My first project after moving to the Bay Area in 2017, this was completed in early 2018 at the Fiji Jamaat ul Islam in South San Francisco. This was my first time working on a large-scale project directly on the walls at a mosque, and it was thanks to this project that more mosque project opportunities opened up for me in the Bay Area.

text Translation

"The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except Allah, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided." (Quran, 9:18)

إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسَىٰ أُولَٰئِكَ أَن يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ - 9:18
