I sometimes see pilgrims (either in Iran or Iraq, cannot remember) wafting the smoke of a burning incense stick over their heads. Is this cultural or is there also a religious background to this? Either way, what is its significance!

Salaams, I keep forgetting to post new artworks. August 2013, charcoal. Dedicated to Sayeda Ma'soomah in Qom.

:( Sad and touching Bless you

I'm not too worried about that but yes, I should put a signature on it... hidden somewhere, maybe. Alhamdulillah, thank you.

Alhamdulillah, thank you. Perhaps... working on that. InshaAllah Alhamdulillah, may it be accepted.

Salaam alaikum, Extending my condolences to the Awaited One (a) and his lovers on the martyrdom of Imam Ali, Ameerul Mumineen (a). I seem to have forgotten to post more artwork since my last post.

Wow, these are incredible. I could say so much about each of the works. They're very expressive. Brother, was there a theme in the gallery? Forgive me, I don't really know how to respond except say alhamdulillah. And may you be blessed with the chance to visit Karbala. I've actually finished Baynol Haramain. Here it is. I pray we all get to walk through it again and again, back and forth, until our legs give up, and we fall, but our eyes will continue to wander between the shrines. Please continue to remember my grandmother in your du'a.

That would be wonderful, thank you. But don't worry if you don't get a chance, brother.

Well I don't live in Pakistan so unfortunately, I will not be able to participate ):

Thank you to all. Continue remembering my grandmother in your prayers. InshaAllah, I will post more work. Sounds incredible. And which university is this, brother? Thank you for the comment, alhamdulillah. I don't write much poetry any more but it's nice that you remember that about me. Thank you for remembering my grandmother in your prayers.

Assalamu alaikum, It's been a while but I've been meaning to share some of my works with all if you for some time now. I think my last real topic was early September-ish but ever since my grandmother passed away (September 10 2012), life has really become different. Please pray that she is in close proximity of the Awaited One inshaAllah. If you enjoy me posting my works on shiachat, please do tell me. It will encourage me and I will, inshaAllah, do it more often. When I was involved in the shiachat community I loved the moments I spent so inshaAllah, the same effect can be recreated. Just let me know and I'll make the effort. You can always check out my work in my gallery. Please do comment below if you're interested in the link (I know I used to have all my contact information up and in my signature but things have really changed after September 10...) I really do hope at least one person remembers me :) and yes, I was on tumblr (for one day!). Thank you for those who recognized me from shiachat and dropped me many beautiful messages in that one day! Done with pen. InshaAllah we all get that chance to walk through Baynol Haramain. Are you all updated with the new developments? I sure hope so! It's incredible. Hope to get rekindled with you all once again inshaAllah!

With a tearful eye, a broken back, and dried lips I am longing for salvation (faraj) Haven't done this in a while...
