La décoration du minaret est assez simple et masquée par plusieurs couches de chaux. Elle est constituée d’une série d’arcatures aveugles polylobées semi-circulaires et brisées à claveaux alternés. Le couronnement est à merlons triangulaires et la lanterne est de dimension réduite.

The word ‘Ramadan’ is derived from the Arabic word Ramdh (رمض), which means, ‘intensely hot’ or ‘burning’. The month of Ramadan is named as such for three reasons:
• One who fasts becomes hot due to thirst.
• Worship and devotion in this month burns away the traces of sin.
• Devotion in this month produces the necessary warmth of love in man for his Creator and fellow beings.
