Masjid Al Aqsa - Framed Canvas

Description: Watercolour painting depicting Masjid Al Aqsa in Jerusalem. Part of a series featuring the Kaaba and Al Masjid an Nabawi.

The Story: Masjid Al-Aqsa is important in Islam because Prophet Muhammad PBUH was transported from the Scared Mosque in Mecca to Al-Aqsa during the Night Journey, and then on to heaven. Our Beloved Prophet led prayers towards this site until Allah directed him to turn towards the Kaaba.

It’s the only mosque, besides the Holy Kaaba, that is mentioned in the Qur’an ‘Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All- Seeing’. (Qur’an, 17:1)

The Product: Our framed canvas is a 38mm stretched canvas within a traditional picture frame. The simple addition of a wooden picture frame creates a completely new form of wall art, quite distinct to a standard canvas. The thin frame sits approximately 5mm from the edge of the canvas helping create a floating border. Highly recommended for photography and images that make a real statement.
