"Misbah" embodies the concept of the lamp as described in a verse from Surah Al-Noor. The lamp symbolizes divine guidance, its light illuminating the path to righteousness and clarity.
The artwork features a circular design, reflecting the all-encompassing nature of Allah's light, which extends to every corner of existence. Geometric patterns radiate outward from the center, visually mirroring the spreading brilliance of the lamp's light.
The primary color, golden yellow, represents light and guidance, while the secondary color, deep blue, symbolizes the infinite night illuminated by the lamp.
