About The Artwork
Hijrah is the migration of the Prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina (then Yathrib). Fleeing from persecution in his hometown, Mecca, the Prophet Muhammed was hotly pursued by a band of men seeking to assassinate him. On the journey, the Prophet Muhammed and his companion Abu Bakr hid in a cave and while inside, a spider spun a web over the entrance, effectively saving their lives by throwing off the pursuers. This passage is portrayed with the opening verses of Surah Yasin – which the prophet recited while being pursued – written as a circular web-like structure. “Ya Sin. By the wise Quran, indeed you are among the messengers, one a straight path.” (Quran, 36: 1-4) An accomplished tracker, Saraqa ibn Malik, was another pursuer, but upon reaching the fugitives, his horse repeatedly sank into the ground. After requesting Muhammed’s prayers to help him out of his plight, he returned to Mecca and advised others not to attempt their own mission of capturing Muahmmed. Upon reaching their final destination, the Prophet Muhammed and Abu Bakr were greeted warmly. This accomplishment and the new era it hailed is depicted with medina under a sky filled with flowers and birds representing happiness, peace, and a welcoming aura.

Australia
My interest in art began in my teenage years when I started creating pieces of art doing pen and ink work. Mostly interested in creating landscapes and capturing and preserving the beauty of our world in my work at the time. Throughout my journey around the world, I have experienced and worked with artists of different skills, mindsets, and point of views which have given me a very diverse viewpoint and opinions which I then try to depict in my artwork. I was born in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and began my visual art learning from Rawalpindi Arts Council. I came to Australia in late 2006. Being a self-taught artist, I have been working on papercutting since 2008. Throughout the year I have been exhibiting my work in many well-known galleries around the world. I have received awards and recognitions throughout the years. To rejuvenate the ancient tradition of paper cutting, I add elements from Arabic traditions to my own style. My style of papercutting is very unique and different from the traditional cuttings. One must see my original artwork, in order to understand what I create. I am a full-time artist and works from my own studio in Kwinana, WA.
