The term Islamic art not only describes the art created specifically in the service of the Muslim faith (for example, a mosque and its furnishings) but also characterizes the art and architecture historically produced in the lands ruled by Muslims, produced for Muslim patrons, or created by Muslim artists. As it is not only a religion but a way of life, Islam fostered the development of a distinctive culture with its own unique artistic language that is reflected in art and architecture throughout the Muslim world. Traditional architecture across the Muslim world resonates with beauty, geometry, and eloquence. While the physical manifestation has come under a great degree of study and scrutiny by art historians and architects all over the world, the striking question often missed in the conversation is what was the seed for inspiration, what or who was the driver of their creation? The simplest answer is that it was the Holy Quran, the written word of Allah, and the most complex answer is also, that it was the Holy Quran, the speech of Allah, that led to such structures of magnificence.
