Image of Hz Ali, 1:22

Description:

This frame shows the figure of Ali, known in Turkey as Hazret-i Ali or Hz Ali, formed in calligraphic letters. He is drawing the arrow of Ya Haqq, the symbol of truth. In Islamic contexts, the arrow is also interpreted as “what is right” and “reality.” Al-Haqq, the truth, is one of the names of God in the Qur’an. Shooting toward the heart, the arrow here signifies that the words of God—the truth—will create love.
