English and French churches in Gothic style were constructed of stone masonry with pointed arches, ribbed vaults and a buttressing system to counteract the outward thrust of the stone vaults and the weight of the timber roofs. English Gothic cathedrals tend to be long and moderately high. Salisbury is 82 feet from the floor to the apex of the high vault. Cathedrals in such French towns as Chartres, Reims and Amiens are exceedingly tall, from 100 to 120 feet to the apex of the vault.

When and where did Muhammad first receive words from Allah?

Ksivusya [100]

In the Islamic faith, Muhammad is the holy prophet and Allah is the only god. Muhammad began the Islamic faith in 610 AD, when the archangel Gabriel visited him in a cave. The cave is more specifically called Hira, and is in the mountain called Jabal an Nour. During this visit, Gabriel revealed the first words of the Qur'an (the holy book of Islam) to Muhammad, who then began to spread this faith.
