Islamic manuscript
08 April 2025
Description

This image appears to be a beautifully handwritten Islamic manuscript, possibly a dua (supplication) or part of a qasida (Islamic poem), given the ornate borders and calligraphy style. The central box, written in larger script, contains Arabic text, while the slanted script surrounding it might be Persian or Urdu commentary, explanation, or poetry related to the central text. Here are a few things I can identify from the central section: • It begins with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). • It includes phrases like اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد (O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad), which is a common line from Salawat (sending blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad). • The red text and floral decoration suggest it’s a devotional piece focused on prayer or praise for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
