Words as Graphics


Speaking as someone whose works are mostly based on visual graphic, how can words be proportionate and symmetrical? Maybe as it is in the Quran? Then, how can Quranic words speak more than any other form of graphic communications?

Words, is a very effective form of conversation, also by adapting certain level of visual experiences. However, unlike other visual experiences that perceived to be more graphic, it doesn't go through the prejudice of the eyes, but the naked minds that are interpreting it throughout, sometimes more direct, and sometimes more abstract. There comes the answer to the questions on why Allah chose the mean of writings, in the form of Al Quran that are somehow allegoric and in fact more graphic, than other visual graphics to 'reveal' Himself and His infinite power to the mankind.
As He said in the Quran, He, the one who taught with the use of Pen; taught man that which he knew not. (96:4-5)


May Allah lead us to the reality of 'ilm and not only by how we perceive them. Amen.
