This museum-quality work is sculpted and hand-painted to the best historic specifications scholars have discovered about the actual ark. Rich with the colors of an Egyptian palette, this collectible work of art opens to hold your treasures. Commandments are said to have been kept in an ornate box much like this sculptural interpretation of an 18th-century drawing, along with Aaron‘s rod, a staff endowed with miraculous power, and a pot of manna, an edible substance that God provided to the Israelites following the Exodus. In the Bible and Torah, God provides Moses detailed instructions for how to build the Arc including that it should be gilded with gold and covered with 2 golden cherubim, the Arc is then to be covered with a veil. Complete with Guardian Cherubim and ornate embellishments. The Ark of the Covenant is described in the Bible as a holy container where the 10 Commandments and other holy Israelite objects are held. According to the Bible, Yahweh commanded the ark be built when Moses had a prophetic vision at Sinai (Exodus 25:9-10).

Some people believe the Ark contained Aaron’s Rod, a jar of Manna, and the first Torah Scroll written by Moses, based on their reading of Book of Exodus, Book of Numbers, and the Letter to the Hebrews. The first of the Books of Kings says that during the time of King Solomon, the Ark held only the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew word aron is used in the Bible to designate any type of ark or chest, for any purpose (Genesis 50:26; 2 Kings 12:9, 10). The Ark of the Covenant is distinguished from all others by such titles as “Ark of God” (1 Samuel 3:3), “Ark of the Covenant” (Josh 3:6; Hebrews 9:4), “Ark of the Testimony” (Ex. 25:22). The Ark (aron kodesh in Hebrew meaning holy cupboard) is a raised cupboard found in Jewish Synagogues which contains the Holy Torah scrolls. These are all written by hand and can take years to make. It is always on the wall of the Synagogue which faces towards Jerusalem. When the Ark is opened and the Torah removed for reading everyone stands in respect of God. During some prayers and services the Ark doors an inner curtain (parochet) are kept open. The Bible describes the Ark as made of acacia or shittah-tree wood. It was a cubit and a half broad and high, and 2 and a half cubits long (about 130 cm × 78 cm × 78 cm or 4.29 feet × 2.57 feet × 2.57 feet, for Egyptian royal cubit was most likely used). The Ark was covered all over with the purest gold.

The 10 Commandments of God:

I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not make to thyself any graven thing; nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. You shall not adore them nor serve them;
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain;
Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day;
Honor your father and your mother;
You shall not kill;
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor;
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife;
You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

Silver Kaftan “with 99 Names of Allah” Statue

This Islamic Silver Kaftan Statue is made of polyester, making this a strong Islamic trinket so being durable and made to last. Asma al Husna Caftan, a decorative islamic jewel made in Turkey, will suit your unique style to create an harmonious spiritual environment as a decoration. The 99 Names of Allah (Asma ul Husna in Arabic), are the Names of God which are described in the 114 Surahs of Holy Quran and Sunnah, amongst other places. There are many benefits of memorizing 99 names of Allah. There is a tradition in Sufism to the effect the 99 names of God point to a mystical “Most Supreme and Superior Name” (ismu l- ‘A ‘zam). This “Greatest Name of God” is said to be “the one which if He is called (prayed to) by it, He will answer“. A Kaftan or Caftan (Persian: Khaftān) is a variant of the robe or tunic. Originating in Asia, it has been worn by a number of cultures around the world for thousands of years. In Russian usage, Kaftan instead refers to a style of men’s long suit with tight sleeves. Though the Kaftan is of ancient Mesopotamian (modern-day Iraq) origin, it has been used by many West and Southwest Asian ethnic groups. It may be made of wool, cashmere, silk, or cotton, and may be worn with a sash.

Popular during the time of the Ottoman Empire, detailed and elaborately designed garments were given to ambassadors and other important guests at the Topkapi Palace. Variations of the kaftan were inherited by cultures throughout Asia and were worn by individuals in Russia (North Asia, Eastern Europe and formerly Central Asia), Southwest Asia and Northern Africa. Styles, uses, and names for the kaftan vary from culture to culture. The Kaftan is often worn as a coat or as an overdress, usually having long sleeves and reaching to the ankles. In regions with a warm climate, it is worn as a light-weight, loose-fitting garment. In some cultures, the kaftan has served as a symbol of royalty. According to Encyclopedia of Islam, this fashion came up quite early among Arabs under the influence of Persian fashions. In Arabic, the word khaftān is used just like in Persian. It is described as a long robe as far as the calves sometimes or just under the knee. It is open at the front and the sleeves are slight cut at the wrists or even as far as to the middle of the arms. D’Arvieux in his travels in the 17th century mentions Syrian Amirs and Bedouin Sheikhs wearing the kaftan as winter garments. Silver Kaftan “with 99 Names of Allah” Statue sizes: 9.4 inches / 24 cm x 5.1 inches / 13 cm x 3 inches / 7.5 cm.

Ark of The Covenant “Trinket Box” Statue

This gorgeous Ark of The Covenant Statue has fine details and is sculpted and handcrafted to the finest detail in cold cast metal (Bronze pewter) finish. The Ark of the Covenant (the Ark of the Testimony, or the Ark of God), is the most sacred relic of the Israelites. It consisted of a pure gold-covered wooden chest with an elaborate lid called the Mercy seat. The Ark is described in the Book of Exodus as containing the 2 stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. According to New Testament Book of Hebrews, it also contained Aaron’s rod and a pot of manna. The biblical account relates that, approximately one year after the Israelites‘ exodus from Egypt, the Ark was created according to the pattern given to Moses by God when the Israelites were encamped at the foot of Mount Sinai. Thereafter, the gold-plated acacia chest was carried by its staves by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits (approximately 800 meters or 2,600 feet) in advance of the people when on the march or before the Israelite army, the host of fighting men. God spoke with Moses “from between the 2 cherubim” on the Ark’s cover.

According to the Book of Exodus, God instructed Moses to build the Ark during his 40-day stay upon Mount Sinai. He was shown the pattern for the tabernacle and furnishings of the Ark, and told that it would be made of wood to house the Tablets of Stone. Moses instructed Bezalel and Aholiab to construct the Ark. The Book of Exodus gives detailed instructions on how the Ark is to be constructed. It is to be 21⁄2 cubits in length, 11⁄2 in breadth, and 11⁄2 in height (approximately 131 × 79 × 79 cm or 52 × 31 × 31 in). Then it is to be gilded entirely with gold, and a crown or molding of gold is to be put around it. 4 rings of gold are to be attached to its 4 corners, 2 on each side, and through these rings staves of wood overlaid with gold for carrying the Ark are to be inserted, and these are not to be removed. A golden lid, the kapporet (translated as “mercy seat” or “cover”), which is ornamented with 2 golden cherubim, is to be placed above the Ark. The Ark is finally to be placed under a veil to conceal it. Ark of The Covenant “Trinket Box” Statue sizes: 11 inches / 28 cm x 4.5 inches / 11.5 cm x 7.5 inches / 19 cm.

Gold Masjid Al Haram Mecca Statue

This Gold Mecca Statue is made of polyester so it has resistance against abrasion, it is a long life product, and comes in a variety of colors and patterns, many based on traditional patterns, and will suit your unique style to create a harmonious spiritual environment as a decoration. The Masjid Al Haram Statue is made with the finest craftsmanship and the finest materials, resulting in a statue of incredible value. Masjid al-Haram (The Sacred Mosque), also known as the Great Mosque of Mecca, is a mosque that surrounds the Kaaba in Mecca, in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia. It is a site of pilgrimage in the Hajj, which every Muslim must do at least once in their lives if able, and is also the main phase for the ʿUmrah, the lesser pilgrimage that can be undertaken any time of the year. The rites of both pilgrimages include circumambulating the Kaaba within the mosque. The Great Mosque includes other important significant sites, including the Black Stone, the Zamzam Well, Maqam Ibrahim, and the hills of Safa and Marwa. As of August 2020, the Great Mosque is the largest mosque and the 8th largest building in the world. It has undergone major renovations and expansions through the years.

It has passed through the control of various caliphs, sultans and kings, and is now under the control of the King of Saudi Arabia who is titled the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. The Great Mosque contends with the Mosque of the Companions in the Eritrean city of Massawa and Quba Mosque in Medina as the oldest mosque. Some scholars, who reference Islamic tradition and the Quran, explain that the Islamic perspective claims that Islam as a religion preceded Muhammad, representing previous prophets such as Abraham. Abraham is credited by Muslims with having built the Kaaba in Mecca, and consequently its sanctuary, which according to the Muslim view is seen as the first mosque that ever existed. According to other scholars, Islam started during the lifetime of Muhammad in the 7th century CE, and so did architectural components such as the mosque. In that case, either the Mosque of the Companions or Quba Mosque would be the first mosque that was built in the history of Islam. Masjid Al Haram Mecca Statue measures: 11.8 inches / 3 cm x 7.1 inches / 3 cmx 2.75 inches / 3 cm.

Islamic Gold Moon and Star Statue, Religious, Islamic, & Planets Statues, Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue

Islamic Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue

This Islamic Gold Moon and Star Statue is made of polyester, making this a strong Islamic trinket so being durable and made to last. Excellent and unique designed model produced in Turkey to create an harmonious spiritual environment as a decoration. This work of art is full of verses embroidered and is made with the finest craftsmanship and the finest materials, resulting so in an object of incredible value. The Star and Crescent Moon is an iconographic symbol used in various historical contexts, including as a prominent symbol of the Ottoman Empire, with numerous modern countries still using it as a national symbol. It was developed in the Greek colony of Byzantium 300 BCE, though it became more widely used as the royal emblem of Pontic King Mithradates VI Eupator after he incorporated Byzantium into his kingdom for a short period. During the 5th century, it was present in coins minted by the Persian Sassanian Empire. The symbol was represented in the coins minted across the empire throughout the Middle East for more than 400 years from the 3rd century until the fall of the Sassanians after the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century.

The conquering Muslim rulers kept the symbol in their coinage during the early years of the caliphate, as the coins were exact replicas of the Sassanian coins. The symbol is the conjoined representation of a Crescent Moon and a Star. Both elements have a long prior history in the iconography of the Ancient Near East as representing either the Sun and Moon or the Moon and the Morning Star (or their divine personifications). Coins with crescent moon and star symbols represented separately have a longer history, with possible ties to older Mesopotamian iconography. The star, or Sun, is often shown within the arc of the crescent (also called star in crescent, or star within crescent, for disambiguation of depictions of a star and a crescent moon side by side). In Numismatics in particular, the term crescent and pellet is used in cases where the star is simplified to a single dot. The combination is found comparatively rarely in late medieval and early modern heraldry. It rose to prominence with its adoption as the flag and national symbol of the Ottoman Empire and some of its administrative divisions (eyalets and vilayets) and later in the 19th century Westernizing tanzimat (reforms). The Ottoman flag of 1844, with a white ay-yıldız (Turkish for “crescent-star“) on a red background, continues to be in use as the flag of the Republic of Turkey, with minor modifications.

Other states formerly part of the Ottoman Empire also used the symbol, including Libya (1951-1969 and after 2011), Tunisia (1831) and Algeria (1958). The same symbol was used in other national flags introduced during the 20th century, including the flags of Azerbaijan (1918), Pakistan (1947), Malaysia (1948), Singapore (1959), Mauritania (1959), Uzbekistan (1991), Turkmenistan (1991) and Comoros (2001). In the later 20th century, the star and crescent moon have acquired a popular interpretation as a “Symbol of Islam“, occasionally embraced by Arab nationalism or Islamism in the 1970s to 1980s but often rejected as erroneous or unfounded by Muslim commentators in more recent times. Unlike the Cross, which is a symbol of Jesus’ Crucifixion in Christianity, there is no solid link that connects the star and crescent moon symbol with the concept of Islam. The connotation is widely believed to have come from the flag of Ottoman Empire, which was one of the largest empires of the early modern period. Unicode introduced a “star and crescent moon” character in its Miscellaneous Symbols block, at U+262A (☪).

The term Tawhid instead, also spelled Tauhid, Arabic Tawḥīd, “making one“, “asserting oneness“, in Islam, the Oneness of God, in the sense that He is One and there is no God but He, as stated in the shahādah “witness” formula: “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is His prophet“. Tawhid further refers to the nature of that God, that He is a Unity, not composed, not made up of parts, but simple and uncompounded. The doctrine of the Unity of God and the issues that it raises, such as the question of the relation between the essence and the attributes of God, reappear throughout most of Islamic history. In the terminology of Muslim mystics (Sufis), however, Tawhid has a pantheistic sense, all essences are divine, and there is no absolute existence besides that of God. To most Muslim scholars, the science of Tawhid is the systematic theology through which a better knowledge of God may be reached, but, to the Sufis, knowledge of God can be reached only through religious experience and direct vision. Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue sizes: 6 inches / 15 cm x 9 inches / 23 cm.

The Throne Verse (Arabic: Ayatul Kursi) is the 255th verse of the 2nd surah of the Quran, Al-Baqarah (Q2:255). The verse speaks about how nothing and nobody is regarded to be comparable to God. This is one of the best-known verses of the Quran and is widely memorised and displayed in the Muslim world. It is often recited as a practice of apotropaic magic to ward off jinn. Ayat al-Kursi is regarded as the greatest verse of Quran according to hadith. The verse is regarded as one of the most powerful in the Quran because when it is recited, the greatness of God is believed to be confirmed. The person who recites this ayah morning and evening will be under protection of God from the evil of the jinn and the shayatin (demons), this is also known as the daily adkhar. It is used in exorcism, to cure and protect from jinn and shayatin. Because the Throne Verse is believed to grant spiritual or physical protection, it is often recited by Muslims before setting out on a journey and before going to sleep. The verse is also used for safety and survival from khabis jinns for all the day. Reciting the verse after every prayer is believed to grant entry to paradise.

The Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall. The Pomegranate was originally described throughout the Mediterranean region. It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. The fruit is typically in season in the Northern Hemisphere from October to February, and in the Southern Hemisphere from March to May. As intact sarcotestas or juice, pomegranates are used in baking, cooking, juice blends, meal garnishes, smoothies, and alcoholic beverages, such as cocktails and wine. Pomegranates are widely cultivated throughout the Middle East and Caucasus region, north and tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the drier parts of Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean Basin.

The name Pomegranate derives from medieval Latin pomum “apple” and granatum “seeded“. Possibly stemming from the old French word for the fruit, pomme-grenade, the pomegranate was known in early English as “apple of Grenada“, a term which today survives only in heraldic blazons. This is a folk etymology, confusing the Latin granatus with the name of the Spanish city of Granada, which derives from Arabic. Garnet derives from Old French grenat by metathesis, from Medieval Latin granatum as used in a different meaning “of a dark red color“. This derivation may have originated from pomum granatum, describing the color of pomegranate pulp, or from granum, referring to “red dye, cochineal“. Gold Pomegranate with Ayatul Kursi (The Throne Verse) Statue measures: 5.12 inches / 13 cm x 3.94 inches / 10 cm.

Islamic Muslim Egg Statue, Religious, Islamic & Eggs Statues, Ramadan Arabic Ayatul Kursi Egg Statue

Islamic Muslim Egg “Ayatul Kursi” Statue

Islamic Muslim Egg Statue, a beautiful egg sculpture engraved with Ayatul Kursi; comes in Blue, white or Mother of Pearl color, accented with rhinestones. Perfect to use as Muslim home decor on mantle or bookshelf. Made in Turkey, due to the manufacturing process and hand-finished detailing, this Ramadan Arabic Ayatul Kursi Egg Statue may have minor imperfections. Muslims are people who follow or practice Islam, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion. The derivation of “Muslim” is from an Arabic word meaning “submitter (to God)“. Muslims consider the Quran, their holy book, to be the verbatim word of God as revealed to the Islamic prophet and messenger Muhammad. The majority of Muslims also follow their own versions of compilations claimed to be the teachings and practices of Muhammad (sunnah) as recorded in traditional accounts (hadith).

The beliefs of Muslims include: that God (Allah) is eternal, transcendent and absolutely one (tawhid); that God is incomparable, self-sustaining and neither begets nor was begotten; that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has been revealed before through many prophets including Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, and Jesus; that these previous messages and revelations have been partially changed or corrupted over time (tahrif) and that the Quran is the final unaltered revelation from God. There are certain verses in the Quran that were revealed by Allah to help guide us. They are so powerful that by simply reciting them you, your home and your family would be protected from many evils and from the powers of Shaitan.

The verse Ayah 255 from Surah Baqarah commonly referred to as Ayatul Kursi (meaning “The Throne“). It is likely the most well known ayat across the entire Ummah, estimation is that hundreds of million of people know it by heart. It would more difficult to find a believing Muslim who doesn’t know Ayatul Kursi than one who does. This is something you really can’t say about many other verses from the Quran. The Throne Verse is the 255th verse of the 2nd surah of the Quran, Al-Baqarah (Q2:255). The verse speaks about how nothing and nobody is regarded to be comparable to God. This is one of the best-known verses of the Quran and is widely memorised and displayed in the Muslim world. It is often recited as a practice of apotropaic magic to ward off jinn.

Jinn, also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genie (with the broader meaning of spirit or demon, depending on source) are supernatural creatures in early pre-Islamic Arabian and later Islamic mythology and theology. Like humans, they are created with fitra, neither born as believers nor as unbelievers, but their attitude depends on whether they accept God’s guidance. Since jinn are neither innately evil nor innately good, Islam acknowledged spirits from other religions, and was able to adapt spirits from other religions during its expansion. Jinn are not a strictly Islamic concept; they may represent several pagan beliefs integrated into Islam.
