"Bismillah"

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد الله ربّ العلمين

الرحمن الرحيم

ملك يوم الدين

ايّاك نعبد و ايّاك نستعين

اهدنا الصّداط المستقيم

صراط الذين انعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم و لا الضالين

Al-Fatihah is The Prologue to the Qur'an. Here I played a bit more with my focus, trying to get the first part of Al-Fatihah, Basmala (in the name of Allah) in the most focus of anything on the page. My first attempt at a more artsy shot, and a very important shot to me, as this is the first book I am reading in its entirety in Arabic.

مع سلام يا أصدقائي
