My submission to Draw Muhammad Day.

The hand-drawn illustration is a combination of Arabic & English, spelling the name “Muhammad”. The text are quotes from several authentic narrations describing the physical attributes of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him [props to the Chill Yo Islam Yo blog].

Who speaks better than someone who calls people to God, does what is right, and says, “I am of those devoted to God”? Good and evil cannot be equal. [Prophet], repel evil with what is better and your enemy will become as close as an old and valued friend. But only those who are steadfast in patience, only those who are blessed with great righteousness, will attain such goodness.

Qur'an, 41:33-35

    JazakumAllah khair for your kind comments everyone.

    I think it’s clear that the descriptions of the Prophet are what make the piece ‘impressive’; my input was negligible. Sallalahu ‘alayhi wa salam.
