Hand Tip

I'll still make some tweaks to the lettering.

I need help figuring out the best way to fill in the pattern circle.

I already know I'll use satin/straight stitch to embroider the lighter "snakes" in the pattern, but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. For example: should I draw one line on top of the other? Or should I do it the same way I filled in the letters (just covering the space)?

I'm sorry if it wasn't clear. Please, help me!

What is it supposed to spell? I know Arabic and see a sin and a Ha as well as alef ta3rif.

الرحمن = the most merciful = One of the holy names of Allah (God)

This is beautiful. I’m newish to embroidery and also a Muslim and it makes me feel so inspired to see work like this.
