Ayah #1: “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our spouses & our offspring the coolness of our eyes & make us leaders of the righteous.” Surah Al- Furqan 25:74
Ayah #2: "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small." Surah Al Isra 17:24
The Story
The "eyes becoming cool" is an Arab idiom. This expression equates to finding refuge from a storm. In today's world, the storm can be found inside our homes. In this powerful and beautiful dua, we are asking Allah SWT for our home to become a place of refuge. A place where our worries disappear when we come home to our spouse & children.
The strongest bond is that between a mother and her child. Remember when Musa AS's mother put her baby in the water to save him from Pharaoh? Can you imagine not knowing what's happening to your child? So imagine the feeling when she was reunited with Musa AS. Allah SWT used the same expression to describe the most indescribable feeling: the coolness of the eyes.
This painting was inspired by this indescribable feeling. The floral prints symbolize the pure bond between a mother and her child. The white streaks symbolize the modern-day sand storms that we seek refuge from while the dominant blue represents tranquility and calmness. With this theme in mind, I included a dua for our parents as a reminder to slow down and show patience during their old age and to treasure our time with them as they may not be around for long.
May these powerful duas become part of our daily prayer inshaAllah

Customer Reviews
It is beautiful in my living room and it is also a great reminder for us.
Absolutely happy with my chosen pieces, perfect for my bedroom walls, I was searching for the perfect art pieces for my new home for a long time and knew it couldn’t just be anything. I needed something that held sentimental meaning and when I came across Saleha’s art it wasn’t just the average painting, it was to museum standard, every detail has meaning behind it, it’s not just a painting or words, there’s life beyond it and I have loved explaining why and what each part of the art means when I have visitors.
I ordered 2 pieces both came quickly and are gorgeous!
Would definitely buy again.
Love all the stories that these Islamic pieces portray, would have loved to feel the texture on the stretched canvas as they are not original paintings. Beautiful work! JAK
Beautiful artwork, excellent quality posters, & such lovely customer service
