Islamic art encompasses the visual arts produced from the 7th century onwards by people (not necessarily Muslim) who lived within the territory that was inhabited by culturally Islamic populations. It includes fields as varied as architecture, calligraphy, painting, and ceramics, among others.

Typically, though not entirely, Islamic art has focused on the depiction of patterns and Arabic calligraphy, rather than on figures, because it is feared by many Muslims that the depiction of the human form is idolatry and thereby a sin against Allah, forbidden in the Qur'an.

A. How about you draw a mosque with the minarets? Its easy to draw because most mosques are square and if you google it you can see many examples.

Most of the patterns in Islamic Art are usually generated from a circle at the centre. Why is it so?

A. I think because muslims believe that this world and the universe and the life in its different aspects have Allah (god) on the center, he is the originator of everything happening around us.
