Sufi Watercolor Painting

Painting By: Ramzan Sultani

This is something I painted in watercolor on a fairly small textured board, inspired by a similar watercolor of Sufi's twirling in a hall. I took one of the Sufi's in that hall and isolated him in my piece.

Inner "Jihad"

"The Pen is Mightier than the Sword."

Inner "Jihad."

Zahra mainly draws in pencil and paper, calligraphy simple yet sends a strong message. I interpret this as inner Jihad starts with an education.
