Beauty and Aesthetics in Islam
"All creation reflects the cosmic intelligence, but only man, who is the central being in the terrestrial world that he inhabits, reflects it in an active, creative sense. Reason deals with the sensory world and intellect with the metaphysical world. When a complementary relationship between reason and intellect is achieved, it can become the guide which ultimately leads man to the highest form of 'knowledge' possible. For a Muslim, Islamic art is one of the means by which he can attain this 'knowledge', whether through creating it or by contemplating its beauty." -
