Title: The Journey Inspiration: The Persian arabesques and patterns on this painting were inspired from one of the domes of the shrine and mosque of Shaykh Abdul Qaadir Geylani (RA) in Baghdad. The traditional blue background symbolises the Infinite and Mercy of the Creator. It is also a visual analogy to the ocean, and flood, upon which the Prophet Noah (PBUH) embarked on. This supplication is part of what He called out, and the meaning of it is: “In the Name of Allah shall be its course and its mooring” We are all absorbed in the “journey” that we call life. Our Prophet (PBUH) likened the time we spend in this world to the journey of a rider, who has stopped under a tree to take rest, and then gets up to leave. Deeper analysis of this verse leads to realising that only through Allah’s guidance, can one be safe and rescued from the evils of the lower forces (nafs).

Salam folks! My name is Shazia and I'm the face behind Rashida Art. I paint Contemporary Islamic Art for the Modern Muslim home. My goal is to ignite a deeper awareness of our history, heritage and traditions. Each piece I paint is inspired by verses from the Quran or Ahadith. Rashida Art began after a period of using art as a form of therapy. Following the bereavement of my younger sister, I struggled to make sense of all my emotions. There was a storm within me which threatened to destroy my faith. Alhamdulillah, one day I picked up my qalam, and paintbrush, and immersed myself into the world of Islamic Art. I haven't looked back since. This led me to dig deeper, devouring all I could in terms of teaching myself the fundamentals behind creating a piece of art. I found that I could express myself visually, more than I ever could verbally. The arab name Rashida means wise or guided, and this is the feeling that I wished to portray in each painting of mine. An ancient wisdom, and guidance from our creator Allah, form the inspiration to create art which can beautify homes, yet also add a sense of value, a deeper meaning, and instils love for the Divine.
