About the message

This card presents an unattributed reflection about beginning change with oneself. The original artwork does not identify a speaker, so the phrase is documented as editorial wording rather than a Quran verse or hadith.

Behind the design

A white speech bubble holds the wording against a pale blue background. The restrained palette and simple shape make the short message the main focus.
