ALL PROFITS GO TO SYRIA & EGYPT (through ICNA Relief Canada)
This painting is inspired by the violence & oppression
that exist in many Muslim countries today, such as: Egypt, Syria, Palestine,
Afghanistan, Pakistan & more. I have chosen certain colours that symbolize
the situation in these countries. In
this piece of art, Black represents
the chaos & oppression. Red represents
the bloodshed & violence. Green &
White represent peace & ease. Gold represents the high rank of all the
martyrs & innocent people who have sacrificed their lives by standing up
for Justice & Truth. These colours
can also be found in the flags of these countries. The ayah I have chosen is from Surah In-Shirah: 5-6. Tying back this
ayah to the colours, expresses that although there has been oppression,
violence, bloodshed, one should not give up their hope in the Mercy of Allah.
Indeed with every difficulty faced by our brothers & sisters in these
countries, they will see & feel peace. This ayah is a reminder that there are
rays of hope so let not this hope be blocked with the drops of blood & evil
that is happening. Indeed Allah is the All-Knowing and victory for Muslims is prophesied.
