Names of Allah engraved on the Walls of the only European country without a Mosque!

Subhnallah, while visiting the only country in Europe which has no Masjids in order to record videos for Tafseer Surat Maryam online, I found inside their most popular and beautiful castle the names of Allah engraved on the walls!

In Slovakia, the government has banned Muslims from building any Masjids, and they are the only country that said they will only accept Christian Syrian refugees, but despite this discrimination against a small minority of 5,000 Muslims, their most famous castle, Zamok Bojnice, contains the names of Allah and Islamic history inside its walls!


I took that chance to explain to some visitors how Muslims were here during Ottoman times, as this castle was only 200km away from the Ottoman's last reach in Vienna. This part of Europe was ruled by Muslims from 1526 until 1699 when Hungary was under the Ottoman rule, and despite being defeated, the names of Allah remain on the walls despite all efforts to erase our history!

Indeed, "they want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ " (As'saf 61:8)
