TITLE : THE INFINITE KNOWLEDGE

MY ARTWORK CONSIST OF CALLIGRAPHY USING PATTERNED KHAT THULUTH AND

THE BORDER WAS INSPIRED FROM THE ISLAMIC ARABESQUE PATTERN.
THE WORDS IQRA CREATED A PATTERN OF STAR WHICH TRANSLATED HOW
IQRA WHICH MEANS READ CAN LEAD HUMAN TO AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF
KNOWLEDGE AS THE STARS IN THE GALAXY ARE INFINITE IN NUMBERS.
THE STAR WENT AROUND IN CIRCLE WHERE IT SHOW ONGOING MOTION YET
STILL IN AN ORDER, BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE ARE BOUNDLESS YET THERE ARE
THE ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE THAT HUMAN CANNOT POSSES AS ONLY ALLAH S.W.T
POSSESS.
THE EIGHT WORDS OF IQRA WHICH CREATE THE STAR SHAPE AND THE EIGHT
NUMBER OF STARS REPRESENT THE RUB EL HIZB ( RUB AL-HIZB),A
MUSLIM SYMBOL.
THE EIGHT STARS ARE CIRCLING A LARGER STAR,DEPICTING THE EIGHT PLANETS
IN SOLAR SYSTEM WHICH ORBIT THE SUN.THE KNOWLEDGE OF SOLAR SYSTEM
ARE VAST AND US AS A MERE HUMAN STILL HAS MANY TO LEARN ABOUT.
DARK BLUE AND MAROON COLOR OF THE CIRCLE OF STARS INDICATE THE
BALANCE YET BOLD FEELING THAT I WISH FOR THE OTHERS TO FEEL.THE GREEN
COLOR WAS CHOSEN AS THE CENTRE TO SYMBOLIZED THE FAVOURITE COLOR
OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH). THE GOLD COLOR WAS TO PORTRAY THE
ELEGANCE AND CLASSIC FEELING OF ARTWORK.THE BACKGROUND OF THE
ARTWORK IS TEAL BLUE ,TO RADIATE THE CALM AND MINIMALIST FEELINGS.
THE MEDIUM USED IS AN A1 SIZED CANVAS.THE MEDIA USED ARE ACRYLIC FOR
THE CALLIGRAPHY, POSTER COLOR FOR THE BORDER AND WATERCOLOR FOR
THE BACKGROUND. THE TOOLS USED WERE FLAT BRUSH ,POINTED BRUSH ,
SPONGE AND OIL PAINTING KNIFE.
I WISH TO INTRIGUE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE FEELING OF CURIOSITY AND SELFSATISFACTORY WITH MY ARTWORK.
ERGO, ISLAMIC CONTEMPORARY ART IS WIDELY DEMANDED NOWADAYS, AS
MORE PEOPLE BEGAN TO APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND THE BEAUTY AND
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ISLAMIC ART. MORE EXPLORATION CAN BE DONE WITH
ISLAMIC ART WHILE MAINTAINING ITS PURPOSES.

Rub el Hizb
The Rub el Hizb (Arabic: rub al-izb) is
a Muslim symbol, represented as two overlapping
squares, which is found on a number of emblems
and flags. In Arabic, Rub means "one fourth,
quarter", while Hizb means a group or party.
Initially, it was used in the Quran, which is divided
into 60 Hizb (60 groups of roughly equal length);
the symbol determines every quarter of Hizb, while the Hizb is one half of a juz'.
The main purpose of this dividing system is to facilitate recitation of the Qur'an.
The symbol is used as a marker for the end of a chapter in Arabic calligraphy. It
is represented by two overlapping squares as in theUnicode glyph at U+06DE.

The Rub el Hizb can be seen on:

The flag of Saadi dynasty of Morocco
The current coat of arms of Turkmenistan
The current coat of arms of Uzbekistan
Azat party flag [1]
The unofficial flag of Kazakhstan in the 1990s, the basis
