Abstract

This part deals with general introductions about the nature of the
cabin and its various definitions, its purpose, its creator, the
reason for its existence, the functions and types of those booths,
and the movable booths and their forms. Inside the
congregational mosques, the cabin in the mosque for the sultan’s
prayer, he takes a fence over the mihrab and possesses it and
what follows it, in order to know what the Islamic architecture’s
quiver contains of architectural elements submerged under the
shadows of oblivion. Who took it and the following lines are
listed to find out all this and that.
