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, documents the amazing journey of this extraordinary and gifted self-taught Islamic artist.

It was a struggle to establish his form of art 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 community and further afield. He is internationally recognised as an Islamic artist and has travelled extrensively, 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 doen 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.

ART OF THE SOUL

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 | Review by: Jos K.

This book is the absolute supplement to the Exhibition in the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum in Wale Street organised in cooperation with the South African Foundation for Islamic Art (Safia). The exhibition is called 'Islamic Art - An African Interpreation'. The book is made with great love and shows the deep humanity and spirituality in Islamic Art. The designs are like Islamic Mandalas. The great sense of space and the superb calligraphy stimulates an urge to learn Arabic and get a deeper understanding of this Artistic jewelry of the Cape Malay tradition. Soni's Art inspired the young artists whose works are displayed at the exhbition. This books should be in every school library and in all university and corperate libraries in all communities.
