Education
When I was requested to make paintings of the most sacred mosques — the HaramMosque, the Prophet’s Mosque and Al-Aqsa Mosque - I did not agree in the beginning. The reason was that I did not know what to do, whether I should start painting or make a copy of the existing sacred structures? Before making the paintings I have read a lot about these mosques, contacted a number of religious scholars and watched the film “The Message” to get an idea. When I started painting these mosques I got a feeling that someone was providing me the necessary guidance. I believe that I was able to complete this work with the help of Allah.
