A GILT SPOUT IN THE STYLE OF MEEZAB-E-REHMAT, 20TH CENTURY

A gilt iron spout on the roof of the holy Kabaa, from which rainwater falls from the roof of the mosque over Hijr Ismail, the crescent-shaped area outside the Kabaa, lies between Rukn-e-Shami and Rukn-e-Iraqi ( the Iraqi corner and the Syrian), of rectangular shape and on the front, there is a pendant, which moves in forward and backward directions, with spikes on the sides that face upwards to ensure no bird gathers on its edges. A few Arabic words are scripted on the Meezab-e-Rehmat. The words – Ya Allah (Lord) and Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Raheem (In the name of the almighty Allah who is the most gracious and merciful). On both sides a rectangular panel enclosing " this Meezab was renovated by the custodian of the two holy mosques King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz", further stylised with bands of scrolling foliage.
