Istanbul Topkapi Museum Harem june 2018 6456.jpg

The harem has a mosque of its own, this is one of the pictures I took there.

The "besmele" I liked a lot. Wikipedia: "The Basmala (Arabic: بسملة‎ basmala), also known by its incipit Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله‎, "In the name of God"), is the name of the Islamic phrase bi-smi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful".

This is the phrase recited before each sura (chapter) of the Qur'an – except for the ninth."
