Nabi Muhammad

Prophets of Baal circle a raised altar with a bull laid upon the wood, crying out and moving in ritual frenzy while one lifts a curved blade overhead. In the foreground, Elijah stands apart as the solemn witness to the contest on Mount Carmel, where Israel must discern between the Lord and a powerless idol. The empty altar and unanswered sacrifice point to the dramatic tension of 1 Kings 18: Baal’s prophets call from morning until midday, but there is no voice, no answer, and no fire. The scene captures the futility of false worship before the living God and prepares the viewer for Elijah’s prayer and the divine fire that will follow.
