This book aims to contribute towards the prospect of reviving the Islamic built environment as a theory and practical reality. It discusses a number of salient built environment aspects and features exclusively based on the Qur’anic worldview as the fountainhead of all wisdom and guidance. The topics deliberated are those revolving around the concepts of architecture, art, sustainable development, peaceful coexistence with the natural environment, decoration (aesthetics), housing and mosques.
A cluster of relevant Qur’anic surahs (chapters), and sets of relevant Qur’anic verses (ayat), have been identified and interpreted for the purpose. The attained results are expected to enrich the domains of the Islamic built environment theories and its codes of professional conduct significantly. They could also enhance, as well as Islamise, the Islamic built environment educational programmes and curricula, impacting in turn on the quality and appropriateness of the occupational output of the Muslim built environment professionals.
