This is the magnificent [A2] Arabic Artwork Print of the Hilye of Lady Fatima, radi Allahu ta'ala anha, (The Rose of Madina).

Hilye : A Word-Portrait :

Originating as a visual form in Ottoman religious art, the Hilye has emerged as a sacred literary and art genre for Muslims across the world. Intricate illumination (tehzib), awe-invoking details, and majestic calligraphic scripts laid by master craftspeople distinguish Hilye paintings from other mediums that deal with the physical description of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Beginning with the earliest believers, generations of scholars have penned word-portraits of the Beloved Prophet, detailing his physical, moral, and spiritual perfections.


No man in history has been described in as much detail as the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The earliest work to collate over three-hundred first-hand accounts describing the Prophet is the al-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyya by Imam Abu 'Isa al-Tirmidhi, radi Allahu ta'ala anhu, in the 3rd century AH (816 CE – 913 CE). The most recent addition to this genre is the Shama'il al-Habib al-Mustafa by Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi, released in 2017.

The Purpose of The Hilye :

How does one describe the indescribable? How does one form an image of that which cannot be portrayed? That is what the Hilye does; it gives parameters to the imagination, allowing one to begin to think about the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a spiritual insight (without visualising or portraying him in a painting). This is perhaps why the masters of
Islamic calligraphy state that by looking at the Hilye, it is as if one is gazing at the final Messenger.

The Hilye has adorned houses, mosques, and places of significance for centuries, serving as a powerful reminder of the Muhammadan presence, a source of mercy, and a timeless reminders of the Prophet’s, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, beauty.
