Prayer Banner & Prayer Rugs
Muelder Chapel is now graced with beautiful gifts, increasing the space's hospitality to Muslim members of our community. Spiritual Life Coordinator Rev. Dr. Robin Olson reached out to our Boston University Muslim community for advice on making the Chapel a more welcoming place for one of our Muslim STH students. In generous response, BU Chaplain Mohammad Abderrazzaq donated a lovely original calligraphy, created by the renowned Chinese Arabic artist Haji Noor Deen Mi Guan Jiang. Haji Noor Deen's work is internationally celebrated, and is detailed at www.hajinoordeen.com.
He is a personal friend of Chaplain Abderrazzaq.
The banner's large Arabic calligraphy translates as follows: "In the Name of God, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful. O Lord." The smaller teardrop calligraphy translates, "You are our Protector. Forgive us and have mercy upon us. For You are The Most Forgiving, The Most Merciful."
In addition, the Islamic Society of Boston University (ISBU) donated two beautiful prayer rugs, presented by ISBU student President Sakina Nawshad Hassanali. The banner and prayer rugs are located in the eastern corner of the Chapel, the Qiblah (direction to Mecca) location.
Special thanks to STH archivist Kara Jackman for the art installation. Please stop by the Chapel, on the 3rd floor, to enjoy these beautiful gifts.
