Hi All, I've been told that this plate (See attached image) probably has a phrase from the Quran. Is anyone able to translate it for me? Thanks in Advance!

Until someone gives you a more direct translation, I asked someone here and they said the sayings on the plate relate to "Virtues of Patience".

Quick google.

More of this stuff would be good. That Islamic/Arabic caligraphy is sublime.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

I've been told that one of the sections can be pronounced 'Dul Gha Rashyer' but again I've no Idea what that means.

I believe my father in law found this plate in a jumble sale somewhere. It's very intricate, the "celtic" style interleaving around the rim is an interesting style.
