520 |a I have received your letter and the accompanying photograph, which you identified as that of a section of the frieze in the Supreme Courtroom, located in the capital, Washington, D.C. The frieze (tunf) portrays images of eighteen of the greatest leaders in human history who played a role in either establishing or enforcing laws or Shara'i. One of these images purports to represent the Prophet Muhammad (SAAS). The artist placed the Qur'an in one hand of this image, thus symbolically recognizing it as the source of Islamic legislation. In his other hand, the figure holds a sword symbolizing the power of the state. This second symbol is in recognition of the fact that the Prophet was also a leader of his community.
