Description

God is the Light of Heaven and Earth | 1987 CE / 1407 AH

Scriptorial palette:

“God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is, as it were, that of a niche containing a lamp; the lamp is [enclosed] in glass, the glass [shining] like a radiant star: [a lamp] lit from a blessed tree – an olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west – the oil whereof [is so bright that it] would nigh-give light [of itself] even though fire had not touched it: light upon light!
God guides onto His light him that wills [to be guided]; and [to this end] God propounds parables unto men, since God [alone] has full knowledge of all things.”

Inspired by Surah An Nuur (The Light), Chapter 24, Verse 35 of the Holy Qur’ān

Rendered from an original oil and watercolur composition, 1987. Also available as an art greeting card.
