Calligraphic Tribute to Hazrat Fatima Zahra

























Dr.Mazhar Naqvi

The blogger had posted about Gauri Yousuf Hussain who had dedicated his life to propagation of Mission Karbala and Sufism through calligraphy. He had earned lot of praise for displaying his work at the International Sufi Conference held at Makanpur Sharif in Kanpur district of India in the first week of February, 2018.Since then, the blogger is in constant touch with him. He happened to speak to him on February 20,2018.During conversation, the blogger reminded him of the martyrdom of Hazrat Fatima Zahra and asked Hussain as to whether he has paid tributes to ‘Lady of Paradise’ through his work or not? He replied apologetically ‘Not yet’. He said “her pious name has figured as a part of Panjatan-E-Pak but there is no exclusive work on her.”Then, he assured to produce an exclusive work on her within an hour, leaving the blogger wondering as to what exactly he intended to do?

After two hours, he mailed me name of Hazrat Fatima beautifully written in calligraphy. Upon inquiry, he revealed that he prepared the portrait containing the blessed name of Bibi after receiving my call. He also said” please treat it as my tribute to Bibi Fatima, the daughter of our beloved Prophet”.The artist also informed the blogger that the blessed name of Bibi was on a covering that was placed on her holy grave by the Ottomon empire much before the demolition of her tomb by Saudi regime in 1925.The part of the covering is now preserved in a museum in Turkey. The blogger has posted the above work of Guari Yousuf Hussain for viewers. Please pray for Hussain that he may be blessed with the choicest blessing of Allah and his Masoomeen.
