There are no portraits of anyone or paintings of animals, as this may cause the Muslim to worship the painting instead of God. There are no statues or 'idols' for the same reason. To decorate the mosque there is patterns and often photo's/paintings of the great mosque's such as the Kabbah in Mecca. Also Muslims decorate the mosque with Scripture from the Qu'ran. In richer countries there is often a decorative carpet. Mosque's are, overall, quite plain though.

Quranic text or other information in a beautiful presentation wall hanging is common as decor.

One such Quranic decoration and information product for mosques is the canvas wall hanging available at amazon dot com and elsewhere called The Periodic Table of the Quranic Chapters . It is a unique decorative and informative product displaying amazing facts about the Quran created by a team of expert graphic art designers and lifelong Qur'anic researcher Ehsan Butt PhD.

Key amazing discoveries of the last 150 years of the worldwide research on the thematic organization of the Qur'an along with interesting facts of its history are beutifully inscribed.
