Ten Divine Names in Green Calligraphy

Pattern description

This counted cross-stitch pattern displays ten of the 99 Names of Allah in Arabic script, meticulously stitched in two shades of green. The visible names include Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful), As-Samee (The All-Hearing), Al-Baseer (The All-Seeing), Al-Hakeem (The All-Wise), As-Salam (The Peace), Al-Mu'min (The Guarantor), and others, each rendered in the traditional calligraphic style. The layout presents the names vertically, centered on pale Aida fabric, creating a serene and meditative composition.

Working this 79 × 79-stitch design is ideal for beginners, requiring just two DMC thread colors and straightforward counted cross-stitch technique on standard Aida cloth. The repeating rhythm of stitching each name builds confidence and familiarity with the sacred attributes themselves. The soft green palette—neither bold nor muted—conveys spiritual reverence while remaining accessible to needleworkers of all backgrounds. This piece makes a meaningful addition to any Muslim home or serves as a personal spiritual practice anchored in tactile needlework.
