Complete Faith in Allah swt
In short
The four Quls are the short surahs Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas. Surah Ikhlas is equal to a third of the Qur'an and is pure tawheed. Surah Al-Kafirun equals a quarter and protects from shirk. Al-Falaq and An-Nas protect from worldly evils such as envy, black magic and jinn.
Inspired by the concept of a shield which guards a believer who recites the 4 Quls with complete faith in Allah swt.
The last four Surahs in the Holy Quran are short yet very heavy as the benefits they provide are significant to the believer. These four Quls are known to provide "powerful protection". Hence, this painting symbolizes the concept of a shield which guards a believer who recites these surahs with complete faith in Allah swt. See how the painting is heavy in textures & movement yet the ayahs are guarded.
Benefits of Reciting 4 Quls:
Surah Ikhlaas: Equivalent to reciting 1/3rd of the Quran. Prophet Muhammad loved this Surah. Reciting this Surah 200 times a day will wipe away 50 years of sins, unless one is in debt (Tirmidhi).
Surah Ikhlaas is pure Tawheed which explains the immense benefits. Prophet Muhammad PBUH has said "The love for this Surah will admit you into Jannah." (Tirmidhi).
Surah Khafiroon: Equivalent to reciting a quarter of the Quran. Protects from shirk.
Surahs Falaq and Naas: Protection from all kinds of worldly evil such as envy, black magic & jinns.
