‎وَإِن تَعُدُّوا۟ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَاۤۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورࣱ رَّحِیمࣱ ۝١٨

And if you try to number the divine blessing of God, you will not be able to count it. Truly, God is Forgiving, Compassionate.

I wanted the the text to look like a shadow or a reflection from the unseen. The paint is the same color as the stone floor and where the lines cross I doubled the intensity to make it look like ink on a muqahhar paper.

Please comment your thoughts and reflections about it.

Hadith ar-Rahma is traditionally the first hadith that students of hadith receive. In Damascus, it is commonly associated with the Musalsal bil-Awwaliyya, the ”First-Linked” hadith, marking the beginning of one’s journey in sacred knowledge. This hadith is emphasized because mercy, compassion, empathy, and love should permeate every aspect of religion and life.

This is a mural I created in a friend’s home.

Hadith ar-Rahma:

Arabic:
الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ، ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ
English Translation:
”The merciful are shown mercy by The Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth, and the One above the heavens will have mercy on you.”
— Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (Hadith 1924)

I tuned these bowls when the wood was green and then carefully dried so they won’t crack. When the dry the acquire a tell tale band and warp that increase the character of the bowl.
Green Wood tuning is a joy
