Burj Khalifa
The desert flower 'Hymenocallis' is stated to be the source of inspiration for the architects to draw the technical design of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest and most luxurious modern building. Traditional Islamic design has been incorporated with modern sophistication in constructing Burj Khalifa. There are 58 elevators and 8 escalators to lift a visitor to Dubai's skyline!
While trying to have a look at the top of Burj Khalifa, a question naturally arises in a Muslim's mind whether this sort of lustrous and luxurious venture is prescribed in Islam? The huge amount of money spent to build Burj Khalifa (or earlier burj Dubai) could be utilized to do more welfare-oriented works for people.
