Alhamdulillah in Arabic calligraphy | Unique wood effect | Islamic art | By award-winning artist Mehmet Özçay | Limited Edition

This unique work features the expression 'Alhamdulillah' penned in captivating Celî Sülüs (Jali Thuluth) script by the award-winning calligrapher Mehmet Özçay.

The expression features at least 21 times in the Noble Quran, perhaps most famously in surat al-Fatiha: 'Praise belongs to God (Alhamdulillah), Lord of the Worlds' (1:2).

The same words are spoken by the inhabitants of paradise, who will say, ‘Praise be to God (Alhamdulillah), who has separated us from all sorrow! Our Lord is truly most forgiving, most appreciative' (35:34).

They are words spoken by the prophets David and Solomon: 'We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said, ‘Praise be to God, who has favoured us over many of His believing servants’' (27:15) and by the friend of God, Abraham: 'Praise be to God, who has granted me Ishmael and Isaac in my old age: my Lord hears all requests!' (14:39).
