How does this one look? (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)

I've been trying to make this one work, I feel like this looks better but what are your thoughts?

Trying to write my Arabic name, is this legible? If so I'll be crocheting it soon!

(edit: I'm just now as I'm posting this seeing the missing pixel on the last ي, I'm fixing it immediately so pretend that part looks right lol)

I'm designing a crochet pattern for a prayer rug and I can't tell which one I like better. I feel like the first one screams "GTA," but I love how big and bold it is, and the second one feels too busy to me. I'd love to get some second opinions.

Edit: Thanks for the clarification! I'm a relatively new revert and genuinely hadn't thought about it being disrespectful. I'll consider making a tapestry out of the بسم الله and make a different design for the prayer rug 💖 I appreciate you guys!

**Characters (names changed):**

* Me (28, non-binary woman, it/its)

* Zoe, my wife (27, woman, she/her)

* Stella, our friend (our age, non-binary, they/them)

So Zoe and I are polyamorous and have been since before we met each other six years ago. We date people separately and don't treat crushes like "unicorns" or "thirds," it's very important to clarify this because I know polyamory can get a bad reputation for that (justifyably so, so many couples treat women/femmes like the cure for their relationship. but I digress).

She and I have been crushing really hard on our friend Stella for months now. They're a very important friend to us, so we've been terrified of mentioning this to them. But they're so sweet and adorable, and they're good with our daughter, and I also think they've been dropping hints at both of us separately??? We just talked about this to each other tonight. Stella's mentioned polyamory a few times, and we're openly polyam so it's not super weird to consider this a hint, but like... aaaahhh! They've also done that whole "make eye contact and avert your eyes" thing that lesbians do, you know?

Please help these two useless lesbians out. Should we bring it up? Should we say nothing to maintain the friendship? Should we scream into the void? Maybe I should make extra salah??? HALP
