Kun Fayakun Black & Copper Calligraphy Wall Art
Kun fayakun fills the lower half of this near-square black piece in large copper-gold and white lettering. Above it, tall rose-gold bars rise through a band of ornate calligraphic texture.
The Words and Their Meaning
Kun fayakun means: Be, and it is. The phrase appears in several places in the Quran, among them Surah Ya-Sin 36:82, and describes how Allah's command brings anything into being. People turn to it when something seems impossible.
Read the verse in the Verse Library.
Arabic text, Quran 36:82:
إِنَّمَآ أَمْرُهُۥٓ إِذَآ أَرَادَ شَيْـًٔا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. (Saheeh International)
Colour and Composition
The straight vertical bars and the flowing script pull against each other, which gives the piece its energy. Black, copper and white feel graphic and current.

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.
