rahma
assalamu alaikum wr wb,

It's been awhile since I've posted a muslim related thread. I've mainly been listening to Hamza Yusuf lectures on CD, and as such, don't have any interesting articles to post.


Howeva, I always have islamic art websites handy. God is beautiful and loves beauty...

Kelly Izdihar - she'll be at ISNA this year. I still haven't gone yet *pouts* Oh well, there's always next year

I want one of her boxes

Fo Sho....I'll check it ... Flickr has alot of nice pics... Do you remember back in June when a guy from UK posted various pics of Muslim women in hijeb on Flickr in a collection... made some scandalous waves....LoL ...Astagfurullah

rahma
Not "art" in the normal sense of the world, but definately beautiful - Athan and Sufi Dhikr

Just as a disclaimer - the Adhan is 5 minutes long, and there is a small hum of music below it, from an orchestra. After that, it's a brief musical interlude, and then the dhikr. If you find any of that objectionable, then don't listen rose.gif

Sister Izzy Mo posted fantastic pictures from the recent ISNA convention on Flickr


From her pictures, I've found a few more artists kicking.gif

Wareh Art - I really like her oil paintings where she mixes calligraphy with nature

Irfan Calligraphy - I think I may have mentioned them before, but Sr. Izzy has some picts of their work, and they look absolutely beautiful in a very traditional manner. You can also buy their work at Zaids.

Uzma Mirza

Her interpretations of the 99 names of Allah (swt), in the Divine Attributes gallaries are mind blowing. Check out al Fatiha and my favorite, Iqra. Definately the most unique art I have come across to date.
