Subject and Purpose of the Exhibition

The theme of the exhibition, as indicated by the title suggested above, is the presentation of unique sculptures with a variety of Islamic Arabic calligraphy and script that arose during the history of Islam in different geographical regions of the Islamic world. The intention is to show the heritage and diversity of Islamic calligraphy and its development in the holy names of Asma ul-Husna (the 99 blessed names of God in the Holy Quran) and related Quranic verses. Below, we will have a look at the animations and images of the most important part of the related artworks to get a better overall impression.

You can offer the artworks of this collection in the following ways:

– You can display these artworks inside or outside of different Emaar’s properties and buildings.

– You can offer these statues to government departments such as ministries, universities, etc.

– You can even expand and develop this current collection over time and add more Asma ul-Husna statues and sell this collection in the form of an exhibition or auction for a higher price when it is finished. That means you have your economic profit while also supporting and providing Islamic art in the community.

An Overview of the Exhibition

For this exhibition at the present time, 14 sculptures in different sizes could come into consideration. In the following three-minute animation, you can see the first 3D view of the exhibition to get an initial overall impression. Of course, over the time this unique collection can be enriched with more sculptures of Asma ul-Husna (other names of Allah). These 14 sculptures display currently 14 Asma ul-Husna in a 3D design as follows:

Introduction of the Art Works

As follow you can see animations and closer images of each of the 14 sculptures in different sizes which are designed for this exhibition at the present time. These are designed with different types of Islamic Arabic scripts and calligraphies from ancient times (early Islam) until present time, including Hijazi script, Early Kufi, Abbasid Mushafi, Naskh, Tholouth, Maqribi Kufi, Eastern Kufi, Diwani Kufi, Kufi Bnaie, types of decorative Kufi, Kufi Modern, Riyhan, Raqqa, Muhaqiq, Nast’aliq, Kursiv Nast’aliq, different kinds of conceptual, improvised and modern calligraphies.

All sculptures are made of high-quality stainless steel with grade 316, which has a guarantee of more than thirty years for indoor or outdoor use in humid weather. Dimension and weight of all sculptures are indicated too. More technical information can be provided later.

At the moment these sculptures are designed with 14 holy names of Allah (14 Asma ul-Husna). On demand we can expand this collection step by step and produce and add more holy names of Allah (from the list of  99 holy names from Asma ul-Husna series) in different styles of Islamic calligraphy. In the following we present current designs in large and small sizes.

1) The large statue of the two names “The Lawyer / الوکیل ” (Al-Wakil) and “The Ruler / الحاکم ” (Al-Hakim)

This statue is the largest sculpture of our collection and is about two verses of holy Quran which refer to two holy names of Allah, namely “The Lawyer” (Al-Wakil) and “The Ruler” (Al-Hakim). It can be registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest court hammer statue in the world (World’s Largest Gavel). Currently, the largest court hammer in America is 9 meters long and 3.5 meters high, made of steel, which you can see in the photo below. This hammer is located in front of the Ohio Judiciary building in the United States and was built in 2008.

Our designed hammer, which is completely decorated with Kufic calligraphy, will be twice as long as the American hammer, i.e. 18 meters long and nearly 6 meters high. This hammer can be purchased by a rich benefactor and donated as a gift to the city of Dubai and new building of Dubai Courts, because Dubai is always interested in breaking records in various fields such as art works, and naturally it will be welcomed.

Comparison of hammer size in America and Dubai (UAE)

The following two verses from the Holy Quran are written on the handle and head of the hammer. These two verses are written in decorative Kufi calligraphy and modern Thuluth Calligraphy.

وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ

حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيل

We will also produce a sample in smaller dimension so that it can be placed as a smaller version in the interior of the court building.
