text:
A khalwa, is an Islamic solitary space or cell (zawiya) set aside as a place for retreat and spiritual exercise. A considerable number of small khalwa structures were built on the esplanade of Al-Aqsa from 956 onwards, many founded by local Ottoman dignitaries and echoing a similar vaulted form supporting one or two domed chambers. The underground prayer chambers in the traditional mosques of central Arabia (Najd) are also called khalwa, while among the Druze, a prayer house is known as a Khalwa
