Highlights of Istanbul


Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque (Called Sultanahmet Cami in Turkish) is a historical mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is known as the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design. Mosque was built between 1609 and 1616 years, during the rule of Ahmed I. just like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasa and a hospice. Besides still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction in Istanbul.

Hagia Sophia

The Hagia Sophia in its glory was one of the most stunning buildings of its time. It was the centre of Christendom at the then called Constantinople. After the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453, Mehmed II had it repurposed as a mosque, with the addition of a wooden minaret and an incredible chandelier. In 1934 Turkish President Kemal Atatürk secularized the building, and in 1935 it was made into a museum.

The Cause

Children of the World

750 million people worldwide remain illiterate, with a fifth of children not attending school; help us rebuild young lives today for a better tomorrow.

For many children worldwide, a loving family home and good education remain a dream, and they are forced to work long hours to fund their families. Millions of children do not even have a house and are forced to live on the street.

At Muslim Charity, we want every child to be able to enjoy being just that, a child. We want to protect those most vulnerable and allow them to thrive in a safe environment. With your help, we can provide shelter, education and loving homes and equip them with the skills and knowledge to better their lives and communities.
