The Story
This painting walks us through the emotional journey of someone facing terminal illness, drawing on powerful prophetic stories and duas to provide guidance, hope, and comfort.
On the left, textured outlines of the mountains of Safa and Marwa symbolize the story of Hajar AS and her unwavering trust in Allah. Despite the uncertainty, she proclaimed, “Allah will not abandon us.” Her story teaches us to rely on Allah and have tawakkul.
Above the mountains, a moon pierced by an arrow-shaped letter represents the statement by Imam Shafi: “The dua made at tahajjud is like an arrow which does not miss its target.” This imagery highlights the power of heartfelt supplication during the sacred hours of the night, encouraging us to place our deepest fears and hopes in Allah’s hands.
The main feature on this side is the falling leaves, symbolizing a Hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad PBUH described how the discomfort of illness purifies the soul, expiating sins as leaves fall from a tree. This reminds us that illness is, in fact, a blessing—an opportunity to draw closer to Allah.
The central theme of the painting is the name of Allah, As-Salam (The Giver of Peace), painted across the artwork to remind us that true peace comes through acceptance of Allah’s qadr. Inscribed within the mountains and the sea are powerful duas from Ibrahim AS and Yunus AS, alongside the reassuring words of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH to Abu Bakr while they were hiding in the cave: “Do not worry, Allah is with us.”
On the right side, the painting shifts focus to inspire hope and excitement for the Hereafter. A pixelated pearl, surrounded by the gardens and rivers of Jannah, symbolizes the wonders Allah has prepared for the believers—beauties beyond human comprehension. The curtain being pulled aside represents the unveiling of this eternal life, accompanied by the divine promise: “Enter Paradise; you shall have no fear nor any grief.”
This artwork reminds us to trust Allah’s plan, embrace life’s trials as pathways to purification, and find peace in the promise of Jannah—our eternal home.
These are statement-size artwork, designed to become focal points in your space—inviting reflection and conversation, inshaAllah.
