All the art works in this collection are designs of the 35th verse of ‘Light Sura’ of the Holy Quran, done by me in different forty forms, from the classic calligraphy to painting-calligraphy.
The sign of the Light Sura
Jalil Rasouli Artworks
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: lit from a blessed Tree, an olive, neither of the East nor of the West, whose Oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth parables for men: and Allah Doth know all things.
