The finest examples of this distinctive Islamic art form ever published. Within three centuries of its advent, Islam had produced an architecture and a calligraphic art, including that of illumination, that have seldom been equaled and never surpassed, the one centered on the Mosque and the other on the Qur'an. But whereas Islamic architecture is world famous, its calligraphic art has remained relatively unknown and inaccessible. Black-and-white photographs of the art of calligraphy are plentiful, but a page of script, impressive though it can be in black and white, loses much without the tints of the paper and the ink. Splendours of Qur'an Calligraphy and Illumination reproduces the formal excellence of colors and texture that distinguish these artistic masterpieces. In all, 180 openings are displayed, carefully chosen from the greatest collections of Qur'an manuscripts in the world. 180 color large illustrations.

This is the first book in the English language to deal with the spiritual significance of Islamic art including not only the plastic arts, but also literature and music. Rather than only dealing with the history of the various arts of Islam or their description, the author relates the form, content, symbolic language, meaning, and presence of these arts to the very sources of the Islamic revelation. Relying upon his extensive knowledge of the Islamic religion in both its exoteric and esoteric dimensions as well as the various Islamic sciences, the author relates Islamic art to the inner dimensions of the Islamic revelation and the spirituality which has issued from it. He brings out the spiritual significance of the Islamic arts ranging from architecture to music as seen, heard, and experienced by one living within the universe of the Islamic tradition. In this work the reader is made to understand the meaning of Islamic art for those living within the civilization which created it.

As a traditional Islamic artist, my goal is to inspire and educate the readers if they want to understand religious art in general and specifically Islamic art. They need to understand and feel their spirit as how they felt and understand it. Knowing Islamic aesthetic was related to principles, so art works never expire and they are timeless, and those spatial essentials patterns can never be understood in a single glance or in a solitary moment even with a single sight. We must understand Islamic principles, system of faith and worship behind artistic patterns to be able to understand Islamic art's mysticism or spirituality. The impulse they must have in their religion is to worship God, and in their mystical path leads to the knowledge of God. The highest goal for tradition Islamic artists was freedom of own to connect with divinity. Then, Artists have transcended through art, and connecting with God. Their styles must represent divine beauty as a visual language that everyone can relate to.
