In this pattern squares are arranged to form a gear. Four of these gears form a whole around a small empty square. In the gears you can read 4 times Allah and 4 times Ahad (one) lezen alike in the earlier described square pattern. The applet below shows the construction of the tiling, starting from two squares arranged against each other.
