I found these advertising stands while browsing one of the famous malls in Sanaa, Yemen. The mall is the Libyan Trade Center (LTC, المركز الليبي التجاري) and these stands hold verses from the holy Qur’an.
1. The blue stand reads:
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, "Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near, but they turn away heedlessly." (Chapter 59, The Mobilization - Al-Hashr / Verse 18).
2. The red stand reads:
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, "O you who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul consider what it has forwarded for the morrow, and fear Allah. Allah is Aware of what you do." (Chapter 21, The Prophets - Al-Anbiya / Verse 1).
3. The yellow stand reads:
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, "And that the human being attains only what he strives for. And that his efforts will be witnessed." (Chapter 53, The Star - Al-Najm / Verses 39, 40).
3. The violet/pink stand reads:
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, " And tell the believing women to restrain their looks, and to guard their privates, and not display their beauty except what is apparent thereof, and to draw their coverings over their breasts." (Chapter 24, The Light- Al-Nur / Verse 31).
• The holy verses of the stands hold and were typed using typical Arabic diacritics included in the fonts, which are Diwan Software’s Muna and my own Nasser.
