This artwork reflects the spiritual journey from inner turmoil to divine tranquility. At the center runs a striking column of red, inscribed with the verse from Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:28), “Alaa bi dhikrillahi tatma’innu al-quloob” — “Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find peace.” The verse, rendered in classical Arabic calligraphy and surrounded by delicate gold detailing, serves as the axis of calm amidst the surrounding abstraction.
The dark background is a tapestry of fragmented Arabic letters — symbolic of scattered, restless thoughts that often fill the human mind. Their overlapping, almost chaotic pattern embodies the emotional turbulence, anxiety, and confusion that cloud the heart. Yet, from this sea of abstraction, the vertical band of divine remembrance emerges — a reminder that true serenity can only be attained through connection with the Creator.
The contrast of deep grey and bold red evokes an emotional balance — the weight of human struggle against the light of spiritual awakening. The calligraphic flow toward the bottom transitions into gentler tones, signifying surrender, healing, and peace settling within the heart.
This piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect — to find solace in dhikr (remembrance of Allah), where the fragmented pieces of the self align once more into wholeness and peace.
