Karachi Coast. ©Ian Garrett 2022. Acrylic on Canvas 16 x 12 inches.

In 2022  a friend of mine went to Karachi. While he was there he filmed the view from the coast. The scene he filmed was absolutely breathtaking. The bright colours that the setting sun cast into the sky were a stark contrast against the dark colours of the ocean, This reminded me of a verse from Surah al Khaf. 

The verse talks about a prophet named Dhul Qarnayn. The verse describes the scene he saw when he witnessed the setting of the sun over a body of water. it describes the sun setting into murky water, This is exactly how it looks when the sun sets over the ocean,
