This stamp marks a major milestone in pan-Islamic history, celebrating the dawn of the 15th Century Hijri ($1401\text{ AH}$ / $1980\text{ CE}$). The central illustration details a modern Omani mosque design featuring a prominent dome and an elegant, towering minaret.The architectural drawing is beautifully framed by an intricate white and coral arabesque floral scrollwork pattern, carrying a powerful message of religious devotion, spiritual renewal, and cultural depth. Symmetrically flanked in the upper corners by the national emblem (Khanjar), the piece utilizes a rich green background—the traditional color of Islamic heritage—to anchor Oman's expanding religious infrastructure and civic identity firmly within the global Islamic community.
