I Entrust My Affairs to Allah — Surah Ghafir 40:44

“And I Entrust My Affairs to Allah”

This striking work of Arabic calligraphy presents a powerful verse from the Qur’an:

وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ

Translation:
“And I entrust my affairs to Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Seeing of His servants.”
Surah Ghafir, also known as Surah Al-Mu’min, verse 44

Rendered in a bold Jali Thuluth composition, the verse is arranged through sweeping curves, strong vertical strokes, and carefully interwoven letterforms. The monumental character of Jali Thuluth gives the artwork a sense of strength and dignity, while the flowing structure reflects the calm surrender expressed in the words themselves.

The verse carries a deeply reassuring reminder: after making every sincere effort, the believer places the outcome in the hands of Allah. It speaks of trust during uncertainty, patience during difficulty, and confidence that nothing escapes Allah’s knowledge or care. The closing words, “Indeed, Allah is All-Seeing of His servants,” affirm that Allah sees every struggle, intention, prayer, and act of perseverance.

With its restrained monochrome palette and balanced composition, this artwork brings both visual presence and spiritual meaning to a space. It is particularly fitting for a home, office, study, prayer area, or any setting where one seeks a reminder to release worry, trust Allah’s wisdom, and move forward with faith.

More than a decorative piece, it is a daily reflection on tawakkul, the act of relying upon Allah while continuing to do what is within one’s ability.
