NOURNEWS - Human civilization has significantly flourished with the arrival of prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and the spread of Islam as a religion of love, culture and creativity. In fact, the Islamic civilization portrayed a new world enclosed with wisdom and art. It has enriched humanity with the production of a wide range of works of art, including calligraphy, ceramics, metalwork, photography, to name a few, but also extends more widely to include literature, theatre, architecture and music.
The many followers of Islam are spread around the globe from traditional lands in the Middle East and parts of Africa to metropolitan European cities. This extremely varied group of people nevertheless shares a distinct and rich style of arts, architecture, poetry, epic literature, painting, calligraphy, illumination, architects and miniature.
Being under the influence of Islamic art, the world has learnt much about peculiarities, originality, and uniqueness of Islamic art, literature and culture that are not narrowed to spirituality as this Islamic heritage is not restricted to religious themes, but instead includes all of the art and literature of the rich and varied cultures of Islamic societies.
Furthermore, the deployment of Islamic arts, literature, poems, especially those of Rumi and Hafez, has diminished a considerable imposition of the Western world on the global culture and serves as a power confronting intensive deployment of Western trends and ideologies.
Nowadays, the Islamic art is experiencing a new era with the emergence of modern genres, including graphics, digital art and photography.
