My Art, Steps From the Holy Kaaba
Prints of my paintings hang throughout Makarem Ajyad, a 5-star hotel across from Masjid al-Haram, seen by pilgrims from around the world.

A Spiritually Infused Stay
The designers wanted art that tells the stories of Islam, so pilgrims can reflect between their visits to the Haram. Tap a photo to see it larger.
My story
At His Service
The last time I visited the Holy Land, it felt like a dream.
I had saved every bit to make this Umrah trip possible with my parents. As I walked through the hallways, I imagined my art being displayed there. At the time, I had no connections and no gallery representation. From a realistic standpoint, it seemed far-fetched.
But I reminded myself: nothing is impossible for Allah.
It's been over a decade since I began my artistic journey. Along the way, I've come to understand the incredible power of dua and the limitless possibilities when we ask with unwavering certainty. Who are we to doubt the wisdom and capacity of our Creator?
Today, many of the paintings you welcome into your home can be found at this hotel, right across from the Holy Kaaba. Alhamdulillah!
