My name is Nadia Janjua. I am a living, thinking, feeling human being. I am an artist.

One day after prayer, while I was making supplication, I became distracted by my hands, and how multi-colored they were; these were the hands that Allah had given me: dark under the nails, brown on the outside, white on the inside, and a blended line of distinction down the profile of my hand.

I thought of a line from a book I had recently read, written by Seyyed Hossein Nasr,

............."The world is both beyond us and within us."

...........................

The diversity of the world exists within all of us.

The ability and potential to embrace this diversity also exists within all of us.

And what we can do with our hands to contribute to the nourishment of this diversity is boundless, with Allah's will.

"And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is full of kindness to his devotees." (Surah Al Baqarah; Ayah 207)
