Symbols of Islam

Over 13 centuries, Islam has become a powerful religion.

Its symbols, whether linked to its doctrine (the profession of faith, prayer, alms giving) or its architecture (the Kaaba, the mosque, the mihrab), reveal both its history and cultural meaning.

This book provides a visual systhesis of the Arab-Islamic world.

Its text and full-page colour photographs - including a selection of objects from the Nasser D.

Khalili collection - aim to offer a fresh approach to this fast-growing religion.
