Concept: Mind

In his artworks, Davlat Toshev focuses on the topics of thoughts, knowledge, and wisdom. For centuries, the purity of mind, and the desire for discovery and expansion of knowledge had deep meaning and tradition in Islam. While certain types of knowledge are open for everyone, some are so precious that they need to be passed from generation to generation, from teacher to student.

Wiseman

Hadith:

Narrated by Ibn `Abbas: “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “There is no envy except in two: a person who God has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (ie religious knowledge) and he gives His decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others.”

Keys of Paradise

Narrated by Abu Huraira: I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?” Allah’s Apostle said,  “O Abu Huraira! “I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.”
