To clarify, no mohammed on the exterior of the bldg. Moses is prominently featured on the exterior.

Moses is depicted with tablets: in the East Pediment (center), in the South Courtroom frieze and in one of the Great Hall metopes.

Other tablets with the Roman numerals I–X appear on the support frame of the Courtroom’s bronze gates (left); on the lower,
interior panels of the Courtroom doors; and held by the figure representing “Law” in the Library woodwork.

Books are held by several “lawgivers,” including Confucius (East Pediment) and Muhammad, Hugo Grotius and John Marshall (South Courtroom frieze).

"Perched above the press seating area inside the U.S. Supreme Court chamber is a marble image of Prophet Muhammad.

"Sculpted in a frieze, the Muhammad statue carries a sword and the Quran and stands in the company of more than a dozen other “great lawgivers of history.” They range from Moses to Confucius to Napoleon to John Marshall, some of whom appear in an accompanying frieze along the south side of the room." - link
