Meaning of this Muslim calligraphic motif

I design a newsletter for a group with an interest in religious ecumenism, and have chosen a Muslim calligraphic motif to illustrate an article about a lecture on Islam – but I want to know what it means.
I've chosen this calligraphic motif from this free font and just want to make sure it's relevant to the topic and not a hovercraft full of eels. Anyone?

Not sure what THAT means.

"Allah has taught man that which he knew not"
