Palestine will be free.

This piece, Palestine Will Be Free, is a cry from the heart, a prayer, and a testimony of faith all at once. At its centre flows the sacred words of the Bismillah — Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem — the opening of every chapter, the beginning of every action, and the reminder that all strength, patience, and justice come only through Allah. Written boldly across the middle, the Bismillah becomes more than calligraphy here; it becomes a declaration that every step taken on this land, every tear shed, and every act of resistance begins in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Surrounding the words are splashes of red, raw and unfiltered, reflecting sacrifice, pain, and the price that has been paid for generations. Yet within the chaos, the colours of the Palestinian flag rise with dignity, grounding the piece in identity, belonging, and an unbreakable connection to the land. The brushstrokes do not sit quietly — they move, they bleed, they speak — just like a people who refuse to be erased.

The faint outline of the land and the words “Palestine will be free, Insha’Allah” stand as both a promise and a prayer. A promise that oppression does not last forever, and a prayer that justice will return to the soil that has carried the footsteps of prophets. In the presence of the Bismillah, the message becomes clear: they remain on their land not out of pride alone, but out of faith. In the name of Allah, they stand firm. In His name, they endure. In His name, they resist those who try to take what was entrusted to them.

This artwork is not only about struggle — it is about sabr, tawakkul, and unshaken belief. A reminder that when something begins with the name of Allah, it carries a strength that no oppression can silence, and a hope that no darkness can extinguish.
