Islam shaped the arts of the Islamic world just like Christian religion influenced those of Europe, and Hindu influenced those of India. Islam forbade the worshiping of idols, and therefore disallowed artists to paint or sculpt representations of God or of human figures in religious art. Thus, mosques were decorated with abstract paintings and geometric patterns, and Muslims developed great skills in calligraphy. Islam teachings also influenced literature. Many famous books and poems were written to pass morals taken from Islam teachings.

Basic teaching of Islam is belief in the ONENESS of Almighty Allah (God). It is strictly against idol worship. To exclude even the smallest doubt from the life a Muslim, Islam forbids the pictures (3-D) or statues of all living beings. As a result the Muslim art is mostly based on calligraphy of the verses of the holy Qur'an and saying of the holy prophet. The Muslims decorate their mosques with these verses written in diverse manner.
