For centuries, the essence of the Holy Kaaba has been captured on canvas by hundreds of artists. This magnificent landmark located near the centre of the Great Mosque in Mecca has been built around a sacred black stone and is not only considered a symbol of God's promise to Abraham and Ishmael and the Muslim descendants (by extension), but it also serves as great spiritual inspiration for artists such as Shabina Suhail – an Islamic artist from London.

In fact, one of the first things that strike you when you browse through her website - titled Shabina Gallery, is a deep spiritual presence, which is perfectly captured and well reflected in almost every single one of her paintings.

This female artist who initially pursued a different career has been showing real artistic talent from a very young age, but it was only as recent as February 2020 after she received ijazah, which means permission, from Shaykh Mehmet Adil, that she took up the paintbrush again, and ever since she has produced hundreds of beautiful and deeply moving pieces of artwork.

Her work is highly sought after, even in countries such as the USA and Australia, which is why Shabina Gallery offers free worldwide shipping on all rolled fine art prints, and free shipping in the UK, USA and Australia and parts of Europe, on all frames and canvases over £75.

Shabina Gallery is located in Leicester, UK and although visitors are always welcome, most of her artwork is displayed online, where art lovers can shop by catalogue and under different categories, and choose between a myriad of Mosque paintings, fine arts prints, Islamic calligraphy paintings, as well as Islamic home decor.

“Those who understand the deep spiritual meaning behind my work, and those who appreciate the significant role that holy places play in the lives of millions of Muslims across the world, are usually the ones who will buy a Kaaba canvas. Many Muslims are currently unable to travel to Mecca for the annual gathering, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but now they too can find solace and resignation and decorate their homes with beautiful Kaaba paintings. I offer Islamic art for the soul, and there are many different pieces of artwork to choose from,“ Shabina said in conclusion.

Her website is a pure reflection of her religion and includes various forms of Islamic art, including covers and casing for smart devices and cellphones that for example, depicts the image of the historical figure - Ertuğrul Ghazi. Visit her website and discover the beauty of Islamic art for yourself and be sure to follow Shabina Gallery also on social media for her most recent work and updates.
