Based on the powerful poem by Sayyid Qutb, this project highlights the phrase “My Brother You Are Free (أخي أنت حرٌ)“. The core message is rendered in a decorative Diwani script, surrounded by the full poem in a perfect Thuluth circle, symbolizing spiritual liberation despite physical constraints.
The Circle of Unshakable Faith. The circular Thuluth script represents the “shackles” mentioned in the poem, but the text itself speaks of freedom. By placing the central Diwani phrase in the middle, it suggests that freedom is an internal state granted by God, protected by the “walls” of faith.
We paired the “dancing” freedom of Decorative Diwani with the “prison-bar” strength of Classical Thuluth. This stylistic choice mirrors the poem’s theme: that even behind bars, the soul remains free and connected to the Divine.
The long poem was meticulously measured to complete a full, legible circle. “My brother you are free behind bars, my brother you are free despite your shackles. So long as you hold firmly to Allah, how can the schemes of man harm you – أخي أنت حرٌ وراء السدود , أخي أنت حرٌ بتلك القيود, إذا كنت بالله مستعصما, فماذا يضيرك كيد العبيد”. We added two concentric circular lines to act as a “halo” frame, focusing the viewer’s eye on the central message. The final artwork was vectorized for perfect clarity at any scale.
This vector file is a profound choice for cultural exhibitions, human rights publications, or personal art collections dedicated to the themes of spiritual strength and liberation.
