Islamic Calligraphy Painting "La illaha illal ALLAH, Muhammedir Rasoolul ALLAH"

Al-humdulillah, I finished this a week ago.  Please let me know what you think!


16" x 20" acrylic with glitter on flat canvas, framed. It reads "There is no God buy ALLAH, and Muhammed (saas) is his Messenger"

The same painting at a direct view. I must admit, I take horrible pictures, insha ALLAH I work on that!

Wa Huwa 'Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadeer


25 x 40 acrylic on stretched canvas w/ gorgeous gold and black antique frame. 

This was one of my favourite to work on. The background is aged a bit with layers of paint to thicken the texture, then rubbed or wiped off with water and a cloth. This gives it a vintage look, which I am totally obsessed with! I added a damask-like corner border to compliment the Arabic calligraphy in the opposite corner, which is a segment from the Holy Qur'an that reads  wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer (and ALLAH has power over all things). The black and gold antique Victorian  frame is exactly what this picture needed to complete this work of art. May ALLAH bless the person who has purchased this painting, AMEEN.
