Description
Rukun Iman’ known as the articles of faith or the ‘six pillars of Islam’ are regarded as the foundation in which a Muslim’s beliefs stand on. These pillars are very important and hold heavy weight to all Muslims. The name ‘Iman’, meaning ‘faith’ or ‘belief ‘ is derived from the Arabic نما (amura) ‘meaning to be faithful’. As a concept ‘Iman’ in Islamic theology denotes a believer’s faith in the metaphysical aspects of Islam. It’s most simple de nition is the belief in the six articles of faith ‘Rukun Iman’ (arkān al-īmān.)
In the inaugural solo exhibition entitled Rukun Iman at A2Z Art Gallery in Hong Kong, the South East Asian artist Engku Iman presents a selected body of works that expound the six foundations of her artistic practice: Religion / Culture / Society / Roles / Gender / Humanity.
