By Muhammad. Book art refers to the concept of making art literally out of a book or in other words, book as art. I came up with the concept of using book art to create Arabic calligraphy. The particular theme that I am using here is using the Asmāʾ Allāh al-Ḥusnā or the Beautiful Names.

Dr Mehzabeen b. Ibrahim joined MuslimMatters as a blogger in late 2007 under the handle 'iMuslim', whilst still a struggling grad student. Since then, she has attained a PhD in Molecular Biology and a subsequent Masters in Bioinformatics, and now works as a specialist in this field for a well-known British, medical charity, masha'Allah. Somewhere in between she found the time to get married, alhamdulillah. She likes to dabble in photo and videography, a sample of which can be found on her personal blog: iMuslim.tv.

I’m not comfortable with the idea of cutting up a book. Respect for books is too deeply ingrained in me.
I like the photo of the wild grasses and flowers. The cup is nice too, but the presentation and shading are a little confusing.
Everyone, keep creating. Ma-sha-Allah.
