Islamic lands, despite the diversity in customs and culture, each has formed a unique artistic heritage, which is collectively known as Islamic art. The spread and influence of Islam in the countries of West asia caused the emergence of new arts such as the art of ceramic making, lamp making, and the art of painting and calligraphy on glass.
Islamic art is known from its name, it is called art that was created after the birth of Islam. An art based on Islamic beliefs and principles. Perhaps the most obvious feature of Islamic art is that it does not allow sculpting and face painting and portraits in general.
The advice of Islam is to avoid painting and making pictures of people on the walls of your house and buildings. Instead of this design of flowers and plants, nature, geometric designs such as Shamsi, Khatibi design and other geometric designs are used to the highest extent in Islamic art.
Islamic art is a word that was first used by orientalists and they started researching in this field. Islamic art has been the subject of research for Western scholars since the 19th century and for Western-educated Muslim scholars in recent decades, meaning that the name was not recognized by its creators, but the term "Islamic art" first appeared in English academic settings. It was defined and then by French researchers - who are the first academic explorers of Islamic works - and then by other western explorers, it was finally extended to the definition of Islamic art and architecture.
