The Night Journey of Prophet Muhammad SAW (I put an explanation of artistic influences/design choices on this thread here on my twitter!) 

Sunnis r tryna tell me this is haraam, to which I can only say this: Not Every Muslim is A Conservative Sunni. I’m a Shi’a-Sufi Qalanderi and this is allowed in my sect. For more references, please look into art from the Islamic Golden Age, namely from Safavid Persia and Mughal Hindustan; you will find LOTS of depictions of the Prophet SAW, even ones with his face uncovered. Do not expect all Muslims to follow the exact same rules, unless u wanna b Saudi Arabia. Thanks n Salaam…
