The lighting in the room was dim and it made everyone who entered it felt the sacred, and contemplated every second that had happened at that day. At the top of the chimney-shaped room there is lafaz Allah which signs a direct connection between the people and their Creator.

Pencahayaan di dalam ruangan redup dan membuat setiap orang yang memasukinya merasakan sakral, dan merenungi setiap detik yang telah terjadi hari itu. Di ujung atas ruangan berbentuk cerobong terdapat lafaz Allah menandai adanya hubungan langsung antara hamba dengan Sang Penciptanya.
