Physical Description
The central section includes the word ‘Allah’ (in pink), the Kaaba (from Al-Masjid al-Haram, Mecca, Arabia) surrounded by seashells and pearls, and a dove carrying the word ‘Allahoo’. The blue heart repeats ‘Allah’ and the green heart reads ‘Muhammed (Peace be upon Him)’.
The four orange hearts contain other names – ‘Abubakr (May Allah bless him)’, ‘Umr (May Allah bless him)’, ‘Usman (May Allah bless him)’, and ‘Ali (May Allah bless him)’. The coloured pearls around the borders of the poster form the following Quranic verses:
‘In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful’
‘There is no God but Allah, Muhammed (Peace be upon Him) is the Messenger of Allah’
‘All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful’
‘And we have not sent thee (O Prophet) except as a mercy into the worlds’
‘Glory to my Lord, the Highest’
‘Glory to my Lord, the Greatest’
