Spiritual description of the holy star
This holy Ottoman star is not just a combination of metal, color and calligraphy, but a silent but living expression of the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the heart of a loving sultan. The presence of the Name of Allah (swt) at its center highlights the foundation of monotheism, while the blessed names of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Rightly Guided Caliphs (may Allah be pleased with him) around it symbolize the fact that faith, prophethood and caliphate are links in the same luminous chain.
The circle of Quranic verses, blessings and peace and spiritual remembrances proclaim that this holy star was created with love, literature and sincerity of intention. The turquoise color symbolizes heavenly peace and spiritual purity, the green color shows the connection with Medina, the satisfaction of the heart and the life of the soul, the red color is the messenger of love, sacrifice and selfless love, while the golden carving highlights the light of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the glory of the empire and the dignity of the Ottoman Caliphate.
Spiritual Trust and Current Relationship
Later in the year 2023, this luminous star was formally transferred to the spiritual healer Pir Usman Ghani Sahib. This sacred blessing keeps alive the fact in every image, every color and every letter that when empires bow at the feet of the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him), history becomes worship, and works of art take the form of spiritual trust and silently draw hearts towards Medina for centuries.
