Celebrating Eid Al-Adha With Disney’s Aladdin
Aadil partnered with Aladdin the Musical on an original painting, created on-site at the show’s theater on Broadway.
Reimagining a Disney Icon
In 2022, Disney on Broadway reached out to Aadil for a special project to mark Eid al-Adha, a Muslim holiday celebrating community and sacrifice. The team flew Aadil to New York City to paint a one-of-a-kind piece at Aladdin’s New Amsterdam Theater, combining Disney’s storytelling magic with Aadil’s artistry.
For this project, Aadil reimagined an iconic Disney symbol, the magic lamp, in his signature arabesque style. The collaboration pays homage to the Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian cultures and communities that inspired Aladdin by featuring a verse by the 13th-century Persian poet Hafez:
"I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, The astonishing light of your own being.”
