What is written on the back of your hand?

As you can see from this picture and from reading the caption at the bottom of the picture the shape of your fingers portrays the name of Allah.

Cool, huh?

Now have a look at the other side of your hands.

The portrait at the left is a picture of a right hand.

Now look at your OWN right hand.

Go on, look at it closely.

In the middle of your hand you will see a figure that resembles the Arabic number for 18.

The portrait on the right is a picture of the left hand which also has a figure in the middle that resembles the Arabic number for 81.

Now for some Maths!

Add the two numbers. 18 + 81 = 99.

99? That is the amount of names for God in Islam.

Are you filled with wonder?

Are questions burning inside of you?

Let me help prod you...

Which side of your hand is more useful - front or back? The palm or the back?

Why did God create hands for us? (To eat? To hold materials?)

We do the above with the palm not the back.

If the same lettering is seen from the other side (the palm) it would be the name of Allah in reverse wouldn't it? A distorted image?

Why would our creator do that?

When Muslims pray do they have their palms or the back of their hands towards their eyes?

Now, earlier, I asked whether you were filled with wonder. 

It was not an innocent comment. A throwaway aside.

It was written equivalent of product placement.

You see there is a play called 'Wonder' coming up soon, in fact it's being performed here...in Brixton.

Oh yes and the Arabic on the back of your hands is discussed in the play.

Worth popping along to watch. There are two other plays being performed there too.
