The mural, painted on a tan wall, shows Saleh Aljafawi with a warm smile, sporting a blue and orange striped shirt. Next to his portrait, the Arabic phrase ‘May Allah have mercy on him’ stands tall, reminding everyone of the respect and love he inspired. The scene is set against the iconic blue and white mosaics and the golden dome of the Dome of the Rock, adding a powerful cultural touch to the tribute.
