Kiswah, is the cloth that covers the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The part covering the door, is covered with richly embroidered Quranic verses, what I'm trying to write on canvas (in the video).
Quranic verses are written on it in Ath-Thuluth style of Arabic calligraphy.
Some Qur'anic verses written on kiswah are:
• THE THRONE VERSE (AYAT-AL-KURSI) is the 255th verse of the 2nd surah of the Quran, Al-Baqarah. The verse speaks about how nothing and nobody is regarded to be comparable to Allah. This is one of the best-known verses of the Quran
• SURAH AL-FATIHA (1st Surah of the Qur'an that's like a prayer for guidance, mercy of Allah)
• SURAH AL-IKHLAS (112th Surah, that speaks bout the monotheism, oneness of God),
we'll learn more verses on kiswah that we'll see in the next video Insha Allah.

I'm still working on this piece and part2 will come soon InShaAllah.
