A ''sitara'' or ''sitarah'' ( ) is an ornamental curtain used in the sacred sites of Islam. A sitara forms part of the ''kiswah'', the cloth covering of the Kaaba in Mecca. Another sitara adorns the Prophet's Tomb in the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi mosque in Medina. These textiles bear embroidered inscriptions of verses from the Quran and other significant texts. Sitaras have been created annually since the 16th century as part of a set of textiles sent to Mecca. The tradition is that the textiles are provided by the ruler responsible for the holy sites. In different eras, this has meant the Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo), Mamluk Sultans, the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, and presently the rulers of Saudi Arabia.
