What is Hilye-i Şerif?
Hilye-i Şerif is a compilation of artworks that define Muhammad the Prophet’s nice moral, gestures and character. Muslim artists, back in the days, had preferred to make artworks on the Prophet not by drawing him, but leaving statements regarding his character. In time these artworks led to the stream of Hilye-i Şerif.
