In classic Italic hand this repeatative inscription of the name of Allah gives the sense of "tasbee" where one recites contineously His name in almost hypnotic fashion. The tall strokes of this italic hand signifies the strength, the short baseline characters impart the sense of strong foundation and the four sided layout reveals the universality of Allah - He is everywhere.
The Man
 Man is struggling. Man is always struggling. Man is always struggling and struggling for ever. A patch of burden on his shoulders and his hands are tied. Yet the man continues to struggle. Man comes out triumphant in his struggles. He is resourceful, he is versatile and he has faith. He asks Him for help!
