Innovation and statement design are at the forefront of any Asheeq Art piece. Taking inspiration from the ancient Kufic script and modern contemporary design.
This piece states Surat An Nas and Surat Al-Fatiha.
Surat An Nas is the 114th and final surah of the holy Quran. It has six short but mighty verses asking God the “lord of mankind” for protection from Shaitan (the devil). The Prophet (PBUH) said that “Allah has revealed to me Ayats the likes of which have not been seen” the ayahs he’s referring to are that of Surah Al Falaq and Surah An Nas. These are also used as a means of safeguarding from all forms of evil including the evil of one’s own heart. It is recommended that this surah is prayed every day before bed and if someone is sick.
Surat-Al-Fatiha is well known as the “The Opener”. Every salat (prayer) begins with this recitation. These seven verses open your heart to guidance and healing, they are the of very essence of Islamic faith. Muhammad (PBUH) said this is the “Mother of the Quran” (Tirmidhi).
Combined with the marble background are gold veins which are used to signify that even when something is broken, once pieced together can be even more beautiful then it originally was. This has been inspired by the Japanese method of “Kintsugi”. The Swarovski crystals and pearls have been scattered to signify that’s just as God has hidden treasures all over this world, so do the power of his words.
