The verse from Surah At-Tawbah reminds believers of the ultimate truth of divine decree (Qadr) — that nothing happens in life, whether joy or hardship, except by the will and wisdom of Allah. It calls the heart toward complete trust and surrender, knowing that Allah is both the protector and controller of all affairs.
In this artwork, the ship sailing through turbulent seas symbolizes the human journey — uncertain, tested, and often caught in storms beyond control. The lightning and dark clouds reflect life’s trials and fears, while the ship anchored in perseverance represents the believer’s faith that remains steady through hardship. Despite the chaos around, there is peace in knowing that one’s fate rests not in the storm, but in the decree of Allah.
The swirling waves are painted in deep shades of blue and grey, evoking both the intensity of struggle and the depth of faith. The Qur’anic verse encircles the scene like a divine safeguard, reminding us that protection lies not in avoidance of trials, but in reliance upon Allah through them.
This piece captures the very soul of the Peace in Pieces collection — finding calm within chaos, and peace within surrender. It is an artistic reflection of Tawakkul, a visual reminder that even when life feels adrift, the believer is never truly lost, for Allah’s decree is the compass guiding every wave.
