Islamic geometric patterns | Showcase Special

In this special edition, Showcase takes a look at Islamic Geometric patterns. Geometric designs have a special place in Islamıc art. A combination of repeated squares and circles can be found on a variety of buildings, garden floors, carpets and even textiles. Far from being mere forms of decoration, these repetitive geometric designs are meant to connect the viewer to a higher state of consciousness.

@@sami3566 There were great civilizations in what's now called the Middle East many years before Islam was born, when Islam took over these areas, they destroyed the old civilizations but the knowledge and craftmanship continued and termed as Islamic art... the pre-existing great civilizations were never recognized as pre-Islamic world is supposed to be barbaric, backward and devoid of anything worthwhile according the newly crafted Islamic history.

THANKS for such a wide-ranging view. I suddenly realized that I have now been interested in Islamic geometric for 4o years (and no sign of slowing down).

Just 5:21 WOW!! Masterpieces!!these magnificent monuments are witnessed that Muslims organized complex geomatric pattern to the world.

[@طارقبنزياد-ب5ع]

⚠️ There are a lot of inaccuracies in the program!!! Al-Attarin School is located in Morocco, not in Egypt!!! Another thing is that the Al-Hamra Mosque in Spain is one of the decorations of Moroccan craftsmen. It is only built in Spain, which always calls for Moroccan craftsmen to repair these decorations by agreement with the Moroccan authorities since ancient times.

[@ytskt]

it seems to driven by political motivation rather than historic accuracy.

Mimar Sinan was no michaelangelo, he was Mimar Sinan! He doesn’t need any other identity😌

[@darkvioletcloud]

I think the usage of comparing him to Michaelangelo, a more well-known artist in the West, is to have those unfamiliar with Mimar Sinan understand the importance of his work and how prolific he was. That's typically why people make these "the [other famous person person] of [profession]" comparisons. It's no slight against Sinan's work.

[@propps2253]

Everything has a different vibration and a different geomteric pattern in the universe. The mosque, churches, temples are a version of the universe and the human body and to show how you reach union with Allah. Everything in life has geomteric patterns, a lot of symbols in religion have a meaning, you have to learn more about alchemy to see why they build it this way. And like all religions know thyself and you will know Allah and reality.

Exactly that pissed me off

[@ennajihihoussame8351]

Al Attarine Mosque is in Morocco NOT Egypt, Beside you're misleading people calling it Islamic geometric pattern, there is Moroccan patterns (found only in Morocco and Al Andalus built under it's rule), and Persian Patterns, then Turkish patterns, there is no Islamic ones 90% of islamic word doesn't have geometric patterns and never made them.

Stars represent life. But they are also symbols of archangels and deities. Such as the Archangel Metatron in the Hebrew tradition and “Metatron‘s cube” or the Sri Yantra In the Hindu tradition. Well the circle represented the infinite Creator

Wonderful work, informative and pleasant to watch. Some parts of the presentation could be slightly improved: (5:25 - 7:00) Instead of forcing the watchers to read the text and listen to a repetitive jangle in the background, proper voice over along with scenes lasting a bit longer would be much more enjoyable. And one more tip as someone who posts frequently watched videos on KZbin (on a different account), if you want your videos to reach more than 20-50 people, publish only 1-2 videos per day at most, until you have at least 100k subscribers. The more you post, the less will KZbin show your videos. I want to see TRT World grow :)

Some Pagan Temples have geometric floor plans and mosaics etc, various Geometric shapes and colours are associated with various Gods, it's possible the artists who recreated these patterns later on were also aware of this, and it might have determined why they had a preference for some shapes and numbers rather than others?

Ask your Pope to bring out one original Injeel (Bible) which was given to Prophet Jesus by Allah God Almighty from his great Vatican library, and let the Christian world know the Truth. Since it is not possible, you will keep riding the wrong train. 🥵

As for the disbelievers, they will have the Fire of Hell, where they will not be ˹allowed to be˺ finished by death, nor will its torment be lightened for them. This is how We reward every ˹stubborn˺ disbeliever. There they will be ˹fervently˺ screaming, “Our Lord! Take us out ˹and send us back˺. We will do good, unlike what we used to do.” ˹They will be told,˺ “Did We not give you lives long enough so that whoever wanted to be mindful could have done so? And the warner came to you. So taste ˹the punishment˺, for the wrongdoers have no helper.” Quran 35:36,37
