JFRA 4 Jame al Aqmar
₹4,500.00 – ₹9,000.00
The construction of al-Jami al-Aqmar is a potent example of the symbolism imbibed within Fatimi architecture. Historians of Fatimi architecture have discussed Maulana al-Imam al-Aamir’s SA reasons for constructing this masjid, yet a holistic understanding of these reasons requires insightful reference to Fatimi philosophy. A core belief of the Fatimi faith is that an Imam, son succeeding father, direct descendent of the Prophet Mohammed SAW, is ever-present on earth. However, the Imam may choose seclusion, which is often compared to nightfall in Fatimi literature and lore. The Imam being the sun, his radiance and guidance reaches his followers during his seclusion through his representative and Da’i–the moon. Imam al-Aamir SA knew that a long seclusion was imminent and that his representatives, the Duat Mutlaqin SA would continue to guide believers during this difficult period. Luminous like the moon, al-Jami al-Aqmar, by virtue of its name and its existence, is testimony to this reality.
A superior feature in later Fatimi architecture is the muqarnas, seen clearly in this picture, adjacent on both sides to central arch over the central doorway. A muqarnas is a squinch, and, as a design element, is usually seen as a cluster of miniature squinches, appearing as a series of small niches and producing a sort of cellular structure. Though present in Baab al-Futuh as well as al-Jami al-Juyushi, their beauty and import is best viewed in al-Jami al-Aqmar. The façade of al-Aqmar displays many such niches but the use of a muqarnas as a cornerstone is a pioneering Fatimi contribution. This cornerstone, referred to as al-Rukn al-Mukhallaq, the perfumed cornerstone or al-Mukhawwaq, the wide cornerstone, widened the edge of the masjid creating much needed extra space for the narrow cross streets.

JFRA 6 Jame al Juyushi
₹6,000.00 – ₹18,000.00
Perched on the Muqattam Mountain that overlooks the city of Cairo, the Jamiʿ masjid, al-Juyushi represents the perpetuity of Fatimi faith and culture. Prior to its restoration by His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin in 1995, it was in dire condition. At the inner apex of al-Juyushi’s main dome lies a verse of the Noble Quran that sheds light on the remarkable preservation of this masjid: ‘It is Allah Who sustains the heavens and the earth, lest they cease; and if they should fail, there is none – not one – who can sustain them thereafter’ (Q 35:41). Syedna Burhanuddin’s restoration of al-Juyushi, and especially of al-Jami al-Anwar before it, inform us that these historic Fatimi masjids are not meant to be shackled in the past, but embraced as dynamic venues for the declaration and reinvigoration of worship, faith and culture.
AL-Jami al-Juyushi is an apt example of how the decorative character of Fatimi architecture uniquely blends humility with spirituality. Its designs, though ornate, exude a quality of simplicity and subdued elegance. Thus, even within Islamic traditions of architecture, the Fatimi style strikes one as particularly modern. The inner apex of the dome also bears an elegant medallion beautifully intertwining the names of the Prophet Mohammed SAW and Maulana Ali SA. Fatimi faith and Fatimi architecture are also intertwined: faith enhances and defines architecture and architecture provides context and expression for faith. As such, Fatimi architecture is steeped in Fatimi faith and philosophy.

Khwāb-o-Khayāl (Of Dreams and Thoughts)
₹4,000.00 – ₹8,000.00
My snowscapes of Kashmir titled
‘Firdaus bar ru-yi Zamīn’ depict the majesty of the snow clad mountains of Gulmarg. Verdant fir trees, dusted with white powder glistening with the different hues of the mountain sky, stand out upon the canvas. Together, with the rising mountain peaks and the seemingly infinite firmament beyond, the vistas truly feel like a paradise on earth. .I re-create semi-abstract impressions of what my eyes witness. I use the term re-create with the firm belief that the beauty inherent to such landscapes is by virtue of their creation at the hands of the Almighty. I am simply re-creating them on a canvas in a humble, yet artistic, manner of emulation. For the main compositions, relying on vivid memories as well as my own photos, I indulge in some artistic liberty with the placement of the flora and the use of colors. .In some of my works, I make use of heavy gels and acrylics to create thick textures on the mountain’s surfaces to signify their solidity, the solidity of existence. These massive monuments, their beauty and breath-taking majesty, are testament that the Almighty has created everything with a purpose: “Our Lord! Thou created not this in vain. Glory be to Thee (Quran 3:191).”
.
The use of Japanese watercolours in composing the fir trees compliments the heavy acrylics by adding an air of lightness. It also, simultaneously, contrasts with the heavy mass of the mountains alluding subtly to the notion of seeking spiritual enlightenment and loftiness while ridding oneself of the burdens of the corporal, material world. It is in this state of unburdened spirituality where happiness is found, nay, happiness reigns.
