Qareeb

A profound reminder of divine closeness—this artwork captures the soundwave of Qur’anic verse 2:186, where Allah reassures His servants that He is always near, listening to their prayers. 

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ" يَرْشُدُونَ" سورة البقرة، القرآن الكريم  ١٨٦:٢

The Qura'anic verse 2:186, is depicted in this artifact through abstract sound waves of its recitation of the verse. During the month of Ramadan, the muslim community feels closer to Allah, God, our creator. This verse was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) during the month of Ramadan.
