Silk and Brocade - Framed & Mounted Print

Description: Mixed media painting inspired by the following Ayat

"Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow.
They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade,
reclining therein on adorned couches.
Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place" Surah Kahf 18:31

The Story: The Ayat reminds me of Allah Azzawajal's generosity and mercy, it fills me with joy and longing to be with Him.

The delights of Paradise surpass imagination and defy description. They are like nothing known to the people of this world no matter how advanced we may become.

What we achieve is nothing in comparison with the joys of the Hereafter. As is mentioned in several Ahadeeth, there is nothing like Paradise: “It is sparkling light, aromatic plants, a lofty palace, a flowing river, ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and abundant clothing, in an eternal abode of radiant joy, in beautiful, soundly-constructed high houses.” [Ibn Maajah]

The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his companions about the buildings of Paradise and he replied with a wonderful description: “(In it are) Bricks of gold and silver, mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and will never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will never fade.” [Ahmad and others]

Describing Paradise, Almighty Allah Says (what means): {And when you look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion."} [Quran 76:20] What Allah Almighty has kept hidden from us of the delights of Paradise is beyond our ability to comprehend. Almighty Allah Says (what means): {And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes [i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32. 17]
