Scriptorial palette:

“Behold, the first Temple ever set up for mankind was indeed the one at Bakkah: rich in blessing, and a [source of] guidance unto all the worlds, (96) full of clear messages. [It is] the place whereon Abraham once stood; and whoever enters it finds inner peace. Hence, pilgrimage unto the Temple is a duty owed to God by all people who are able to undertake it. And as for those who deny the truth verily, God does not stand in need of anything in all the worlds. (97)
Say: ‘O followers of earlier revelation! Why do you refuse to acknowledge the truth of God’s messages, when God is witness to all that you do?’ (98)
Say: ‘O followers of earlier revelation! Why do you [endeavour to] bar those who have come to believe [in this divine writ] from the path of God by trying to make it appear crooked, when you yourselves bear witness [to its being straight]? For, God is not unaware of what you do. (99)'”

Inspired by Surah 3 –  Āl ϲImrān (The House of  ϲImrān), verses 96-99 of the Holy Qur’ān

This composition has also been rendered as a limited edition Iris print, signed and dated by the artist.
