The Fascinating Islamic Architecture

on Thursday, May 31, 2012

Although people from various parts of the world have developed various ways of developing fascinating buildings, it’s also noteworthy to understand that even the animals have their own unique architectural marvels throughout the origin of life. For instance by analyzing the so called insignificant creatures of this planets such as the ants and the spiders who make up ugly ant hills and webs respectively actually have deep engineering designs in them as well  Its even suggested in several places that every human being who has delved deeply into the design of such engineering masterpieces are as a matter of fact not actually superior to what is seen by the marvels of the animal kingdom.

It’s not remarkable to understand that the entire Creation depends on nature from their own instincts without any prior training or reasoning because they have all been given by their Creator, Allah Himself, and is not merely an act of Muslim Education evolved from “science” since science is also from Allah. Similarly even people do this same task from their own intellect by examining these magnificent creations and developing better structures. There exists a clear relationship between the actions of people and their outlook of life in general; this states that the latter is always the cause of the former.

The erection of various buildings and other structures in an Islamic perspective is also not generally considered to be under the haram or makrooh category unless it causes any infringement towards any divinely-prescribed norms. According to Chapter 51, verse 56 of the Qur’an that says, “And I did not create the Jinn and the mankind except to worship me”

The primary reason for people to start the development of various buildings and other structures is because of the need for erection of a suitable shelter for their survival. This was the starting point for their development which gradually improved into the various buildings and sly scrapers that we have today. Muslim Education has also given a lot of knowledge towards architecture and other interesting topics to the world today because of the various benefits which it offers towards the construction field.

Another reason for the advancement of Muslim education in this field is because of their thirst to develop beautiful places of worship, i.e. mosques, for the entire Muslim community to attend their daily and weekly prayers. Due to this several prominent designs, and functions of the buildings created came up during the last coupon of centuries in different parts of the world. This can be easily observed by completing a simple Google search using the query Beautiful mosques of the world or any other similarly related phrase. Furthermore by studying various documentaries that are completed in this field by even the Non Muslims; it could be noted that even the Christian Churches of today were once built to be used as mosques by the Muslims!

In conclusion it could be said that Muslim Education has played a significant role in the overall architectural developments which are being used and analyzed today by various architects and tourists from all parts of the world.
