This pendant represents Surah Al-‘Alaq (96:1-5), the first verses revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
“Read in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clot. Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous – who taught by the pen – taught man that which he knew not.”
These verses embody the central role of knowledge and learning in Islam.
Wearing this pendant means keeping close the reminder of the very first revelation – the foundation of the Islamic tradition. More than jewelry, it becomes a talisman of wisdom, light, and spiritual memory.
You can personalize the back with your initials, names joined by a heart, or your wedding date. This makes the pendant a unique and intimate keepsake.
Handmade by Ahmad, a jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City, this pendant reflects traditional Palestinian artistry. Crafted in sterling silver 925, it embodies both elegance and authenticity. A sterling silver chain is included.

Ahmad is a third-generation jeweler, continuing his family's legacy in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, where he runs his own workshop. A true artisan and artist, he handcrafts each piece of jewelry from start to finish with exceptional care and precision.
Specializing in gold and silver, Ahmad is particularly passionate about antique Palestinian coins, which he transforms into unique, history-infused jewelry pieces. He also offers customizable designs and a refined collection of Roman glass jewelry, made from nearly 2,000-year-old fragments found in Palestine.
Since October 7, 2023, Ahmad—like many Palestinian artisans in Jerusalem—has faced a devastating situation. With the disappearance of tourism and the closure of most shops in the Old City, he has been unable to sell his work. On top of this, he faces regular harassment from the Israeli police due to his creations rooted in Palestinian heritage.
Now 35 years old and the father of three children, Ahmad continues to create with passion and resilience, driven by his love for his craft, the memory of his land, and the vital support of people like you.
