Original Islamic Paintings by Award-Winning Artist Mariam Rajput

Book of Miracles I & II

Book of Miracles I & II are twin works paying homage to the sacred art of Islamic illumination—crafted in the tradition of 13th and 14th-century Middle Eastern manuscript artistry. Created using the timeless tools of the old masters—a compass, a ruler, hand-crushed gouache, and generous layers of pure gold leaf and ink—these paintings are a reverent tribute to the divine beauty of Qur’anic text and form.

Each piece features intricate motifs inspired by historical Islamic manuscripts, echoing the pages that have illuminated hearts for centuries. The layout mirrors the revered format found at the beginning of many handwritten Qur’ans:

• The right panel presents the full text of Surah Al-Fatiha — "The Opener", the spiritual preface to the Holy Quran.

• The left panel features the opening verses of Surah Al-Baqarah — "The Cow", the longest and most foundational chapter of the Quran.

Together, they embody a sacred threshold: the transition from recitation to reflection, from divine revelation to human devotion.
