Surah Al-Fatiha –( The Opening of Light )

Title: Surah Al-Fatiha –( The Opening of Light )

Medium: Acrylic on Ivory sheet

Size : 28x22 inches

Description:

This captivating piece of Islamic calligraphy features Surah Al-Fatiha—the opening chapter of the Qur'an, known as the "Mother of the Book." The calligraphy is arranged in a dynamic circular form, symbolizing the eternal nature of divine guidance. Each verse spirals gracefully, embracing the heart of the composition with sacred eloquence.

The script style, likely a modern interpretation of classical Thuluth or Diwani, dances across the canvas in bold, flowing strokes of black, deep red, and highlighted accents of turquoise and sky blue—reflecting the themes of mercy, devotion, and the supplication for the straight path. The background, softly blended in hues of peach and cream, creates a heavenly aura that complements the divine words.

Artistic Note:

This painting is a visual prayer—a journey from the human soul to the Divine. Surah Al-Fatiha is not merely recited; it is felt. Through this piece, I sought to capture its reverence and rhythm, its call for guidance, and its deep resonance with every believer’s heart. May the viewer not only witness the beauty of the words but feel their light and longing. This is not just calligraphy—it is a moment of worship preserved in color and form.
