Description: | The names are embroided in six circles in each corner and two sides. They include: ALLAH, MUHAMMED, ALI, UMAR, ABU BAKR, and UTHMAN. Muhammed is a prophet, Allah is God, and the other four names are Muhammed's companions. There are also six panels with VERSES from the Qur'an around the edges. The VERSES read: 1. In the name of Allah, the most gracious, dispenser of grace. 2. You are obsessed by greed for more and more until you go down to your graves. 3. Nay, in time you will come to understand! 4. Nay, if you could but understand [it] with an understanding [born] of certainty, you would indeed, most surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]! 5. In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it with the eye of certainty. 6. On that Day you will most surely be called to account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
