West Entrance

This is the entrance that faces the main gate. Excerpts from the 1st Chapter of the Quran outline in script the entryway. The script is very elegant … and is slightly larger at the top than at the bottom, so that when standing on the courtyard surrounding the monument, all elements of the script appear to be the same size.

Scripts quoting the Quran are around all of the entrances, and throughout the inside of the building. According to our guide, most of the first 15 chapters are quoted somewhere in the building.
