Inscriptions of two verses from the Qur'an are present on the slab, Qur'anic surah XXI, verses 34-35, which are normally used on gravestones.

Famous quotes containing the word slab:
“Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
From this distance in time,
it seems the color
of iris, rotting and turning purpler,
but it was only
the usual gray rock”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
