The Portrait
What Muhamad asks of its bearer
The reading of Muhamad begins with Meem: an outward self made of love. At the interior, Ha (soft) brings an interior of life and breath; Meem brings an interior of love and water. These are what the name does without ever announcing it. The Dal resolves the name: the life resolves through guidance and return. The work of the name is to let muhammad live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
