Inspirations required for an Islamic theme water feature in this area

What is going through my mind is a 1960s brutalist geometric design utilising Multani tiles

this is the view from the house

what you want to explain it is just view of a building....not any garden

To explain is easy

I want to install a water fountain in the courtyard, specifically in the diamond shaped area in the first picture.

The pictures of the house are to show the location of the water feature in relation to the house and the aesthetic qualities it needs to meet

I realise some people may see this as being at odds with a gardening forum but I have already designed and installed the garden including
a perimeter wall providing privacy and shelter from the outside public walkway
A gazebo that provides hard landscaping in the garden as well as shade for relaxation and comfort.
Lawn to provide cooling effect to the atmosphere as well as the eyes.
fruit trees as well as blossoms that provide sustenance and pleasure to the senses.
and shade trees to retain thermal cooling's.

I just need some good design ideas for a smallish fountain, which I would prefer to follow the basic Islamic garden design principles.

I thank you in advance for any ideas you can suggest.

Is it going to be a simple pond with a fountain, do you plan to put some fish in it or water plants too. The suggestion will be related to each situation.
I love fountains and haven’t yet sorted out the related problems.

I want it to be a water feature only, no aquatic plants and no fish so that when I am not there it can be left emptied. I want to be able to enjoy the sound of water from the verandah as well as the garden and for it to cool the atmosphere down just a little bit, a low fountain like some of these examples is what comes to mind.

The area I have reserved would not be sufficient to keep fish comfortably without extreme temperature fluctuations causing stress to the fish and plants
