The Inspiration
It Began After My Umrah
Saleha ContractorArtist
Walking through the places where the Seerah happened changed how I read it. I came home and spent the next eight months studying and painting.
This collection follows four turning points in the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: the Hijrah, the Battle of Badr, the Battle of Uhud and the Conquest of Makkah.
Each painting began with lectures, maps and pages of notes before any paint touched the canvas. I pray they help us remember the lessons of these moments and keep the stories alive in our homes.
