A3 rolled canvas — $16.66 · A3 framed — $27.77 · A2 framed — $54.16
A calligraphy paint carrying a complete phrase of repentance in Thuluth: «أستغفر الله مما كان» (“I ask God’s forgiveness for all that has been”).
A calligrapher’s own line. It was written by a calligrapher and comes whole from a licensed 2023 Thuluth sheet — the letters, their joins and the vowel marks are the hand’s own, never assembled letter by letter. Mashq Studio sets it on the canvas, printed with crisp archival detail, exactly as shown.
Prices are per piece and include the frame when you choose one. Pick Frameless (canvas only) for the rolled canvas on its own, or any of the eight hand-finished mouldings — polished gold, matte black, antique gold, light wood, oak, dark walnut, white, silver.
Canvas, with or without acrylic glass. Printed on cotton canvas, either rolled unframed or stretched over a bar and framed by hand. Choose Canvas + acrylic glass and the framed piece is glazed under clear acrylic, which protects the print; abroad, a paint travels rolled in a rigid tube, unframed.
Worldwide Express, at the shipping rate shown at checkout. Delivered within 8 days by tracked courier.

Open this exact paint in Mashq Studio — change its colours or its sheet, or write your own words, then order your version.
Where it hangs. A line for a quiet place: a prayer corner, a study, the wall facing a reading chair. Four words with their full vowel marks need room in Thuluth: an A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) above a prayer mat or a desk, an A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) on a wall of its own, hung at or above eye level.
Giving it. It is given in Ramadan, and to someone setting up a prayer room in a new home. The vowel marks are the calligrapher’s own, so the line can be read aloud exactly as it is written.

Quick answers
▸ How much is delivery, and when does it arrive?

▸ Can it be framed?
Prices include the frame when you choose one — eight hand-finished mouldings — or choose Frameless for the rolled canvas on its own.
▸ Which size suits my wall?
Measure the furniture first: the piece, or two side by side, should cover about two-thirds of its width, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor. A shelf or a desk: A4 or A3. A hallway, a study or a child’s room: A3 or A2. Above a console or a sideboard: A1 or 50 × 70 cm. Above a three-seat sofa: 100 × 70 cm or 90 × 120 cm, or two A1s. A majlis wall or a wide entrance: A0 or 90 × 120 cm. Above five words, start from A2.
▸ Can I have a different phrase or size?
Yes — open this exact paint in Mashq Studio (the link above), write any phrase, and order your version.
▸ Is it an original paint?
It is a print, made to order in our workshop exactly as shown — not a hand-written original. For originals by named calligraphers, see the artists page.
▸ Can you wrap it as a gift?
Yes — add Gift Wrapping, $5.55 per order however many pieces, and write your message under “Order instructions” in your cart, or send it to us on WhatsApp; it travels on a card with no price on it, and we can ship straight to the recipient.
▸ Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, free of charge, within 12 hours of ordering — message us on WhatsApp or at connect@mashq.ae. After that your piece is being made, and the order can’t be cancelled or changed.
▸ What is it made of?
Cotton canvas — rolled, or stretched and framed by hand — and a framed piece can be glazed under clear acrylic glass.
▸ How do I look after it?
Dust the canvas with a soft, dry cloth, never a damp one, and hang it out of strong direct sun. Behind acrylic glass, wipe the glass with a soft cloth and a little mild soapy water — never an ammonia window spray or a paper towel, which cloud and scratch acrylic.
▸ Does software touch it?
The letterforms are a real typeface shaped in Mashq Studio; what you see is the vector we make. No image model draws or repaints a letter.
