Islamic art is not limited to a single faith, period, location, or medium. Instead, it spans over 1400 years, encompasses several territories and populations, and encompasses a wide range of creative disciplines like architecture, calligraphy, and painting. Because many Muslims believe that portraying the human form is worship, and thereby a sin against God, picturing the human form is prohibited in the Qur’an, Islamic religious art is non-figural.

In Islamic art, calligraphy and architectural features are given religious significance. In the Middle Ages, the calligraphic design was common in Islamic art, and it can be seen in a broad range of subjects, including architecture and visual arts. It’s no wonder that the word, and its artistic expression, became an essential part of Islamic art in a religion where figural depictions are regarded as an act of worship.

The Quran, which is considered to be God’s speech, is Islam’s most significant religious source.
