True Content of Modeling

I despise female modeling. Its near to prostitution for it commoditizes female body, and all commodities are salable. Hence if money can be a price for the evocative splendor of female body it is prostitution in Islam, argues Hamza Yusuf.

I love these expressions of my nephew; I've absolutely no idea from where did he borrow these exotic visual details and modeling.

A cute little gift for my sweet Mother

This weekend when I went home to meet my family, and three little angel-cousins, I gifted my mother this most untidy, but heart-filled oil pastel painting I made (half of it) during English essay writing class :) There's so much connection between beautiful painting and profound writing....

Islamic Art

I commented on a post, "Islamic Art", presumably by a non-Muslim foreginer, about the topic- I'm sharing it as I don't know how accurate my description may be:

Love for abstraction, love of unity of God, deep contemplation, purity of soul, recitation of Quran, fear of God and day of judgement, craft, imagination, creativity, infinity = Islamic art :)
