The Portrait

What Salaheddine asks of its bearer

What carries Salaheddine into the world is Sad: an outward self of truth. Through the interior, Lam brings an interior bound by love and attachment; Alif brings an originary axis at the interior. These are the inward currents the name carries. The Nun resolves the name: the life resolves into what is preserved and written. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until Salah al-Din is not what the name says but what the life shows.
