Notes
This artwork belongs to a group of slogans of wisdom, which is the artistic interpretation of the Arabic letter or word that shows the Sufi father his way to God when he remembers it or repeats its pronunciation (dhikr). This slogan is a symmetrical formation that contains the word Al-Shafi, which is one of the many names of God.
