Architecture and Preview of Heaven

Make a Dream

In Islam there is no painting. Although Muslims are now starting to like the paintings, but in fact the expedition in the field of Islamic art is architecture. Therefore, Muslims are very superior in this field. So beautiful, beautiful Borobudur or Prambanan, the color remains the color of the stone, the color gray. There are no colors in there games. Unlike the buildings of the Islamic people who use color as part of a sense of aesthetics.

Everyone will say that such a beautiful-beautiful buildings on earth, until now, is the Taj Mahal. In addition to the form and sophistication in calligraphy and painting arabesknya, game colors are also used. White color combined with the environment on the river casting extraordinary beauty, and at the full moon became incredibly amazing. Unfortunately now there is pollution from factory chimneys, so the color began to blur. Besides the Taj Mahal, the color game - besides the beauty of form - is also very visible on buildings mosques in Iran, Al-Hamra palace in Granada, or mosque Cordova.

Qur'anic concepts of beauty, for example about heaven is very inspiring. Depictions of the Koran that heaven is flowing water below, is used as a source of inspiration for beauty. Then in front of the building the Taj Mahal, for example, there is a long pool which actually inspired by the Koran. Because in this pool there are water fountains and the like, which may be too expensive to be disclosed at all times, so that now only in certain times of the fountains turned on.

That is the element of sense of beauty as the descriptions of heaven (in which the river flows [Q, 2:25, 266, etc.]). Making the river is high, must consider the environmental context of cultural factors. Because the Arabs when it received the Quran live in the desert which, of course, there are no rivers, the yearning to water, rivers, gardens, parks, and the like is very high. No wonder when the Arabs began to have the ability to express a sense of beauty, they refer to things that are something like heaven.

In the Al-Hamra (Spain), for example, garden or magnificent garden, where water is used as a component of architectural elements which are adapted from the description of Paradise in the Qur'an.
