This early 21st century short calligraphic artwork (kıta), was made by Mohamed Zakariya (American, born 1942) in the tradition first established by Şeyh Hamdullah (d. 1520) over 500 years ago. Mohamed Zakariya not only continues to practice this historic artform, he also ensures its future by teaching a new generation of students from all over the world. This piece contains two lines of text in Arabic, translated as
I ask the forgiveness of God for my stumbles and for my sins
and for what I neglected and for what I did too much of.
