ABOUT THE COVER

The black background of the front cover represents
darkness and ignorance, while the white color of the letters
represents light and knowledge.
The image is a Kufi calligraphy of the Word of Unity: “La
ilaha illallah; Muhammad Rasulullah” which means,
“There is no concept such as ‘god’, there is only that which
is denoted by the name Allah, and Muhammad (SAW) is
the Rasul of this understanding.”
The placement of the calligraphy, being on top and above
everything else on the page, is a symbolic representation of
the predominant importance this understanding holds in
the author’s life.
The green light, reflecting from the window of the Word
of Unity, opens up from the darkness into luminosity to
illustrate the light of Allah’s Rasul. This light is embodied in
the book’s title through the author’s pen and concretized
as the color white, to depict the enlightenment the author
aims to attain in this field. As the knowledge of Allah’s
Rasul disseminates, those who are able to evaluate this
knowledge attain enlightenment, which is represented by
the white background of the back cover.
