"Achmat Soni, well known Islamic artist in South Africa and abroad has just completed his 66th mosque in South Africa. This book, written by his sister Zaitoonisa Soni-Abed, as titled above, documents the amazing journey of this extraordinary and gifted self taught Islamic artist. It was a struggle to establish his form in South Africa. He faced many challenges and rejections. But through the Grace of the Almighty, he has succeeded in bringing Islamic art home to his country and further afield. He is internationally recognised as an Islamic artist and has travelled extensively, exhibiting and learning along the way. Today, Achmat's work is well received and appreciated by all. His works are in mosques, private homes and galleries. The book illustrates some of his incredible artwork, The 99 names of Allah, The Multazam (Kabaah door) and mosques domes, amongst other beautiful pieces done over the years. He has easily done over 1000 paintings in his lifetime, no two are alike. At 68 years old he has not slowed down and continues to amaze with his original artwork."--Back cover.
