Concept:

 Yasin - The Hour of Gold, is inspired by the time of Maghrib. Those fleeting moments before dusk, when the sky turns a beautiful Gold intertwined with the brightest of colors. Its a momentary glimpse of Heaven. The moment when a person's hustle finally halts and they get to sit down and take in that glorious view. The moment before one opens their fast or touches their forehead to the ground in remembrance, or when they simply get to enjoy the calm of that moment with that glorious view. That is what the Golden hour is all about.

These beautiful verses have been taken from Surah Yasin:

 "Yasin - By the Quran rich in wisdom. You, Prophet are truly one of the messengers upon the straight path". Yasin Sharif (1-4)

This art work painting serves as a gentle reminder to constantly strive to find the right path.
