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
