The Craft
"The Ayatul Kursi sits at the centre. Everything else is devotion around it."
I began with a rich base of deep browns and oranges, blending them outward to create a warm, glowing ground. I then laid out the central Ayatul Kursi calligraphy first, its bold, stylised typographical arrangement carefully constructed to draw the eye. In between and around this, I wrote with Poscan acrylic gold pen La Ilaha Ilallah by hand, thousands of times, building up a dense, intricate layer of text that envelops the central verse. Finally, the Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim is painted at the very top in gold, sitting above the composition like a crown.
La Ilaha Ilallah
I wrote La Ilaha Ilallah by hand with a Posca gold pen, thousands of times, across the entire surface. Up close you can read it. From a distance it becomes texture, a field of remembrance that holds everything else together.
Ayatul Kursi
The central Ayatul Kursi calligraphy was laid out first. I built the letterforms bold and large, the arrangement designed to pull the eye in before anything else. The gold and red sit on top of the dark ground, pressing forward out of the surface.
The Ground
I started with deep browns and oranges, blending them outward to build a warm glowing base. The Bismillah sits at the very top in gold, painted last, above everything else. It needed to feel like a crown over the whole composition.
The Story
"The central verse describes His majesty. The thousands of words around it declare it."
Ayatul Kursi holds immense significance for Muslims, offering protection and a profound description of Allah's majesty. I wanted to show how the fundamental declaration of our faith, La Ilaha Ilallah, forms the very foundation in which the majesty of the Throne exists. By surrounding the central verse with thousands of handwritten repetitions of the Shahadah, the painting becomes a meditation on the absolute oneness and power of God.

Your print is made to last. A few things worth knowing:
Keep it out of direct sunlight where possible. Archival paper holds its colour well, but prolonged UV exposure will fade any print over time.
Avoid hanging in humid rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens. Moisture is the main enemy of fine art paper.
If your print arrives rolled, lay it flat under a few books for 24 hours before framing. It will settle naturally.
For cleaning, a soft dry cloth on the glass is all you need. Never spray directly onto the print.
