Notes
Many of the niches of Mosul’s mosques in the Ottoman era were distinguished by inscriptions on them, in the form of bands that decorated the facades of some of them, or crowned others, or sometimes filled their chests, or were decorated with inscriptions on their arches. The contents of the texts of these writings varied. Most of them contain Qur’anic verses, in addition to sometimes including the phrase monotheism, or names of notable people at other times, such as the word “God” and “Muhammad,” as well as the names of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. These writings were executed in Thuluth script using the methods of Ibn al-Bawab and Yaqut al-Mustasimi, not to mention the Thuluth script. The third line had the largest share; Due to its flexibility and compliance with the paths of the places on which it is executed, and being one of the most famous types of soft calligraphy, it is the master of calligraphy because of the embodiment, majesty and beauty it adds to the elegance of writings.

The meaning of those Inscriptions varies between Quranic Ayahs. In addition to from conjoin phrases of a monotheism. Likewise, the name of the four caliphs were also Inscription was done by the Al-thuluth Calligraphy in two methods, Ibn Albawaab and Al Mustasimi and Jaly Al-thuluth. The writer chose Al-Thuluth calligraphy because it is characterized by flexibility and softness of the writing tracks on which they write.
