“Say God is one, God, the Everlasting, Who does not give birth, Who is not born, and Who has no equivalent.” (Quran, Surat al-Ikhlas, #112).
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (1) اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ (2) لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ (3) وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ (4)
Qul huwallahu ahad, Allahu s-samad, yam yalid wa-lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad. Calligraphed in 1327 by Mustafa Efendi, an Ottoman era calligrapher.
