Number 4

The point is threefold, my chosen adorner; once you have heard it, say: we submit. Blackness is surely a kind of whiteness; look at the dark body of the Ahmadi light.
Explanation: 'We submit' renders the Arabic 'sallamna', an expression of acceptance. 'Ahmadi' refers to the Prophet Muhammad (Ahmad), and the black and white play on the paradox of hidden light within darkness.
