The paintings in this series are inspired by verses from the Quran and Hadith. The Quran is a book of guidance for all of humanity. Allah has promised that He will preserve it in its original form until the Day of Judgment. Hadith is accounts of things said or done by Nabi Muhammad.

When reading Surah Al-Hadid verse 25, for example, I was very impressed by the information that iron is something that was sent down from above, not from the earth. In fact, I used this verse as the theme for my first solo exhibition of paintings, “The Sent Down Iron”.
