Our latest Waraqaat hoodie carries more than a design — it carries a message.
On the front, it reads "الجنون فنون" — “Madness is a Skill.”
A phrase known among the People of Knowledge, reminding us that true mastery requires passion, consistency, and a touch of “madness.” Whether it’s learning Arabic, pursuing knowledge, or perfecting a craft — excellence demands that we give our all.
Around the hood, you’ll find the timeless words of Imam Al-Shafi‘i رحمه الله, beautifully capturing the spirit of effort and perseverance:
بقدر الكد تكتسب المعالى، ومن طلب العلا سهر الليالى
ومن طلب العلا من غير كدٍّ، أضاع العمر في طلب المحال
تروم العزّ ثم تنام ليلاً، يغوص البحر من طلب اللآلي
“By striving and effort, lofty ranks are gained,
And whoever seeks greatness stays awake at night.
But he who seeks glory without hard work,
Wastes his life chasing the impossible dream.
You wish for honor, yet you sleep through the night —
Know that the pearl diver reaches depths to find his gem.”
This hoodie is a reminder to push yourself, stay consistent, and love the process — because honor and understanding come only to those willing to strive.
Crafted for comfort and meaning, this piece isn’t just apparel — it’s a reflection of dedication, passion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
