🎨 Johann Michael Wittmer

This image is the artwork “Outside the Gates of Smyrna” (1833) by Johann Michael Wittmer.
The work depicts a scene from everyday life in the early 19th century in the Ottoman Empire.

In the painting, people are seen socializing in an area outside a city gate or along a caravan route in Izmir (historically known as Smyrna). A caravan can also be seen in the scene, reflecting the movement of travelers and trade around the city.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "In the end times, my ummah (community) will love five things and forget five things:

They will love wealth and forget the reckoning,
They will love life and forget death,
They will love the creation and forget the Creator,
They will love sins and forget repentance,
They will love palaces (grand mansions) and forget the graves."

The Messenger of God has spoken the truth.
