While on the surface this might seem similar to the account related in the Bible, there are some important distinctions. The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" (day). This word appears several other times in the Qur'an, each denoting a different measurement of time. In one case, the measure of a day is equated with 50,000 years (70:4), whereas another verse states that "a day in the sight of your Lord is like 1,000 years of your reckoning" (22:47). The Qur'anic account of creation is in line with modern scientific thought about the development of the universe and life on earth. Muslims acknowledge that life developed over a long period, but see Allah's power behind it all. Descriptions of creation in the Qur'an are set in context to remind the readers of Allah's majesty and wisdom. "What is the matter with you, that you are not conscious of Allah's majesty, seeing that it is He Who has created you in diverse stages? See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, and made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp? And Allah has produced you from the earth, growing (gradually)" (71:13-17). So, to show the greatness of Allah’s creation in this painting of a beautiful landscape was painted digitally using mixed media between oil paint and oil pastel techniques. Although his greatness in creation of the earth is so mesmerizing like a painting itself, Subhan Allah, which inspired me to paint this beautiful scene on the earth that shows how beautiful the blue sky with clouds and the valley how high it is, while the pure river runs.This artwork was created by Fatima Eissa, a student majoring in the School of Architecture and Design, as part of the AIU Divine Creation competition 2025.Divine Creation Art Competition 2025School of Architecture & DesignSubmission 110Mixed MediaFatima EissaBaroque ArtImage
