About this image
Alhamdulillah -- All praise is due to Allah. This stunning HD Islamic wallpaper centers on an intricate 12-pointed golden rosette medallion, its star pattern radiating outward against a deep black background with ornate floral arabesques filling the spaces between the points. The gold metalwork aesthetic -- as if carved from solid gold filigree -- brings to mind the great tradition of Islamic metalwork that flourished from Baghdad to Cairo, from Cordoba to Samarkand. The 12-fold symmetry of the design is among the most sacred in Islamic geometric art, found in the great mosque interiors from the Alhambra in Granada to the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. "Alhamdulillah" is the opening of Surah Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Quran, recited in every unit of every prayer: "All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all worlds." It is also the phrase spoken in gratitude for all things -- good and difficult -- a recognition that all comes from God and all returns to God. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Alhamdulillah fills the scales." This phrase of universal gratitude is woven into the fabric of Muslim daily life, spoken automatically at every meal, every accomplishment, every moment of relief. This beautiful geometric wallpaper provides a worthy visual frame for this most fundamental of Islamic expressions. Free HD download.
