Maybe I'll just keep on talking about infinity forever

As a follow-up to this post, where I talked about the Islamic idea of infinity as embodied in architecture, here are a few pictures of the inside of a (no-longer used) mosque in Meknes. 

The second image is just zoomed in on the Arabic writing, which is the same throughout the entire mosque (100% of Arabic writing in this mosque is the expression "God is good," or something similar, I'm not entirely sure how it's translated. Laura, do you know? It seems like it says "Dear God" or "God is dear" or "God is good," I'm not sure which...)

But the whole infinity thing is pretty apparent.
