In addition to its function as a directional indicator it is thought that the first mihrab niches had a ceremonial or ritual function associated with symbols of royalty. Certainly the mihrab became a focus for architectural decoration and was often embellished with the latest artistic techniques (e.g. stucco, polychrome glazed tiles, carved woodwork, glass mosaic, marble inlay). 31. The designs were usually epigraphic and often geometric or vegetal, but never with any suggestion of figurative imagery. 32. There is also an early association of mihrab and minbar, with the minbar placed next to the mihrab possibly to lend spiritual authority to the sermon. In some areas such as EastAfrica the mihrab is linked to a recessed minbar niche so that the imam climbs the minbar by entering a door in the side of the mihrab.This arrangement, however, is extremely unusual as the mihrab should be kept free of any mystical connotations 33. mihrab 34.

The minbar is situated to the right of the mihrab and consists of a raised platform reached by a set of steps, often there is a door at the entrance to the steps and a dome or canopy above the platform 39. minbar 40. the oldest Islamic pulpit in the world to be preserved intact is the minbar of the Great Mosque of Kairouan (in the city of Kairouan inTunisia).
