Inspiration Behind the Tree of Prophets Project
During the covid-19 pandemic, I found myself confined to my home, which made that period quite challenging. To make the most of my time, I began listening to video lectures and audio about the lives of the Prophets. However, I encountered some difficulties due to my dyslexia, which affected my ability to thoroughly understand and retain the information from these sources alone
As a visual learner, I often felt frustrated by the lack of clear and comprehensive visual resources online, especially concerning the lineage of the Prophets and their connections to one another.
Despite facing various obstacles, I was determined to deepen my knowledge and understanding. I researched and listened to reliable and trustworthy Islamic lectures available online that outlined the lives, qualities, and significant events associated with each Prophet.
To help me better process and remember the information, I organised my notes in a structured, point-by-point format, highlighting the key events in each Prophet’s life. Additionally, I created an illustrated chart that visually presents the lineage of the Prophets and demonstrates how they are interconnected throughout history.
This project took over two years to complete. With the help and permission of Allahﷻ, the artwork is now displayed in various locations, including homes, mosques, community centres, offices, schools, and colleges. It serves as a meaningful and lasting reminder of the Prophets and their message, providing an excellent reference to return to time and again. Alhamdulillah!
