The Wazir Khan Mosque (Masjid Wazir Khan) in Lahore, Pakistan, is celebrated for its extensive faience tile work. It has been described as 'a beauty spot on the cheek of Lahore'. It was built in seven years, starting around 1634-1635, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. It was built by Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, a native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah Jahan and later, the Governor of Lahore. He was commonly known as Wazir Khan. The mosque is located inside the Inner City and is easiest accessed from Delhi Gate. (Photo by: Atif Gulzar/Pictures From History via Getty Images)

The Registan contains three madrasahs (schools), the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417-1420), Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646-1660) and the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619-1636). The Tilya-Kori Madrasah was built in the mid-17th century by the Shaybanid Amir Yalangtush. The name Tilya-Kori means gilded or gold-covered, and the entire building is lavishly decorated with elaborate geometrical arabesques and sura from the Quran both outside and especially within. A magnificent turquoise dome rises over the left (western) side of the building, decorated inside with gilded Quranic inscriptions and delicate muqarnas hanging stalactite decorations. The interior of the madrasah comprises rooms for students with accompanying vestibules surrounding three-sides of a square courtyard, while a domed mosque occupies the fourth. The dome rises in four stages. A rectangular plinth forms the primary prayer hall and rises above the madrasa walls. Next, two terraced octagonal tiers rise to support a high cylindrical drum. The

From 'Cermin mata bagi segala orang yang menuntut pengetahuan' (Spectacles for Those who Seek Knowledge). Jawi is an adapted Arabic alphabet for writing the Malay language. It developed in and around Malaya from about 1300 CE about the same time as Islam arrived. Jawi is one of the two official scripts in Brunei and Malaysia for the Malay language. However, nowadays it has all but been replaced by a Roman script called Rumi; Jawi is usually only seen as a script for religious and cultural purposes. Day-to-day usage of Jawi is maintained in more conservative Malay-populated areas such as Sulu in the Philippines, Pattani in Thailand and Kelantan in Malaysia.

Kufic is the oldest calligraphic form of the various Arabic scripts and consists of a modified form of the old Nabataean script. Its name is derived from the city of Kufa, Iraq. although it was known in Mesopotamia at least 100 years before the foundation of Kufa. At the time of the emergence of Islam, this type of script was already in use in various parts of the Arabian Peninsula. It was in this script that the first copies of the Qur'an were written. Kufic is a form of script consisting of straight lines and angles, often with elongated verticals and horizontals. It is still employed in Islamic countries though it has undergone a number of alterations over the years and also displays regional differences. The difference between the Kufic script used in the Arabian Peninsula and that employed in North African states is very marked.

Tile Panel 13th century These four tiles were once part of the decoration that framed the mihrab (prayer niche) of a religious building in Iran. The text is from the Qur'an, Chapter 48, verses 1-4 (sura "of Victory"). The gaps in the passage allow the hypothetical reconstruction of the position of the single tiles within the mihrab's frame. In addition to the fine floral scrolls and the details on the foliate elements, the birds seen here are characteristic of Kashan luster painting and, sometimes, are found in conjunction with prayer niches. Therefore, we should not be surprised to see them combined with a Qur'anic inscription.. Tile Panel 446200
