Nabeela Malik

Qudra’

Qudra’ Arabic word meaning capacity, ability, capability, power strength and might.

“These arm pieces were made for the purpose of recognizing strength. The strength of people in all walks of life who are going through hardships, yet they are still resilient and have conviction of faith in themselves and in God. Recognizing that God does not burden us beyond our capacity rather God knows that we have the strength to fight through these hardships and become stronger. I believe that life is about growth and self-reformation. Whenever there are hardships in life, I see them as a blessing, that God saw potential in me to fight through them and grow. I aspire to be like those who are currently going through unimaginable circumstances, yet they are still full of love and rather than being upset with God for inflicting these troubles on them, their faith in Him is stronger than ever . ”
