This beautiful art piece is actually an Islamic Arabic calligraphy. The calligraphy is done by carving a single piece of wood.
This calligraphic art-piece is a perfect work of art, skill and craftsmanship.
In Arabic it says :
“ I bear witness that there is no other god, but Allah (God Almighty), and Mohamad (peace be upon him) is the messenger of God”.
These are the words that a person has to say to become a Muslim.
My husband, accepted Islam, in 2010. He was 24 years old, at that time. He says that saying these words, is a life changing experience.
He says that as soon as he said these words, his perception of the world changed, as if a veil was lifted from his eyes, and he could see the real world for the first time in his life.
My husband bought this art-piece from an Islamic shop in Sydney. He loves this beautiful calligraphy and the meaningful words written on it , which remind him of his soulful and beautiful experience of accepting Islam and Becoming a Muslim.
This Cligraphic art-piece is hanging on the front wall in our lounge. It reminds us of how fortunate and blessed we are to be Muslims.
