A quote from one of the chapters, also known as the Heart of the Quran, Surah Yā-Sīn. This piece symbolizes unity and similarity among the Abrahamic faiths through its pattern, shared history of the motifs and a call for peace from the Lord. The center medallion design is a XV century Islamic pattern which consists of rumis (a motif used by different cultures with their own variations) and hatais. Instead of Arabic, the text is written in Old English Gothic.
