Documentary Islamic Art History called Paradise Found

[Mabsoot]

We imagine many things when we think of this word. However, we do not think about Islamic Architecture, which influenced the ... all art of Europe so profoundly. This documentary tours through the Muslim world, in search of that "atmosphere of Paradise," hidden away in mosques and palaces.

So intersting. :)
Unfortuantely, when dynasties fulfilled their ambitions they turned away from the Straight Path, and it's one of the major reason of their decadence.
But what about others areas and places : Irak, Sudan, Senegal, noth Africa, Armenia, Uzbakistan etc. I think it still 99% to descover and to know about all of them.

Informative, fantastic and beautiful.
By watching this program,or in other words, Islamic archetecture, I have noticed something fascinating. And that is; Islamic way of thinking gives a sparkling and eternal shine to the mind of a creative thinker which produces a lasting beauty.

Hummm.. maybe "Islamic" is the wrong word we use here. Art done by Muslims. How's that? I hope you've watched the video by now. :SMILY149:

Wa'alaykum as-salaam

Woah watta watch! Mashaa'Allaah I just really love it. Is the presenter a revert? He seems really fascinated with Islaam Alhamdulillaah. May Allaah subhanahu wa ta'ala guide him if he's not a Muslim yet Aameen. I wanna go to all the places he went subhanAllaah they're so jawdropping.
