In yet another verse Husain AS explains his pure lineage through the following verse:

فضة قد صبغت من ذهب
و انا الفضة وابن الذهبين

Translation: “Silver that is hued with gold! For I am Silver and the son of the two Golds” (my father and mother).

The main motif:

The inspiration is drawn from a multi petal medallion that appears on the facade of a Fatimid Jame’ - al Aqmar in Cairo.

The brilliance of Fatimid architecture is that each monument has a theme that repeats throughout the space. The Jame’ al Anwar, where ‘Anwar’ translates to ‘The Radiant’, has the theme of Noor and Light and that can be observed in the motifs and calligraphy engraved.

Jame’-al Aqmar is themed around planets, stars and most importantly, the moon. The name Aqmar itself translates to “Moonlit, Luminous”. In ancient sciences throughout the world, the moon is often equated with silver, and the sun with gold.

The medallions in Al-Aqmar are pierced so that the sunlight and moonlight would shine through them beautifully inside the mosque, illuminating it. The sunlight glows mimicking gold, and the moon shines like silver- therefore, the petals are painted using 2 different golds, and the epicentre unfurls into silver to signify the Silver ( Imam Husain AS) that is born from the Two Golds (Imam Ali AS and Moulatena Fatema AS).
