elements of the art in terms of their design, rendition of the arches, and dome of their mosques
Muslim set the shape and design of the mosque as their basic art motif.

doctrine of Islam has prohibited the depiction of human and animal figures. In some cases, however,
a painting is created when it has a mandate from authorized religious authorities.

motif of the mosque aesthetic design. This adaptation of the mosque design is shown not just in
religious places like shrines and mausoleums but also in palaces and other secular places. This motif
