With what thoughts did those who built Hagia Sophia elevate this magnificent structure to the sky? They built this temple with the hope of gaining the approval of Allah, whom we also believe in. Aren’t the names of Prophet Jesus, Prophet Mary, Prophet John, Gabriel, Michael, and Israfil in Hagia Sophia the names we accept and affirm?

Hagia Sophia is a magnificent creation by a society that believes in Allah, aiming to gain His approval. Just as the Ottoman Empire embraced the values of the Byzantine Empire in its foundation and combined them with its own values to build a more advanced civilisation, Hagia Sophia influenced and changed the course of Turkish-Islamic architecture.
