What does Wa min ayatihi mean? Wa min ayatihi (often written “Wamin Ayatihi”) is Arabic for “And of His signs”. The phrase opens a series of verses in Surah Ar-Rum, chapter 30 of the Qur’an, that invite us to see Allah’s signs in creation, in marriage, in language and in the rhythm of night and day. The best-known of them, about marriage, is one of the most popular verses in Islamic wall art.
The Wa min Ayatihi Verse About Marriage
“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.”
— Qur’an 30:21, Saheeh International (quran.com)
This verse describes three gifts in marriage: tranquillity (sakan), affection (mawaddah) and mercy (rahmah). It is why Wa min ayatihi calligraphy is a favourite wedding and anniversary gift; see our Islamic wall art gifts guide.

Choosing Wa min Ayatihi Wall Art
- Check which verse it is. Most designs show 30:21, but other verses also begin with the same words.
- Check the Arabic. Compare the text with quran.com before printing.
- Consider a translation if the piece is a gift for someone who does not read Arabic.
- Place it respectfully, for example in a living room or bedroom, never a bathroom.
Where to Hang Wa min Ayatihi Wall Art
Because the verse about marriage speaks of tranquillity, affection and mercy, many couples choose a calm, shared space for it:
- Living room: above a sofa or sideboard, where it reminds the whole family of the blessing of a loving home.
- Hallway or entrance: a welcoming first sight for guests, especially in a newly married couple’s first home.
- Bedroom: a smaller, more personal piece above a dressing table or bedside, in soft, muted tones.
Personalising a Wedding Gift
Wa min ayatihi wall art becomes even more meaningful when it is made for a particular couple. Popular touches include the couple’s names or wedding date in English beneath the calligraphy, colours chosen to match their home, and a short card explaining the meaning of the verse. Whatever is added, the Qur’anic text itself should stay exactly as it appears in the Qur’an, checked letter by letter.
