    Thanks Erica!

    I wrote about my visit to the Hagia Sophia here: http://apairofpantiesandboxers.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/istanbuls-hagia-sophia/ and answer your question…

    Inside, there are eight huge circular wooden boards. Each one has the name of Allah, the prophet Muhammad, the first four caliphs Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali, and the two grandchildren of Mohammed, Hassan and Hussain, written on it.
