Since early Islamic centuries, Islamic art has been inspired by the valuable learning and thoughts of Islam in different dimensions; both in the early works which represent the simplicity and unadorned forms, and the contemporary works which have a stronger multitude of decorations. However, among all of these works the integrity and the principle of unity are observed which represents itself as the spirit of art. Iran has been the center of Islamic civilization especially the Islamic art. The fundamentals of Islamic sacred art can be looked for in its land. Iranian art is among the climaxes of Islamic art.In order to realize sacred art, the meaning of "sacred affair" and "art" should be understood first.
