Description
This beautiful and intricately detailed paper-cutting artwork elegantly portrays the Quranic story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah, peace be upon him). The artwork vividly captures the turmoil and intensity of the scene through swirling, circular ocean waves symbolizing the trials and tribulations experienced by Prophet Yunus.
On one side, a large fish is prominently depicted—representing the whale that, by Allah’s command, swallowed Prophet Yunus. On the opposite side, a boat struggles amidst powerful waves, emphasizing the drama and urgency of the event.
A striking feature of this piece is the depiction of Prophet Yunus’s heartfelt prayer emerging from the mouth of the fish, beautifully illustrating his plea for forgiveness:
“La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz zalimeen”
(“There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.”)
At the bottom, large leaves are carefully illustrated, symbolizing the shelter and shade that Allah provided Prophet Yunus after the fish released him by Allah’s command onto the shore.
This artwork powerfully communicates themes of faith, repentance, and the boundless mercy of Allah, inviting viewers to reflection and spiritual contemplation.
Framing
Framing is currently offered within Perth, Australia only. Because paper-cutting artworks are delicate and dimensional, framing is a little different to standard prints. I recommend a “floating” presentation, sandwiched between two pieces of glass so the artwork stays protected and visible from both sides.
If you’re in Perth, I can arrange framing and deliver to you. If you’re outside Perth, please message me with your location and I’ll share the best options and next steps.
