Education
The holiest places in the world are the Haram Mosque in Makkah, the Prophet’s Mosque and Al-Aqsa Mosque and then comes the rest of the mosques. This sacredness, whichwas defined by the divine law, remains constant in the hearts of Muslims and each one of them tries to express that reverence in the best possible manner. Is there anything more noble than painting the three holy mosques with love and spirituality? I know the difference between presenting our impression of these holy places with lines, colors, lights and shadows with an artistic vision and being present at the two holy mosques, walking through its courtyards and praying there. This exhibition gave me an opportunity to realize that and meet with a number of talented and intelligent artists. We have great hope that Allah the Almighty will enable the Ummah to visit the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the first qibla of Muslims and the third holy mosque. Colors and lines here express our strong feelings and veneration toward these holy places and the spirit speaks with silent words. May Allah bless the man who gave me this opportunity.
