A type of niche in the innermost wall of a mosque. It indicates the qibla (the direction of Mecca), is framed by an arch, and is often beautifully decorated with marble, stucco, tiles, mosaics, etc. It is said that the first was installed in a mosque in Medina in 694, and is presumed to have been established in the early Islamic period. There are various theories about its origin, but the most widely accepted one is that it can be found in the apse, the innermost part of a Christian church.
