Islamic architecture (Arabic:? ) is an important part and one of the main manifestations of Islamic art, covering various architectural styles and styles formed in Muslim areas and Islamic cultural circles from the rise of Islam to the 2 1 century. The basic types of Islamic architecture include mosques, tombs, palaces, forts, schools and various cultural facilities, and their styles have influenced and promoted the design and construction of various architectural structures in Islamic cultural circles.
The most typical feature of Islamic architecture is neither their uncovered position nor their architectural style, but their tendency to hide behind high walls and focus on indoor layout. However, Islamic architecture showed a tradition in the early stage of development. Islamic architecture inevitably develops regional differences, blending the charm of Syria, Persia and Samarkand, as well as the styles of Mecca and Medina. However, the architecture in no place can explain the characteristics of Islamic architecture alone. The development of Islamic architecture, like its religious rituals, comes directly from the daily life of believers; This is an oasis building.
The common symbols of Islamic architecture include: expressing the concept of Allah's omnipotence by repeatedly using the theme of the universe. Because Allah is considered unparalleled, people and animals rarely appear in decorative arts. Leaves are common decorative patterns, but the style is typical or simple for the same reason.
The Koran texts in buildings are usually written in Arabic calligraphy. Islamic architecture is also called "veiled architecture" because the beautiful scenery is often indoors (courtyards and houses) and can't be seen from the outside (streets). In addition, exaggerated techniques such as large domes, towering pagodas and large courtyards are also used to express infinite power.
Extended data:
Islam is a transliteration of Arabic. It was first put forward by Mohammed of Mecca in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century. Its original meaning is "obedience" and "peace", which is also translated as "Islam". It refers to obedience and belief in Allah, the sole master of the universe, and his will to seek peace and tranquility in both worlds. People who believe in Islam are collectively called "Muslims" (meaning that "obedience" and Islam "Islam" are of the same root). It rose in the Arabian Peninsula in the early 7th century and was revived by Muhammad (about 570 ~ 632, Arabic), a Gulaish tribe in Mecca. From the 7th century to17th century, in the name of Islam, a series of feudal dynasties, large and small, such as Umayya, Abbasi, Fatima, Sultanate of Delhi, India and Ottoman Empire of Turkey, were established. After more than a thousand years of historical vicissitudes, these prosperous feudal dynasties have become a thing of the past. However, Islam, as a world religion, has never declined. Islam, as a national religion at first, then as the spiritual source of a feudal empire, then as a religious, cultural and political force, and a way of life of people, developed continuously all over the world, and even became one of the three major religions in the world in 2 1 century.
Islam is one of the three major religions in the world. There are about 50 countries in the Islamic world all over Asia and Africa. In addition, there are people (Muslims) who believe in Islam in many countries on all continents. These countries include some western countries, such as Britain, America, Russia, France and Germany.
