Hey everyone, 
May all of you have a Blessed Eid Day, and may all your fasting, prayers and good actions be accepted!
If your Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Humanist, Atheist or anyone else. I hope you have a pleasant day. A joyous occasion should be shared by all!
May we all attain happiness and guidance in this life and the success in the next!
What is 'Eid?
In the effort of bridging gaps of misunderstanding, please accept this explanation from me as a gesture to create better understanding. I hope you benefit from this little anecdote!
There are two Eid or large celebrations that happen throughout the Muslim lunar calander, 'Eid ul Fitr and 'Eid ul Adha. 'Eid ul Fitr is the celebration that happens on the 1st day after the month of fasting, Ramadan, is completed. 'Eid is said to be a gift or present from God that is for those who fasted, people aren't allowed to fast this day and the community is assembled for the Eid prayer. Ramadan was the month that the Quran was sent down, and also we have a tradition that all the original books sent with prophets were sent down in this month as well throughout history.
Everyone is encouraged to buy a fresh set of clothing and donate a measure of grain, or in this day and age money that can be used for the feeding of the poor so that they too can have an Eid feast. It is said that that amount purifies your fasting from all the minor mistakes that took place throughout the month.
The celebration is for not only hopefully completing the month of fasting successfully, but also rejoicing in the hopes of God's mercy for those how strived. His mercy is shown by way of the forgiving of sins and mistakes, and granting of many bounties both in this life and the next.
After the Eid prayer everyone gets up and goes around and hugs one another or shakes hands and says Eid Mubarak or Blessed Eid (to you)! This strengthens the community bond and encourages social behaviour. Of course men and women are separate so no mischief can happen and the dignity of people is preserved from rumour mongers.
After this point we go to our homes and get ready either to host or visit our friends and relatives. We also pay our Zakat (2.5% obligatory charity on our wealth that exceeds our mean and has been in our possession for a year) near the end of the month of Ramadan as it is charged with blessings and encouraged to do so.
We are told that if you have missed a fast, you have till next Ramadan to make it up, also if you want to get the reward of fasting for an entire year, merely fast another 6 days within this month (of course after you make up your missed fasts). These 6 extra optional fasts don't even have to be in a row either, simply any time during this month after Ramadan.
Below are some Eid designs I have made over the years while I have been on DA!!!
A larger collection of all my Eid cards can be found in my gallery.
Take care all!!!
More art coming soon!
Asalaamu alaikum = Peace be upon you!

Beauty Is A Universal Language
"Beauty is a universal language and Islamic geometry is based on the notion of beauty. It’s filled with various shapes and patterns. The primary function of these patterns is to lead the mind from the mundane world and help the believer to reflect on life and the greatness of creation". I was invited onto the roof of Jealous Studio to paint a mural against the Shoreditch skyline, using the inspiration of Islamic geometry. In partnership with Jealous Studio, I will be releasing the following print inspired by my mural: Medium: Somerset satin white 410gsm paper Edges: Deckled Year: 2020 Edition: 75 Size: 53.30cm (w) x 53.30cm (h) You can order 'Beauty is a Universal Language' at a special preorder price for a limited time.

Creativity in Isolation
In these strange times, I pray that you and your family are safe. The cultural and creative sectors are among the most affected by the current crisis. As an artist, I believe I have a social responsibility to bring people together. Even when art centers are closed, the demand for art is stronger than ever. Since the pandemic hit, visits to online galleries have skyrocketed, with people seemingly seeking solace in art and creativity. There’s been this hunger since we’ve all been locked down. Parents and their children are also making artwork full of positivity and hope. Art gives us access to a world that’s bigger than us – That sense of hope is so important. The arts are a positive force for our community, especially in turbulent times. With a possible vaccine on the horizon, I look forward to working with you all in this new era of shared adversity and hope. Peace and blessings! ----------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my mailing
Anybody Out there?
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is well. I haven't been on DeviantArt for almost a year. I have been creating artwork but I uploading it to different social media website. I am trying to reach a larger market. On that note, come and hook up with me on there - Follow me on Instagram. If I can find you then I will add you too! I also updated my website - I wasn't happy with the other one as it was looking a bit old. Come in and take a tour, there is plenty to see. Check it out: www.teakster.co.uk I guess most of the people that I knew on this website have grown up and moved on to other things. I guess that is life. However, if you are part of the old guard and you are still here then give me a shout! Peace and blessings! ----------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my mailing list Follow me on Facebook Follow me on Twitter Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Flickr Join me on Pinterest Join me on Behance Network Collaboration Artwork: Work with me
A Moment to Reflect on 2020
Welcome to the new normal This year, every one of us experienced a portion of difficulty and struggle. The current crisis greatly affected those working in the cultural and creative sectors. In these dark times, we need to look for the light to seek a place of inner gratitude and awareness of our countless blessings. As we all come to terms with the new normal, we MUST learn and grow. As we begin to look towards 2021 and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead, it is important that we recognise the significance of this year and the impact it has had on our lives, both personally and professionally. Even though this year was tough for me, I wanted to express sincere thanks to my supporters who helped me through this dire year. Even though this was a negative year, I wish you all a beautiful end to the year. In this new era of shared adversity and hope, I look forward to a fresh 2021! ----------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my mailing list Follow me
