Description
Calligraphy word "Al-Hakim" (Name #47) - "Al-Hakim": AL HAKIM�the Wise�is the one who possesses wisdom. Wisdom is equivalent to knowledge of superior things through the highest modes of knowing. But the most sublime thing of all is God�may He be praised. And we have seen that no-one other than He can truly know Him. He is the truly wise because He knows the most sublime things by the most sublime modes of knowing. Whoever knows all things without knowing God, great and glorious, is not worthy to be called wise, because he does not know the most sublime and highest of things.Imam Ghazali shares the following from our Beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam: �the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God� �The shrewd man is one who judges his soul and works for whatever comes after death, while the incompetent subordinates his soul to its passions and hopes in God� �That which is little yet sufficient is better than a great deal which distracts.� �For one who becomes healthy in his body, safe in his surroundings with his daily food, it is as thought the world in its totality belongs to him.� �Be godfearing (wari) and you will be the most worshipful of people; be content and you will be the most grateful of people.� I took little inspiration for writing from the movement and harmony of Arabic Scripts like khat e diwani, Khat e diwani jeli and Riqa diwani. This cursive style developed during the reign of the early Ottoman Turks (16th century ). It was invented by Housam Roumi. It was labeled the Diwani script because it was used in the Ottoman diwan. If we see overall painting then writing style is contemporary. Writing is composed with Islamic motives which are used in Islamic architecture.They are based on curving and branching vegetal forms. But some of them have foliage and linear geometric patterns in a single design, and some purely abstract . The floral designs have evolved into beautiful and highly complex patterns. I tried to use arabesque color palette in motifs but in few options color palette is inspired from contemporary colors. In mostly paintings square and round motives are used as a "nukta". Some time text is readable sometime not.
