Calligraphy translation: (24:35, Quran)
Outer Circle: God is the light of the heaven and the earth. His light is
like a niche in which there is a lamp, the lamp is in a crystal, the crystal is like a shining start, lit from the soil of a blessed olive tree, located neither to the east nor the west, whose oil would almost glow, even without being touched by fire. Light upon light! God guides whoever He wills to His light. And God sets forth parables for humanity. For God has perfect knowledge of all things.
Inner Circle: Light upon light (repeated)
