Peace Be Upon Him

This is a culturally respectful image of the Prophet Muhammad, his face obscured by radiance. The Arabic is from the hadith (sayings of and stories about the Prophet), and roughly translated it states that since all things are dependent on God, the most beloved of God is the one who does the most for God's dependents.

There was no conscious decision to finish and publish this work on September 11th, but the timing highlights that an understanding of the Prophet is lacking not only in the West but also in many parts of Muslim world, where his message is used to justify acts of violence, oppression, and hatred.
