About this artwork
This page features the last eight verses of the Sura al-Sad (named for the Arabic letter sad) and the opening verses of the Sura al-Zumar (the Companies). The latter begins: The sending down of the Book is from God the All-mighty, the All-wise. We have sent down to thee the Book with the truth; so worship God, making thy religion His sincerely.
