ISLAMIC ART

Islamic art is a modern concept created by art historian in the 19th century to facilitate categorization and study of the material bfirst produced bunder the Islamic people that emerged from Arabia in tge seventh century.

Today , the term a Islamic art describes all of the arts that were produced vin the lands where Islam was the dominant religion of those who ruled. Unlike the terms Christian art, Jewish art and Buddhist art - which refer only to religious art of these faiths - the tetm Islam art is not used merely to describe religious art or architecture but applies to all art forms produced in the Islamic world.

Thus, the term Islamic art refers not only to works created by Muslim artist , artisans and architects or tor Muslim patrons . It encompasses works created by Muslim artist for patron of faith , including - Christian, Jewish or Hindus - and the work created by Jews , Christian and others , living in Islamic lands for patrons , Muslim and otherwise.

One of the most famous monuments of Islamic art is the Taj Mahal, aroyal mausoleum , located in Agra , India.

ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE

Mosque are also used throughout the week for prayer , study or simply as place for rest and reflection. The main mosque of a city , used for the friday communal prayer, is called a jami masjid , literally meaning " friday mosque" , but it is also sometimes called congregational mosque in English.The styles , layout and decorations of a mosque can tell us a lot about Islam in general , but also about the period in which the mosque was constructed.

The architecture of a mosque is shaped most strongly by the regional tradition of the time and place where it ws built. As a result , style , layout and decorations can vary greatly. Nevertheless, because of the common function of the mosque as aplace of congregational prayer, certain architarchitectural features appear in mosque all over the world.
