There is a meaning beyond the three art paintings: Al-Aqsa Mosque: The great lslamic history can’t forget Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the history of prophet is related to it. Al-Aqsa Mosque still has an important position in the lslamic cultural history. So, it inspired me to paint the Al-Aqsa Mosque on this painting. Apart from appreciating its holiness, the painting attempts to deepen the knowledge about Al-Aqsa Mosque. Only few people know about the shape of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and I believe that this painting would give added value to the long history of this mosque. The Prophet’s Mosque: This is one of the mosques that has great attraction to the Muslim Ummah. It’s also known as Madinah Mosque. It is called the Prophet’s Mosque because it accommodates the grave of the Prophet Mohammad, the leader who brought international fame to the new Islamic civilization. The Prophet’s Mosque is an important symbol of the history of the Prophet and lslam. The artist has tried to project its greatness and sacredness through this portrait, hoping that it would give an insight into its great history. The Holy Mosque in Makkah: It is the qibla or direction toward which Muslims all over the world turn in prayer; its existence gives blessing to all its visitors. There are many ways to visit it. Without doubt, its greatness is fantastic. Imagine the greatness of the creator, the one and only God. There is nothing strange if God’s existence had inspired the artist to move his brush to portray His greatness by making this painting in order to invite all to enjoy the permanent touch of that greatness, which has become one of the world’s miracles.
