Burj Khalifa (Burj Dubai)
Thousands of cheering, clapping spectators watched as a tally projected on huge screens at the opening ceremony revealed the tower's most closely guarded secret -- its height of 2,717 feet (828 metres). That made it more than 1,000 feet (305 metres) higher than the skyscraper known as Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which at 1,667 feet (508 metres) had been the world's tallest since 2004.
Comment:
IT’S A brilliant and excellent achievement, the ‘tallest building’ in the world, right here in Dubai. It’s a monumental landmark since the fall of the Ottoman Empire in Turkey, and the continual downfall of Muslim intellects, but their raise especially in the 1990s and 2000s are also encouraging. With Muslim countries producing many local intellects.
Thus, I would just wish that Dubai, United Arab Emirate, Saudi Arabia, and other oil rich countries in the middle-east would provide generous ‘International Scholarships’ to international students (especially Muslim), so that they can take up academic candidature (or residential) at established universities in the middle-east and/or in Europe, USA, UK, Japan, South Korea, and so forth.
It is only through these generous scholarships offer to deserving Muslim that the world Muslim intellect can grow and prosper, and once again redeem the excellency of the teaching of Islam, which promote not only the teaching of the verses of the Quran and Sunnah, but also the development of science and technology - knowledge and innovation.
The tallest building doesn’t mean anything to other Muslim if it just stand where it is and not baring any ‘fruits’ to its inhabitants or other Muslim.
The tallest building doesn’t mean anything if it is just mean only for ‘showmanship’, that costs billions of dollars.
