Islamic Wall Art: A Reminder

Each verse of the Quran is a gem, a word of wisdom, a mercy for mankind. The Quran also has instructions that are applicable to special situations, such as those related to marriage, inheritance, treatment of prisoners caught in battles, etc. But the overall Quranic message is that of taqva, which can be defined as the fear and love of Allah. Whatever situation we may find ourselves in – as routine as eating your breakfast, or as special as birth of a child – we must always be in a state of taqva, i.e, fear and love of Allah.

Islamic gifts for loved ones

Your best friend’s birthday is around the corner. What do you want to gift her? A handbag? A book? A table lamp? Aren’t these choices too regular, too usual, and just too boring? Why not gift her something that inspires her, lasts forever and benefits her too? Something she would keep in her heart and even display on her wall. We are talking of Islamic calligraphy art. The best gift one could give a loved one, be it a parent, a child, a sibling, a spouse or even someone unrelated, is a reminder of the Blessings of Allah.
