The inscription on the inner dome in the lobby

On the inner dome of the lobby there are 5 first ayahs of the first Surah of the Holy Qur’an “Al-Alak”:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ (1) خَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ (2) اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ (3) الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ (4) عَلَّمَ الْإِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ (5)

Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created – (1)
Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood (2)
Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful, – (3)
He Who taught (the use of) the pen, – (4)
Taught man that which he knew not. – (5)
(96th Sura of the Holy Qur’an “Al-Alak”, Ayahs from 1 to 5 )

3 hadiths from the book of Imam Bukhari “Sahih al-Bukhari” are written at the top of ayahs.

1 – Hadith

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ – رضي الله عنه – قَالَ: سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ – صلى الله عليه وسلم – يَقُولُ: “إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ.

(رواه البخاري)

It is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu’minin, Abu Hafs ‘Umar bin al-Khattab (ra) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: “Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated.”

Narrated by Imam Bukhari.

2 – Hadith

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: اَلْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ المُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَنِهِ وَ يَد

The Messenger of Allah (pbup) said, “A (true) Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe”

3 – Hadith

خَيْرُكُم مَنْ تَعَلَمَ القُرآن وَ عَلًّمَهٌ. صدق رسول الله عليه الصلوة والسلم

The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”
