Allahou Akbar

Material : Plywood .
Script type : Thuluth.
Scrolling time : 1 h.

"Allahou Akbar", means God (Allah) is Greater.
Note that many translations use "Greatest" instead...
"Akbar" means greater.
I like the usage of the Comparative against the Superlative...
Thinking of anything you'd consider great?... Then God is Greater.
"Allahou Akbar" is first call to Prayer.

A Labrador

I made this.
All though I don't like dogs very much.
Well they don't like me in fact, or the way I dress...
This is a Labrador Retriever.

Labs are exceptionally affable, gentle, intelligent, energetic and good natured, and are generally considered good companions for people of all ages (including a high level of patience and tolerance for children making them both excellent companions and working dogs.
Although somewhat boisterous if untrained, Labrador Retrievers respond well to praise and positive attention, and are considerably "food and fun" oriented. These dogs are loyal and good with little children. They may be used in shows. With training, the Labrador is one of the most dependable, obedient and multi-talented breeds in the world.
