Islamic Architecture

Islam calls upon people to populate the land. It considers architecture as a synonym of civilization. Therefore, Ibn-Khaldūn entitled his study of civilizations: the Science of Population. Over the centuries, the Arabs and Muslims had left behind edifices and architectural models to stand as a token of their great concern for population. They mastered architecture, implemented enchanting masterpieces and achieved the culmination of perfections. Among those edifices are the following:

The Mosque of Ahmed III, Istanbul.
Prince Taymūr Lank’s Mausoleum Samarkand.
al-Hassan Mosque.
Taj Mahal, India.
Aya Sophia (St. Sophia Basilica), Istanbul.
Mosques in Cairo.
Muhammad Alī’s Citadel, Cairo.
Imam al-Bukhāriy’s Shrine, Samarkand.
