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.

In the Name of Allah, We Begin; Welcome to Modern Islamic Art

Assalaamu Alaaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatu,


OK! So, I had a blog before. I ended up forgetting the password, so they re-sent it to my Hotmail account, which I also forgot the password for and the security question & answer.


Made a new account. Problem solved!


Al-humdulillah, after much ado, ALLAH has given me the pleasure to introduce to you an unique blog filled with Islamic Art, original paintings, calligraphy, henna patterns, links, ideas, videos, tips and much more!


Not only that, I haven't forgot the main purpose- to do any action or use any ability ONLY for the sake of ALLAH (swt) insha ALLAH ta'laa, and may ALLAH pardon our faults and reward us for our deeds-A M E E N.


I honestly believe Islamic Art is not given its proper applause. It's rich history and culture is rarely mentioned *bo0O0o* in books, universities or TV documentaries (other then Encyclopedias or Islamic books), without being distorted in some fashion. How many of type in "Islamic art" in the Google search bar and find pictures of Niqabi women holding a gun, or having half here body exposed in a pose. Or a particular bearded man screaming, or cartoons mocking Muslims...etc?


I also believe that several Muslims and Muslimahs are INCREDIBLY gifted in the  modern arts, only to find that it is culturally look down upon (compared to Desi and Arab standards of "You will be a doctor, you hear! A doctor!!").


With that, please stay tuned. Insha ALLAH I will have this blog up as soon as I can!


Jazak'um ALLAHu khairn
