AL-AMIN
... and whence the elephant army approached
The birds stood guard
Giving way to greatness
For there was a light to shine
Like a beacon that envelopes humanity
A strength never before being endowed
He who even the spiders protect
... and the angels bow
He who divides the moon
... and brought forth food when in need
He who uttered sacred words
... embroided with beauty
He who ascends through the 7 layers of heavens
... and blessed with the epitome commandments
He who was in war with 300 companions
... defeated 1,000 nemesis like a blow of a thousand angels
He who perfected our purpose in life
... and when we say, "No other than You"
... we feel compelled to honour him,
".. and you are His messenger"

ASMA'UL HUSNA (SAKURA)
99 NAMES OF GOD (CHERRY BLOSSOM)

SOLD
Previously, without the Arabic scripts of the 99 names of Allah, these 3 panels were known as The Trio) that was created on 12 February 2006 in Chiswick, London (As per the image on the left). About 7 years later, on 6 July 2013, in Shah Alam, I added the 99 names of Allah in white with dashes of pink to mimick cherry blossoms randomly and sporadically floating in the air but some still accumulated at the branches of the tree waiting to be blown away by the wind. This is a metaphoric expression of the Mighty God being every where surrounding us (floating cherry blossoms in the air) but yet His greatness resides in His creations deep in the souls of living things (the branches with accumulated cherry blossoms). Nevertheless, if not appreciated, He will disappear from our hearts (blown away by the wind). With the creation of this work, the earlier work, The Trio, has now become void.
