Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, though not entirely, Islamic art has focused on the depiction of patterns and Arabic calligraphy, rather than human or animal figures, because it is believed by many Muslims that the depiction of the human form is idolatry and thereby a sin against God that is forbidden in the Qur’an.
Detailed explanation-2: -Calligraphy is a very important art form in the Islamic world. The Qur’an, written in elegant scripts, represents Allah’s-or God’s-divine word, which Muhammad received directly from Allah during his visions. Quranic verses, executed in calligraphy, are found on many different forms of art and architecture.
