Al-Wali / The Patron
Life is like a piece of marble, emotions we feel, people we meet.
Events we go through in our life. The darkness, the light that guides us.
These are inter-twined to create the picture of life. Without friends, the marble would be a darker shade.
With Allah SWA by your side as your best friend, your patron, there is only Light upon Light!
Insha-Allah.
Salaams to all.
The above painting is one of my older pieces. I wrote the above to go with it. The marble background represents our life intertwined with darkness and peace. Al-Wali has been highlighted in gold to emphasize the light you go towards once you remember your creator. This piece is acrylic on paper, size 40×50cm.
I recently had a minor operation and am recovering well Alhamdulillah. Sometimes when adversity hits us, its quite easy to question why we are being tested. Its simply human nature. We have to keep reminding ourselves that any illness or hardship, any type of adversity is a test from the Allmighty. We need to keep our faith and also not beat ourselves up for our questioning. Allah SWA is our Wali, our patron, our best friend and he always provides ease after hardship. You don’t see it at the time, but afterwards you see that something good has also come out of the initial hardship. Allah SWA alone knows whats best for us, we just have to keep faith!
I pray Allah SWA eases everybody’s hardships, whether they are ill, in poverty, lost or in any kind of dark despair. May He guide us all to the light of peace and tranquility. Ameen
Till the next time,
Peace and salaams to all.

Thanks for your motivating comment over at my blog. I’m a fan of your art!
Masha Allah, I like the purple and yellow in the abstract background. And I love what you wrote to go with the piece. It’s so touching. :`) SubhanAllah, He tests those whom He loves. May Allah keep you strong and healthy, inshAllah. I’ll remember you in my dua
