observance de la prière et de l’aumône. [...]

Suit une mention de la restauration de la mosquée par Hafez el-Assad en 1414 (année de l'Hégire), soit en 1993.
