The Portrait
What Fakhruddin asks of its bearer
The reading of Fakhruddin begins with Fa: an outward self that articulates. Through the interior, Kha brings an interior of secrets and subtlety; Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The Nun resolves the name: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. Read together, the letters ask him to embody pride of the religion as a lived structure, not merely a definition.
Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1150-1210) — his Quranic commentary Mafatih al-Ghayb contains 8 volumes of analysis on the opening Surah alone.
