The Arabic words

on the circular discs include Allah, Mohammed, four caliphs (Islamic religious leaders) that succeeded Mohammed, and some others and date from the time it was a mosque. They are twenty-four feet in diameter, so you get an idea of how large the nave is. Other features that were added when it was turned into a mosque are also present.
