Interior bands of calligraphy under the domes

Calligraphy forms a visual dhikr — remembrance woven in geometry. Bands encircle domes; panels anchor walls near the mihrab and minbar.


Styles & Placements

  • Thuluth scripts flow along dome drums.
  • Panels near mihrab carry verses and invocations.

Reading the Space

  • Move slowly; let script guide the gaze upward.
  • Pair tiles and calligraphy as two voices in harmony.
