Nad e Ali and Panjtan Pak Painting

The history behind the concept of my painting Nad e ali: The story begins that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) laid siege to the fort of Khaybar near Medina but the walls were so well-fortified that the army could not break through. The angel Gabriel came to the Prophet Muhammad and told him to recite the naad-e Ali: ”Call Ali who is a manifestation of the wonders, Thou shall surely find him a helper in your difficulties, All grief and sorrow shall be eliminated. By Thy tremendousness O! Lord, By Thy Apostleship O! Muhammad, By Thy granted power of wali, O! Ali, O Ali, O! Ali! O! Ali” Original artwork on canvas.
