In this painting, the words 'Allah' in the eight-pointed star known as the Mohammadan Star and 'Al-Hakeem' (All the Wise), one of the divine attributes, in the rectangular frame appear in golden yellow, representing light or 'Nur'. 'Nur' also appears in green, a colour usually associated with the Islamic faith above the Mohammadan Star. The light or 'Nur' that spreads to all domains of the painting represents the Divinity beyond name.
