وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ

Al-Hijr 15, 99

This Crazy Blue-Gold Silk can change color depending on how the light hits it.

I chose this silk because it give the artwork a sort of Byzantine flair.

This verse comes from the Qu'ran. The text roughly translates as, "...worship your Lord until it comes to you, the certainty (of death)".

This is printed on handmade paper with a high-fiber content (you will see lots of natural husks and fibers pressed into this paper). The artwork was then mounted to a handmade two-tone silk brocade wall scroll.

The result is a beautiful and elegant presentation of this Islamic calligraphy.

I do not currently have a contact for a calligrapher who can write Arabic script like this by hand. If you are a Thuluth (ثلث ṯuluṯ) calligrapher, please contact me, I would love to be able to offer hand-painted versions of Arabic calligraphy (of course, that will cost more, so prints like this will always be a lot cheaper).
