Maqsurah
Maqsurah (Arabic مقصورة) (literally "closed-off space"), an enclosure, a box or wooden screen near the mihrab or the center of the qibla wall, which was originally designed to shield a worshipping ruler from assassins.〔("Maqsurah" ), ''Encyclopædia Britannica Online''〕 The imam officiating inside the maqsurah typically belonged to the same school of law to which the ruler belonged.〔Gibbs, H.A.R. ''The Travels of Ibn Battuta'' (Munshiram Manoharlal, 1999) p127〕 There also may have been some spiritual connotation similar to the chancel screen in churches. They were often wooden screens decorated with carvings or interlocking turned pieces of wood (similar to a mashrabiya).〔(''Dictionary of Islamic Architecture'' )〕 Historically, it was first used by the Umayyad caliph Muawiyah I in the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, where the so-called "Mihrab of the Companions (of the Prophet)" belonged to the "Maqsura of the Companions".〔("The Great Ummayad Mosque" )〕 ==References== 〔
