Tabbatyada


This painting centres on Uma Jamil's right eye, which reflects her jealousy and animosity towards Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who was conveying the words of Allah to the people of Makkah. Her husband, Abu Lahab, is none other than the Prophet’s own uncle. Their actions are viewed as profoundly negative and unjust, and Allah Almighty condemns such individuals without hesitation. This serves as a cautionary reminder of the severe consequences that come from opposing a divine and righteous calling.


Arabic calligraphy: تبت يدا أبي لهب وتب

The Well


This painting depicts the moment Nabi Yusof (Prophet Joseph) was cast into a deep well by his own jealous brothers. Despite this betrayal, the prophet's unwavering will and trust in Allah enabled him to endure numerous tribulations. The narrative shows how events that seem tragic can lead to greater good and fulfil Allah’s divine plan. Nabi Yusuf’s rise to power and ability to assist his family remind us that hardships may serve a higher purpose. This reassures us that challenging experiences can yield positive outcomes if only we maintain our trust in Allah.


Arabic calligraphy: تَوَكَّلتُ عَلَى اللَّه
