Ya-Rehmanu Ya-Raheemu (Wird) Print

Each one of us has their spiritual side, a bond which they keep personal, between them and Allah Pak. Each one of us has a different connection with different attributes of Allah. Reciting them makes their life bearable. My work is based on a spiritual experience I believe everyone have gone through. Allah has designed each and every element with a very interesting math in it. Inspired by his name MUSAWWIR, I choose to explore and engage with this spiritual journey based on self -made calculations started by a mere nuqta (dot). These started developing into calculated drawings of my connection to the names of Allah. All of these mathematical calculations are in praise of Allah and reinforce a belief that no one could ever understand his dimensions. The drawings are constructed through a series of strict calculation. Digits taken from Ilm- e-Jaffer for each name of Allah is multiplied by digit 19 which means WAHID and that’s only Allah. Which are further multiplied by odd numbers because, ‟ALLAH IS ODD AND HE LOVES ODD.” (Sahih Muslim 2677a) WRITE: Ar-Rehman: Mathematical Value: 298 Constant Value: 19 Odd Number: 01 Total: 298 x 19 x 01 = 5662 dots Ar-Raheem: Mathematical Value: 259 Constant Value: 19 Odd Number: 01 Total: 259 x 19 x 01 = 4921 dots RECITE: Every name has its own meaning and has a different purpose. We all believe in reciting them as much as possible in our lives to make it easier. I have always seen everyone reciting these “wird” on either fingers or counters and inspired by that practice I created these artworks in which I have done proper wird. Each piece of work is a proper wird in which I have recited respective name of Allah on every dot with awwal and akhir durood. This work is a practice of doing wird just to praise Allah and to attain his blessings through it.
