Every soul shall taste death is an Arabic calligraphy by Aboulfazl Poursharif. “Every soul shall taste death” is the most-frequently quoted verse of the Quran about death. Which originally is part of “Every soul shall taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.”.

The artist of these digital arts is in love with black color. “The depth that a black color can give you is way deeper than any other color”

“In my youth I was always thinking about death and how the afterlife would look like. I always searched inside Quran to find verses that can explain death to me and nothing seems more realistic than this one” says Aboulfazl Poursharif.

It is very detailed and artistic. The original file of this NFT is nearly 60MB in CMYK color mode, so one can print it on paper if they want to hang it on the wall.

Many Islamic calligraphy is in Arabic and most Arabic calligraphy is Islamic, the two are not identical. Coptic or other Christian manuscripts in Arabic, for example, have made use of calligraphy. Likewise, there is Islamic calligraphy in Persian or the historic Ottoman language.

Arabic calligraphy is not only form of art that Mr Poursharif is interested in, he also have a very great passion for Persian calligraphy. Followings are two of his great works.
