A Gift Guide to Islamic Art: Weddings, Openings, Graduations
Work suggestions by occasion, for choosing a meaningful and lasting gift on special days.
Arakiye Editor·7 July 2026·1 min read

A handmade, one-of-a-kind work of art is a meaningful gift that lasts a lifetime, unlike gifts soon forgotten. Suggestions by occasion:
Wedding: Works on the theme of 'blessing' and union; a double vav (union), a verse panel, or blue-and-white tile.
New home / Opening: A blessing (Basmala, 'Ya Fettah') calligraphy panel for the entrance; a composition on abundance and provision for a workplace.
Graduation / Achievement: Calligraphy on knowledge and patience ('Rabbi zidni ilma'); a miniature to begin a young collection.
Corporate / Protocol: A tughra or a custom panel reflecting the institution's values.
Why Arakiye? Every work is one of a kind; it comes with a certificate of authenticity, the work's story and special gift packaging, shipped worldwide with insurance. Custom orders are possible.
