The First Kalima, vertical
A narrow column of open-cut script
The First Kalima cut from 1.5–2 mm steel as a tall column, standing 2 cm clear of the wall on its screws. Two sizes, 13 × 50 cm or 25 × 99 cm.
Two decisions before it ships
Size
Two sizes — 13 × 50 cm or 25 × 99 cm — drawn to scale against a sofa below.
Hanging
One or two nails through the bracket on the back, and the screws set the 2 cm standoff for you.
What is written on it
The words that make the declaration
La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur Rasul Allah — set as a column so it fits the narrow wall a horizontal piece never does.
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ
“There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
The First Kalima (Tawheed)
Size & scale
A column is judged on its drop
Each size is close to four times taller than it is wide, which is what makes it work beside a doorway or on a stair wall. Both are drawn below at true scale.

A stair wall or a tall living-room wall — the size most chosen
Mark it before you choose. Run painter's tape on the wall to the outer width and height, then stand back to where you normally sit and look at it from there. On a tall piece, hang it with its middle around 150 cm from the floor and the drop does the rest.

Resistance
DampMoisture resistant, no odour
Craft
Open-cut script, held off the wall
The column is the calligraphy itself, cut through 1.5–2 mm steel with nothing behind it, so the wall becomes the background. Screws hold it 2 cm proud, which is where the shadow comes from.
The script cut as the whole object, with no backing panel
Letterforms cut clean through, so the wall color becomes part of the artwork
Electrostatic powder coating, baked on for a hard, even surface
No odour and no harmful substances
A coating that is baked, not sprayed. Powder is applied electrostatically and then cured, which gives a harder and more even surface than a sprayed paint and holds its color without yellowing.
Hanging it
Mark a plumb line, not a height
A narrow vertical lives on its vertical. Pencil a plumb line rather than measuring in from a corner, then set the screws to it.
Mark the center line
A tall, narrow silhouette lives or dies on its vertical. Pencil a plumb line rather than measuring in from a corner.
Tape the height
Painter's tape to the full drop lets you judge it from across the room before drilling.
Set the screws and hang
Screws hold it clear of the wall. Rest it on, check it sits flat, then confirm the vertical from a distance.
Screws set the standoff, so the depth is built into the mounting
Moisture and damp resistant once mounted
Ships ready to hang; no frame, glass or backing board to fit
Packed with corner protection for transit
Where it goes
The spaces a column suits
By the front door
The wall you pass on the way in and out — which is the point of the words on it.
Hallway and landing
A long, low piece suits a corridor, where it reads on the way past rather than asking you to stop.
Above a console
It spans a hallway console without crowding the ceiling above it.

Care
Keeping it as it arrived
Dry cloth only
A soft, dry cloth along the length of the script. A baked powder coat is harder than sprayed paint and takes dusting well.
No solvents
Alcohol, glass cleaner and polish will dull a matte surface. If a mark will not lift dry, use a barely damp cloth and dry it at once.
Damp resistant
The powder coat handles humidity better than a painted finish. Give it an indoor wall away from a bathroom or a kitchen extractor.
Choose your size and finish
Two sizes, and the finish is the rest of the decision. Tape the outline on the wall first — it is the only measurement that matters.
The First Kalima is the 'Key to Jannah.' Scholars from the Islamic Bulletin note that its presence in a home creates an environment of 'Tawhid' (Oneness). It acts as a spiritual anchor, reminding the residents to align every action with the pleasure of Allah and the example of the Prophet (PBUH).
Yes, it is highly encouraged as a form of 'Dhikr' (remembrance). The key is 'Adab' (etiquette): it must be placed in a clean, elevated position, typically above eye level. It should never be placed near floors, in bathrooms, or in areas where it might be treated with disrespect.
No. Our metal pieces undergo a premium electro-coating process in Turkey. This industrial-grade finish creates a chemical bond that is rust-resistant and tarnish-proof. Whether you choose Gold, Silver, or Black, the finish is designed to maintain its brilliant, mirror-like luster for decades.
The most traditional and respectful locations are the living room foyer or a dedicated prayer space (Musallah). Hanging it near the entrance of the home is a powerful way to set the spiritual tone for everyone who enters, reminding them of the foundation of their faith.
Accuracy is treated as a sacred 'Amanah' (trust). Every piece is designed in Turkey and cross-referenced with the Uthmani. Master calligraphers meticulously verify every 'Nuqta' (dot) and 'Haraka' (vowel mark) to ensure the divine words are perfectly preserved.
Our wood art offers a warm, 3D organic feel that brings a traditional aesthetic. Our metal art features a sleek, high-end finish with industrial durability. Both materials are handcrafted in our Turkish workshop to ensure museum-quality standards.
Yes, it is common to hang it in a bedroom as a source of peace and a reminder to make the Kalima one's final thought before sleep. Ensure it is mounted securely and high on the wall to maintain the respect due to the declaration of faith.
Treat the art with the same respect as a Mushaf. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid water or chemical cleaners, as they are unnecessary for our premium finishes and could potentially dull the luster over time.
Our metal art is engineered to be sturdy yet lightweight. Most pieces are designed to be hung with a single nail. They often feature built-in spacers that allow the art to sit 1.5 cm away from the wall, creating a beautiful 3D shadow effect that adds depth to the script.
Turkey is the historical heart of Islamic calligraphy. By manufacturing in our Turkish workshop, we employ craftsmen who have inherited centuries of artistic tradition. This ensures that the proportions of every letter are aesthetically and scripturally perfect, a quality mass-produced items cannot match.
The screws in the metal wall art are for the hanging bracket on the back and for the blind feet to provide a 3D view. Never attempt to remove them.
