Mars. ©Ian Garrett 2023. Acrylic on Canvas 9 x 12 inches.

Mars has long captivated my imagination - Our sister planet of red rock, its barren surface belies what scientists believe to have been a once-thriving world of water and atmosphere, prompting contemplation as to whether or not life once existed here - as Allah states in the Quran that he is the "Rabbi al Ameen," Lord of the WORLDS and all that is.

Surat A-Anbiyyal: "It is he who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon: all the celestial bodies swim along, each in its own rounded course." [21:33]

Surat Al-Nahl: “And he has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by his commandment; most surely there are signs in this for a people who ponder.” [16:12]
