Commemorating the Night Journey, this project renders the first verse of Surah Al-Isra: “Glory to Allah Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless, in order that We might show him some of Our Signs, for He is the One Who heareth and seeth all things – سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى الذي باركنا حوله , لنريه من آياتنا إنه هو السميع البصير” in Thuluth Jali. The text is intricately shaped into the iconic silhouette of the Dome of the Rock.
The design connects the script to the sacred history of the location. By using the calligraphy to form the architecture of the Dome of the Rock, the design reinforces the Quranic narrative of the journey. The structure of the script mirrors the physical structure of the monument, creating a profound synergy between text and image.
Thuluth Jali provides the necessary complexity to mirror the architectural dignity of the Dome of the Rock. Its structural boldness mimics the endurance of stone, while its fluidity captures the miraculous nature of the journey.
We drafted the verse to align with the geometric parameters of the Dome’s facade and dome. We adjusted the letter height and spacing to ensure the silhouette was instantly recognizable while maintaining the integrity of the sacred verse. Following the manual draft, the design was vectorized to ensure the silhouette is mathematically precise and razor-sharp.
This vector file is designed for high-impact applications such as architectural metalwork, historical commemorative signage, or premium religious art. The vector precision ensures the architectural detail is preserved at any magnitude.
