Hagia Sophia is an architectural art of Islamic ritualistic and worship dimension situated in the Istanbul region of Turkey. The art represented a place of worship for the faithful Islamic beginning in the 6th century. The Byzantine emperor was the driver before the planning and building of the Hagia Sophia (Nugteren, 2019). The uniqueness of Hagia Sophia is cultural and religious diversity since the dome-shaped building became a mosque following the inversion\u00a0of Istanbul by the Ottoman armies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lamp with non-figural decorations is a representative church instrument whose role is alleviating evil amongst followers.\u00a0It existed between the years 1300 to 1400 in the history of Islamic Art with Syrian and Egyptian roots. Enameled and gilded glass provided the media for making mosque lamps (Islamic Art and Culture). The majority of Islamic art lamps consisted of inscriptions of Light sura verses. Currently, the location of the “lamp with non-figural configurations” is the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. <\/p>\n
The purpose of delving into Islamic Art is to explore visual arts in different periods and cultures contributing to the Islamic religion. Islamic Art developed and transmitted from generation to generation regardless of cultural variations. Sasanian and Byzantine predecessors were responsible for the progression and perpetuation of Islamic Art among generations and cultures. Besides, this topic explores geometric patterns and composition in Islamic Art and its ornamental and aesthetic contribution to the resulting feature (Early Islamic Art and Architecture). Geometric elements contributed to the harmony and unity of Islamic Art, satisfying the aspirations of Islamic culture (promoting balance, order, and unity). Since several Islamic artworks depict God’s perfection and creation, they entail ritualistic pieces showing worship and spiritual connectedness (Ekhtiar & Moore, 2012). Despite the prohibition of figural representation of humans and animals, Islamic art has vast figural representation in other aspects of Islamic culture, such as worship, ritual and spiritual objects, textiles, mural tiles, wall paintings, ceramics, metalwork, and illumination manuscripts. Several Islamic arts attracted relevance in religious settings and had religious purposes hence eliciting interest in further exploration to identify elements, features, locations, media, and religious significance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
