In his artwork 'The Blossom,' M. Malekulashtar Abbasi masterfully captures the intricacies of Fatemi architectural design, adorning the sacred mausoleum of al-Maula al-Ajal Syedi Abdulqadir Ḥakimuddin QR.
The painting depicts a niche carved with exquisite beauty, featuring a flower vase that symbolizes the opening verse of al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Ṭaher Saifuddin’s RA qasida mubaraka written in honour of Maulaya Hakimuddin QR. The petals of the flowers in the vase are intricately inscribed with various virtues of al-Maula al-Ajal QR, written in the stylized calligraphy script of al Thuluth. The illustration reflects the idea that the virtues of al-Maula al-Ajal QR are like fragrant blooms that continue to spread their scent in every mumin who comes to pay their respects at the Qubba Mubaraka.
The painting also serves as a testament to the lasting legacy of al-Maula al-Ajal QR, carried forth by his heir Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS, himself an illustrious descendant of the revered personality.
