Muhammad's house in Medina (A.D. 622), with its surrounding courtyard and hall with columns, became the prototype for the mosque where the faithful gathered for prayer. . Because I live in one small room with nine other people, the others usually wake up with me. It's very difficult for me to get up at 3 a.m. because I am extremely tired from working. At work, I take fresh clay from one part of the yard and put it in brick molds, which I line up in the sunshine several feet away. During the day I go back and forth about 1,000 times.
