The use of the term "Islamic" in artistic contexts has been the focus of much discussion. Defining the arts as a component of cultural production as opposed to a religious activity is grounded on the Eurocentric philological diachronic system that historicized Islam to a romanticized origin. This led to the assumption that the apparent later developments of the religion, such as Sufism and the arts, was a departure from the original paradigm. Though somewhat outside the purview of this essay, it is important to highlight that Sufism and the arts were not later developments of Islam; rather, they were realities from the start of the religion though without a name or institution. The historization of Islam precipitated a predisposition that the arts in the Islamic world was a consequence of Western influence. Islamic art was then studied through the prism of Western modalities of expression, form, and substance rather than within the framework of the material culture in Islamic thought. Even though the association of the arts as a component of cultural production is portrayed as secular, conveying an appearance of neutrality and universality, this was not the case. Islamic art was impetuously evaluated against the ideals of Christian visual forms. All this has made it nearly impossible to understand Islamic art from an Islamic perspective. Without correction, attempts to do so frequently represent Islam incorrectly and perpetuate Orientalist social and political tropes.Through the intricate interplay of the intellectual framework of Islamic discourse on material culture, the visual domain, the role of the image in the material and immaterial realm, and aesthetics in Sacred Scripture, literature, theology, cosmology, and philosophy, this study presents research that considers an understanding of the art forms in the Islamic world from an Islamic perspective. Traditional Islamic art forms are fundamentally based on the Islamic Scriptural concept of beauty. Although the Qur'an has a few words that can be translated as "beauty," such as "husn" and "jamal," this essay will primarily focus on the word "ihsan" since it captures the etymology of the concept of beauty and its connection to ethics, aesthetics, intellect, and spirit. The cultivation of ihsan in Islamic art is acutely prevalent in Islamic calligraphy and the geometric patterns ornamenting sacred architecture throughout the Islamic world. Essential to the understanding of Islamic art as religious is that the art forms do not imitate the outward forms of things but rather presents their inner archetypal realities, wherefore the emphasis on letters (calligraphy), and numbers (geometry).
