ملاحظات	This mosque lamp was made for Qijlis, a high official who had been the sultanâs armourer. His emblem was a sword, which can be seen in the large roundels. Between the roundels is a quotation from the Qurâan that mentions âthe mosques of Godâ. Before the introduction of electricity, lighting was an expensive luxury. Providing lighting in an Islamic religious building was therefore seen as an act of generosity to the community that would be rewarded by God. Donors paid for lamps and the supply of oil and wicks they required. During Mamluk rule (1250-1517) in Egypt and Syria, donors commissioned lamps and lamp-holders of glass and metal that were often large and impressive. Inscriptions recorded the donorsâ names.
نص عينة	Inscription of Qur'an IX, 18 on neck and 'This is what was made a waqf by the servant yearning for God, the Exalted, hoping for the pardon of his generous Lord, Qijlis (officer), of al-Malik al-Nasir' and three medallions on neck bear coats of arms - emblems of the armour-bearer.
