Empty, Empty, Empty

Most prayer niches are stark affairs.  To the best of my recollection, I could not remember one that had anything except perhaps some ornamentation.

I never really thought about why that was the case but perhaps it is a subtle reminder to empty my self when turning to the Divine.  Don’t come with a full cup.

But, at last, I came upon this masjid with a special calligraphic panel inside of the mihrab.  Perhaps if I empty, empty, empty, Allah will fill me up with that which He loves.
