This high-value companion issue commemorating the 15th Century Hijri highlights pan-Islamic diplomacy, sacred geography, and regional solidarity. The central medallion features a stylized, white calligraphic Arabic letter Hā’ , symbolizing the Hijri calendar, which artfully encloses the silhouettes of Islam's two holiest sanctuaries: the Kaaba in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina (distinguished by its iconic Green Dome).Set against a vibrant orange and violet striped sunset sky, the design conveys a profound message of spiritual unity, historical endurance, and layered identity. By weaving these universal symbols of faith into its official postal network, the Sultanate celebrates a momentous epoch of collective cultural reflection and shared global values.
