SOURATES

«bārak Allāhu fīk», may the baraka be on you



In the medinas of Rabat, Meknes and Tangier, I notice, hanging on the walls of shops, engravings of Arabic calligraphy that turn out to be verses from the Koran, the SURAHS.
Suras play a central role in understanding the sacred text. For some years, samples of pieces of cloth, intended to be exhibited on the walls, are marked with Quranic verses. Some people say that posting Suras is illegal. Others say that Muslims should remember the words of Allah, and why not, by using modern methods for awareness and information. Today they are also displayed as a means of protection, as ornaments or amulets. In the shops of the medinas, some traders display them to protect against fire and theft, or to get luck and prosperity, in other words, the BARAKA..
