Nine Names of Allah in Green Calligraphy

Pattern description

This cross-stitch pattern presents nine of the Ninety-Nine Names of Allah (Asma ul-Husna) in elegant Arabic calligraphy, each rendered in a rich forest green against a cream Aida fabric background. The names include Al-Wahid (The One), Al-Mu'min (The Bestower of Faith), and As-Salaam (The Source of Peace), among others—each name representing a divine attribute central to Islamic theology and devotional practice.

The design employs only two DMC thread colors, making it an ideal beginner-level counted cross-stitch project that teaches fundamental needle techniques while creating a spiritually meaningful piece. The decorative vine-and-leaf border that frames the vertical arrangement of names adds traditional elegance and creates visual balance on the simple 79×79 stitch count canvas. Perfect as a meditative stitching project or as Islamic home decor, this pattern offers both accessibility and depth—combining accessible stitching skills with profound spiritual significance suitable for prayer rooms, bedside spaces, or as a gift for someone seeking daily reminders of divine attributes.

The stitched lettering reads: الواحد (Al-Wahid — The One)

المحكيم (Al-Muhyi — The Giver of Life)

السلاوة (As-Salaam — The Source of Peace)

المؤمن (Al-Mu'min — The Bestower of Faith)

الباقيت (Al-Bāqī — The Everlasting)

الشهيد (Ash-Shahīd — The Witness)

الحصفة (Al-Hafīz — The Preserver)

الواكل (Al-Wakīl — The Trustee)

الستيرن (As-Satīr — The Concealer).
