Ten Names of Allah Green Aida Beginner

Pattern description

This cross-stitch pattern features ten Arabic names of Allah (Asma'ul-Husna) arranged vertically in a deep green thread on a natural-white Aida background. The specific names stitched are Ash-Shakur (The Grateful), Ash-Shakim, Ash-Shabibut, Ash-Shandibut, Al-Yasailib, Al-Hakeem (The Wise), and Ar-Raqib (The Watchful), each rendered in traditional Arabic script. A decorative leafy vine border frames all four sides, creating a balanced, symmetrical composition perfect for wall display or framed needlework.

Worked in just two DMC thread colors—a vibrant forest green and the white of the Aida ground—this 79×79 stitch design keeps complexity low while maintaining visual impact through bold letterforms and elegant border detail. The monochromatic approach suits beginner stitchers who want to practice consistent tension and rhythm without juggling multiple colors, making it an ideal first Islamic calligraphy project.

Gift-giving and home-decoration possibilities abound: frame it for a prayer room, bedroom, or entryway to serve as a daily spiritual reminder, or stitch multiple versions in different thread colors to build a coordinating series. The compact 79-stitch count stitches up quickly enough for gifting during Eid celebrations or as a thoughtful present for anyone seeking Islamic art that blends craftsmanship with devotion.

The stitched lettering reads: الشكور الشكور الشكور الشكور الشكيم الشنيبيت الشنديبيت اليسايليب الحكيم الرقيب الحضيرة (Ash-Shakur, Ash-Shakur, Ash-Shakur, Ash-Shakur, Ash-Shakim, Ash-Shabibut, Ash-Shandibut, Al-Yasailib, Al-Hakeem, Ar-Raqib, Al-Hadira — The Grateful, The Grateful, The Grateful, The Grateful, The Mighty, The Expander, The Preserver, The Gracious Ones, The Wise, The Watchful, The Present).
