We had the close up of the interior of the Baab al Fahd domes in post 80. This post has close ups of the design of the arches in the Baab al Fahd area, starting close and zooming out:

 

[Insaanah]

Calligraphy on the sub-panels below the main band, on the hateem/hijr/meezaab side of the ka'bah cover:

Right hand side:

Announce, (O Muhammad :saws unto My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful.

Left hand side:

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad :saws:], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. (2:186, part)

in the motif in the middle.

The side opposite the door (after the hateem side as you go round in tawaaf), on the left in the pic below:

Right hand side sub-panel (the only one visible on that side), here to the left of the pic:

And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allah great bounty. (33:47)

Yaa Rahmaan, Ya Raheem written in the motif before it.

Not shown is the panel further along, on the left hand side. That contains the following ayah:

If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (4:110)

On the corner where the two sides join, written in a circle within a square motif:

Surah al-Ikhlaas, with bismillaahirrahmaanirraheem in the centre.

"Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer)." [Surah Al-baqarah]

[Insaanah]

Is the triangular structure with the round calligraphy still on the top of old mihraab? I'm not sure if they show that part in the coverage.

It is, they showed it the other day, though obscured a bit by the chandeliers.

This link has a clearer picture.

The writing is from Surah Aal-'Imraan 3:37 (in red):

فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا قَالَ يمَرْيَمُ أَنَّى لَكِ هَـذَا قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ إنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

So her Lord accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariya. Every time Zakariya entered Al-Mihrab to (visit) her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam! From where have you got this?" She said, "This is from Allah." Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."

The calligraphy around the Prophets :saws: mihraab:

Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace. (33:56)

Befittingly, straight after this ayah is salawaat on the Prophet :saws:

On the right hand side is the following verse from Surah al-Baqarah:

قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَآءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. (2:144, part)

Running from left to right and across the inside as shown in this post Haramain pictures (second pic from bottom), and also in the pic below, is this ayah from Surah al-Tawbah:

[Such believers are] the repentant, the worshippers, the praisers [of Allah], the travelers [for His cause], those who bow and prostrate [in prayer], those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and those who observe the limits [set by] Allah. And give good tidings to the believers. (9:112)

There's a clearer image on this page (click on the pic to zoom in), which shows that beneath the bottom band of calligraphy are two panels, one on each side (also just visible in the pic above). The one on the right says, :saws: هذا مصلى رسول الله, and the one on the left says, qaala an-nabiyyu alayhi assalaam, as-salaatu imaad ud- deen الصلاة عماد الدين

 

[A-Brother]

Thats Amazing !

I've edited my post above (post 87) and added the second picture of the pyramidal top of the old mihraab, shown from the other side, in which the ayah is clearer, and you can see on the right, the left hand side of the current mihraab.

Also, added two more pictures of the Prophets :saws: mihraab, views from the right hand side.

Allah's name around Masjid un Nabawi (some of the pics have been shown in previous posts):

The last pic above visible here (Haramain pictures)

Also in metalwork above the grills of the Prophets :saws: rowdah. Starting close, zooming out:

It is also present at the top centre of the current mihraab, small, on black background, with gold writing, visible here:

There are other places too.

The pattern of arches in the wall around the side from the dome of Masjid un Nabawi:

Seen here from further away on the left of the building, with baab us salaam under the dome on the right:

"(It will be said to them): 'Enter therein (Paradise), in peace and security.' (Surah al-Hijr 15:46)

Plaque for Baab as Salaam on the inside of the door (the door to enter for giving ones salaams as shown in the third post on this page, post 78):

After entering Baab us Salaam, this is on the wall near the Rowdah:

It's a longer version of the hadeeth shown here:

The plaques on some of the notable pillars (ustuwaanahs).

Ustuwaana al-Mukhallaqah (also known as ustuwaana al-Hanaanah), also seen in the second picture in post 87 above, right by the Prophets :saws: mihraab:
