ACTIVITY 1.1.1 Personal Reflection

 Write a 500 word reflective journal entry on how a particular form of art (MUSIC, PAINTING, DANCE, LITERATURE) has impacted your life. Describe the emotions it evoked and the insight you gained from the experience.     I want to reflect on how the Qur'an, specially the Surah (Al-Qadr and Ash-sharh), has impacted to me.

This painting is one of Rembrandt’s most dramatic works and was stolen in the infamous 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. 1. Description (What do you see?) In this painting, a small fishing boat struggles in the midst of a violent sea storm. The boat is tilted dramatically as giant waves crash over it. Thirteen men—Jesus and His twelve disciples—are seen reacting in various ways: some panic, one is vomiting, others try to stabilize the sails, and one man appears calm, likely representing Jesus. The sky is ominous, with dark clouds dominating the upper half of the canvas. There's a strong contrast between light and shadow. 2. Analysis (How is th...
