Calligraphy on Tombstones

Calligraphy on Gravestones/cenotaphs are an art in itself.
Here we have ayat 26-27 of Surah Rahman with a message for humans about their mortality and transitory nature of material possessions.
Only Almighty God will endure.

“Kullu man ‘alaihaa faan
Wa yabqaa wajhu rabbika zul jalaali wal ikraam”

All that is on earth will perish,
only the Person of your Lord, full of majesty and splendour, will endure.
