At the top of the hermitage, a long beam was erected, at the top of which was a stick like an arm, and at its two ends were two small balls, above which were two large glass lamps that illuminated throughout the sahur time. When the time of sahur come to end, the muezzin lowers the two lamps from the top of the stage and begins to call the call to prayer. As a result of the expansion of the area of ​​Mecca Al-Mukarramah and the distance of many of its houses from the place where the lantern of sahur is located, Ibn Jubayr mentioned the high of Mecca houses, the two lanterns make the people who did not hear the call for sahur, see those lanterns light at the top of the hermitage, and if they did not see them, they realize that the time of sahur has ended.
