VERILY GOD IS BEAUTIFUL & HE LOVES BEAUTY - . . . Husain's iconic depiction of the Muslim faith Islam is portrayed in this monumental painting with the prominent incorporation of the holy verses ‘Inalaho Jameelo ya Hubul Jamal’ This work is a landmark in Islamic arts heritage, comprising many cultural motifs - camels, palm trees, Arabic architecture - and filled with religious iconography; Buraq, the female-headed mythological horse known for ascending with the Prophet Mohammed to heaven in ‘Mairaj’, in 7th century, Jerusalem. Mystical verses ‘Kaaf’ and ‘Swaad’ are also depicted and balance the vivid composition. The extraordinaire night journey is depicted in the symbolic colours; blue, grey (most notably the dome of the ‘Mosque at Medina’ and the ‘Star & Crescent’), dark yellow (mustard), green and the shattered, split moon ‘Al-Shaqqul Qamar’. Hint of the Prophet Mohammed is suggested in a preaching pose, on the left side, in his signature black attire, with his finger of ‘Kalema-e-Shadah’ raised. The Judgment Day book of records called ‘Al-Loh-al-Mchfooz’ is depicted on the top right. . . . .
