Multiple Forms: A Homage to the Life of the Prophet Muhammad

"Multiple Forms: A Homage to the Life of the Prophet Muhammad" is an artwork that pays tribute to the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad through the poetry of al-Busairi. The Qasidat al-Burda, or "The Poem of the Cloak," is a deeply personal work that was composed by al-Busairi (A.D. 1212-1296) during a time of great suffering and hardship. Despite his physical challenges, the Sufi master found solace and comfort in the repetition of these poems, which express a deep and unyielding love for the Prophet.

Ali Omar Ermes, one of the foremost painters of our time, has created a stunning piece that captures the essence of this devotion through the use of intricate and expressive forms. Measuring 152cm x 122cm and crafted from acrylic on paper mounted on canvas, "Multiple Forms: A Homage to the Life of the Prophet Muhammad" is a beautiful and thought-provoking artwork that invites the viewer to consider the power of love and devotion in the Islamic faith. It currently resides with a private collector, where it continues to inspire and engage the viewer's imagination.

Here are a few more examples of poems that celebrate the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad:

"Oh Prophet, our guide and our light
We follow in your footsteps, with all our might
Your wisdom and your love, shine bright and true
Inspiring us to be better, in all we do"

"Your message of peace, and your call to unity
Inspire us to be better, and to strive for clarity
We follow in your footsteps, with hearts full of love
And we pray to be worthy, of the blessings from above"

"You are our beloved, our guide and our friend
We honor your teachings, until the very end
Your love and your guidance, guide us on our way
And we pray to be worthy, of your love each day"

Tughra: Whispers of Wisdom: An Artistic Tribute to Abul Ala Al Ma’arri

In his artwork titled "Tughra," Ali Omar Ermes incorporates a powerful verse from the philosopher-poet Abul Ala Al Ma’arri. The verse speaks to the idea that when one speaks of the truth, they must do so softly and with caution, as the truth can often be unpopular or unwelcome. In contrast, when one speaks of things that are implausible or untrue, they can do so loudly and without fear of reprisal. This observation is particularly relevant in today's world, where it is often easier to speak out and make bold claims, regardless of their veracity.
