NAME OF THE WORK:"Hoow..." DRAWING DATE:19.02.2000
Here you see the Arabic form of the pronoun "He". It is read as "Hoow".
In Islamic
literature, especially in Sufizm, this word has a great significance.
Because when the word "Hoow" is said "The Lord Of the Worlds Allah"
is remembered. This is because in many verses of
The Holy Koran (look: {2:29}, {3:2},
{7:187}, {10:107}, {13:30}, {44:7}, {74:31}), Allah
talks about himself by using the word "Hoow".

English meaning of the verses: "In the name of
Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1-Woe unto the defrauders, 2-Those who when they take the measure from
mankind demand it full, 3-But if they measure unto them or weight for them,
they cause them loss, 4-Do such men not consider that they will be raised
again, 5-Unto an awful Day, 6-The day when all mankind stand
before The Lord of the Worlds."

NAME:"The Verses 1-6 Of Chapter Mutaffefeen (Defrauding)" YEAR:1999
This work was made to be used as a picture on a jeweller shop`s calendar.
As you know "weighting in justice" is very important in jewellery business.
And when you read the Holy Koran you see many verses related weighting in
justice (look: {6:152}, {7:85}, {11:84-85}, {55:8-9}, {57:25}).
And this chapter (surah) of the Koran is beginning especially mentioning
about this subject. So we found that to use such an image on a Muslim
jeweller`s calendar was very suitable.
The picture of the scale was found from the Internet by making a search. And
the verses composed onto the scale image.
These verses are very nice examples of the education method of
Allah
in The Holy Koran.
In The Koran, sometimes He tells us about the people and tribes in the
history; sometimes tells the good and bad deeds directly and sometimes
implies in the examples. He wants the mankind to ponder what he tells and
not to do the deeds similar in badness what He told and to do the good deeds
similar in goodness what He told. We can see His this aim in these verses of
The Koran: "(This is) a Scripture that we have revealed unto you
(Muhammad), full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations,
and that men of understanding may reflect." (38:29),
"And in truth We have made the Koran easy to remember; but will any take
heed ?" (54:17,22,32,40)
So, by the verses in the work, Allah (swt) commands the people always to
behave each other in justice and "to behave the others as good as they expect
from the others". In the verses we see two of the main beliefs of Islam: to
believe only one God "Allah" The Lord of the Worlds, to believe that everybody
will be raised again after death and held responsible in the hereafter whatever they
did in their life on the world.

Judgement is! 18-Again, what will convey to you what the Day of Judgement
is! 19-A day on which no soul has power at all for any other. The absolute
command on that day is Allah`s."
