The second floor of the basement is like a balcony without railings and is designed to be able to see the bottom floor.
On the third and lowest floor of the basement, opposite the stairs, there are two sidewalks and, on the right, there is a marble water tank-fountain with two taps for ablution.
Its mihrab is made of marble, and its ceiling, minbar and preacher’s pulpit are made of wood.
