An abstract expressionistic work with One of the 99 divine names of Allah.

Al Samad - The Eternal 

This divine attribute and the name means –

The One who is eternal and above whom there is none. The One who is unaffected, unchanged, and without any needs.

“He is Allah, the One. Allah, THE ETERNALLY BESOUGHT OF ALL. He begotten not nor was begotten. And there is noncomparable unto him.”
(112:1-4) The Holy Quran

Allah is eternal and above whom there is none. He is unaffected, unchanged, and without any needs.
He is sought by all, and who is above all. He can satisfy every need and without whom no affair could be accomplished.
He satisfies every need as it should be satisfied, and not necessarily as mankind might imagine.
He is the sole recourse, the only one to turn to. Upon whom all depend, yet He does not depend on any.

“Al Samad is the one to whom one turns in respect of (one’s) needs
and the one to whom one goes in respect of (one’s) desires since
the ultimate degree of sovereignty is his”. Ghazali

Quran tells us: "Say: He, Allah, is One. Allah is He on Whom all depend".|The Holy Quran (112:1-2)
