The inscription is the third oldest dated rock document of Islamic inscriptions. Its content appears similar to that of the Inscription of Zuhair (Naqsh Zuhair), which was discovered at the AlUla Governorate in Al-Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia, in which the writer documented the date of death of the Caliph Umar ibn Al-Khattab. The origins of both inscriptions can be traced back to 24 AH, which corresponds to between 644 and 645 AD.
