ARCHITECTURE AND PICTURE OF HEAVEN

In Islam there is no painting. Although Muslims are now starting to like painting, but is actually an expression of Islamic art in architecture. Since then the Muslims are very excellent in the field of Architecture. So beautiful, beautiful Borobudur or Prambanan, but the color is the color of the stone, the color gray. No color games there. Unlike the buildings of the Muslims who wear the color as part of the aesthetic sense. Everyone will say that as beautiful-beautiful buildings on earth, until now, is the Taj Mahal. In addition to the form and sophistication in arabesknya calligraphy and painting, color games are also used. White color mixed with the environment on the banks of the river spread extraordinary beauty, and during the full moon became a very stunning scenery. Unfortunately now there is pollution from factory chimneys so the color began to blur. In addition to the Taj Mahal, the game-besides the beauty of the color-shape is also very visible on the buildings of mosques in Iran, al-Hamra palace in Granada, or mosque Cordova.

Concepts about beauty of the Koran, for example, about heaven, very inspiring. The depiction of the Qur'an that heaven was water flowing under it, used as a source of inspiration for beauty. Then in front of the building the Taj Mahal, for example, there is a long pond that actually inspired by the Koran. Because in this pool there are water fountains and so on, which may be too expensive to be shown of all time, so now only in certain times of the fountains turned on. That is the element of sense of beauty as the descriptions of paradise (in which flows the river [Q. 2: 25, 266, etc.]). Making the river as part of a high element of beauty, must consider the environmental context of cultural factors. Because the Arabs when he received the Qur'an of his life in the desert is, of course, there is no river, then the desire to water, rivers, gardens, parks, and the like, 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 park was magnificent, in which the components of water are used as architectural elements are adapted from the descriptions of paradise in the Qur'an.
