salaam aleikum..



I really like this one, but I'm not sure what it means. I am learning Arabic but I'm not good enough to read and translate yet.

Could someone please translate it to English for me?

Thanks.

HELP!!The Art Of Islamic Calligraphy

hi! I see that you are a POSSIBLE native arabic speaker, and I was wondering if you can help me out a bit, and determine which one sounds better when I want the phrase:

Life is worth living because there is love 

 الحياة تستحق العيش لان الحب موجود   .1

or,

2. الحياة تستحق العيش لأن هناك حب

and to the one that is better, is the "spelling" and grammar used correctly? 

THANKS A LOT!
