Allah (Arabic: الله, Allāh, IPA: [ʔalˤːɑːh]) is the standard Arabic word for “God”. While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to “God”. The term was also used by pagan Meccans as a reference to the creator-god, possibly the supreme deity in pre-Islamic Arabia. The concepts associated with the term Allah (as a deity) differ among the traditions. In pre-Islamic Arabia, Allah was not the sole divinity, having associates and companions, sons and daughters. In Islam, Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name. All other divine names are believed to refer back to Allah. Allah is unique, the only God, transcendent creator of the universe and omnipotent. Arab Christians today, having no other word for ‘God’ than ‘Allah’, use terms such as Allāh al-ab (الله الآب) to mean God the father. There are both similarities and differences between the concept of God as portrayed in the Qur’an and the Hebrew Bible.

Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh (Arabic: محمّد; Transliteration: Muḥammad, also Mohammed) Born in 570 CE in the Arabian city of Mecca, he was orphaned at a young age and was brought up under the care of his uncle. He later worked mostly as a merchant, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Mecca, he retreated to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that “God is One”, that complete “surrender” to Him (lit. islām) is the only way (dīn) acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and other prophets in Islam. Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some tribes of Mecca; he was treated harshly and so were his followers. To escape persecution Muhammad and his followers migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622. This event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632 a few months after returning to Medina from his Farewell pilgrimage, Muhammad fell ill and died. By the time of his death most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam and he united the tribes of Arabia into a singular Muslim religious polity. The revelations (or Ayats, lit. “Signs of God”), which Muhammad reported receiving until his death, form the verses of the Qur’an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God”, around which his religion is based. Besides the Qur’an, Muhammad’s life (Sira) and traditions (Sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase “peace be upon him” whenever their names are mentioned.

Version 2.0 Here I’ve always been a fan of Superman, the powerful simplicity of his story (from Alan Moore’s Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow? : “A perfect man who fell from the sky and did only good”) is only matched by the iconic immortality of his design. This is my variation on the S-shield, using the Arabic letter س “Seen”, which corresponds to the S. [Updated: slightly so by removing the background effects and simplifying the shape.]

The term Allāh is most likely derived from a contraction of the Arabic article al- and ʾilāh “deity, god” to al-lāh meaning “the [sole] deity, God” (ho theos monos). Another theory traces the etymology of the word to the Aramaic Alāhā. Cognates of the name “Allāh” exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic. The corresponding Aramaic form is אֱלָהָא ˀĔlāhā in Biblical Aramaic and ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ˀAlâhâ or ˀĀlōho in Syriac. The term Allah is always used in the singular form; the plural form of the term does not exist in the Arabic language. The contraction of al- and ʾilāh in forming the term Allāh (“the deity” in the masculine form) parallels the contraction of al- and ʾilāha in forming the term al-Lāt (“the deity” in the feminine form)

I’ve been thinking about doing arabized super hero style t-shirts since before doing the ’’Seen’’ Shield T . This is my version of the Wonder Woman current logo. The translation is the one they used in the old translated-to-arabic comics (which I don’t think come out anymore); its not a literal translation as its closer to Super Woman than Wonder Woman. A variation of this shirt can be found here.

إقرا (ikra), arabic for read... Sūrat al-‘Alaq (العلق”The Clot”), is the 96th sura or chapter of the Qur’an. The first five verses of this sura are believed to be the first verses of the Qur’an to be revealed to prophet Muhammad. It is composed of 19 Ayat (verses or “signs”), and is traditionally believed to have been revealed at Mecca. It is sometimes also known as Sūrat al-Iqrā (إقرا, “Recite”) or Sūrat al-Qalam (القلم, “The Pen”). In this sura, God presents a concise but compelling argument: Man is a creature of wonder, beginning with its development from a biomass (or Alaq), who has been granted the gift of sentience by God. Then as a being Man divides into two distinct groups: those who recognize their cosmic condition, seek divine guidance (by ‘reading’ God’s word), and bow to God’s will (symbolized by ‘prostration’); and those who even in the face of these apparent wonders of Man’s condition, consider the Human to be an ‘independent’ entity, answerable to no transcendent authority, and even more contentiously, take it upon themselves to prevent the first class of Man from following God’s Word and submitting to him. God then states that the first type of Man, the believer, is the righteous one, and that the second class is both in error and is in fact a “lying and sinful” creature. The sura concludes with God’s warning to the denier that the “guards of Hell” await, and that such men should cease from denying the believer the right to worship unmolested by them. The sura’s last verse are words of encouragement to the believer to “not yield” to the threats of unbelievers but to continue in persistence in obeying God, and a promise of nearness to God for such a believer. QUR’AN, SURA THE CLOT, “READ!” [96.1] Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, / [96.2] Createth man from a clot. / [96.3] Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, / [96.4] Who teacheth by the pen, / [96.5] Teacheth man that which he knew not. / [96.6] Nay, but verily man is rebellious / [96.7] That he thinketh himself independent! / [96.8] Lo! unto thy Lord is the return. / [96.9] Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth / [96.10] A slave when he prayeth? / [96.11] Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah) / [96.12] Or enjoineth piety? / [96.13] Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah’s guidance) and is froward? / [96.14] Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? / [96.15] Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock – / [96.16] The lying, sinful forelock – / [96.17] Then let him call upon his henchmen! / [96.18] We will call the guards of hell. / [96.19] Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).

The Hamsa (Arabic: خمسة, Khamsa, literally “five”, Hebrew: חמסה, Khamsa) is a symbol used in amulets, charms and jewelry to protect against the “evil eye.” An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima or Eye of Fatima, in reference to Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad. An alternative Jewish name is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. It is a kind of “protecting hand” or “hand of God”. Some associate the significance of the five fingers to the five books of the Torah for Jews, the Five Pillars of Islam for Sunnis. This symbolism may have evolved at a later stage, in view of the fact that archaeological evidence suggests the hamsa predates both religions. In recent years some activists for Middle East peace have chosen to wear the hamsa as a symbol of the similarities of origins and tradition between the Islamic and Jewish faiths. The fingers can point up or down. The hamsa is widespread in Arab countries, and is sold in many different forms especially in the marketplaces of Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. It is often painted on the fronts of homes. Nevertheless, many Arabs, Christian and Muslim, regard this as a superstition. They believe that only God protects them, and the hamsa is tantamount to SHIRK, or idolatry. The symbol may have originated in Punic religion, where it was associated with Tanit. Hamsa plaques, often made of turquoise-colored ceramics, are very common in modern Egypt. The Hamsa is a protection or “magical pendant”. Hamsas are popular as charms and decorations in Israel and are not considered to have any Islamic connection other than the shared Arabic name (same as the Hebrew). Among Jews, fish are considered to be a symbol of good luck, so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and necklaces. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh’ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler’s Prayer). Hamsas may be displayed in either directon, up or down according to the taste or decoration associated with the Hamsa.

“Shit Happens” in Arabic (transliterated: “Al Gha’it yahdoth”). I’ve opted to use a more – well, let’s go with ‘dry’, heh – word for ‘shit’, as there are too many slang words for it in Arabic and for some reason this word – which should translate to ‘feces’ – cracks me up each time I see it (: Companion piece is SSDD. (*) Shown here in Diarrhea Yellow.

“Same Shit Different Day” in Arabic (transliterated: “Yom akhar, al gha’it nafsoh”). It’s actually “Different Day Same Shit”, it just sound better that way in Arabic. Also, as in it’s companion piece / I’ve opted to use a more – well, let’s go with ‘dry’, heh – word for ‘shit’, as there are too many slang words for it in Arabic and for some reason this word – which should translate to ‘feces’ – cracks me up each time I see it (: (*) Shown here in See Your Doctor Red.

This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /
