Ayatul Kursi Emerald Green & Gold Calligraphy Wall Art

Line after line of warm gold calligraphy covers most of this broad emerald-green piece. The lines are closely and evenly set, so the whole passage reads as one block of gold on green.

The Words and Their Meaning

Ayatul Kursi is verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah. It speaks of Allah's perfect life, knowledge and authority, and of His Kursi, which extends over the heavens and the earth. Many Muslims recite it after each prayer and before sleeping.

Arabic text, Quran 2:255:

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌۭ وَلَا نَوْمٌۭ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍۢ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Saheeh International)

Handmade Details

Brushwork, layered paint and small variations are part of a hand-painted piece and are not flaws. Colours can look slightly different with room lighting and screen settings. The exact size, materials and framing options are confirmed with you before you order: message the studio with the width of your wall, and use the calligraphy size guide to see how to measure.

Artwork containing sacred Arabic words should be displayed in a clean, elevated and respectful place.
