The unique architecture of Isfahan, the Blue City and the pottery of the nearby city , Kashan are among the bests
The golden age of Islam. Proud to be Muslim
Was ist islamic Art. İst das, Arabic, oder Indisch, oder Persish, oder Türkisch...?
@@zekialpan8539All of them.
you're proud to be a liar????
@zekialpan8539 it's an umbrella term that includes all of the ethnicities you listed, don't feign ignorance lol
@@rmatene whats your logic ? do you have working brain ?
Excellent Magnificent How could we - the U.S. military/government - treat Muslims so horridly? We must honor, uphold, respect and learn from their spirituality, their architecture, their sense of order, and their artistic disipline. (sp?) Gary in Hilo
Please…
thanks man ...
U got it 🌟🌙🕌
agree with you
Thanks for your comments
Love this documentary! Such intricate, inspiring art.
These are absolutly amazing. The modern artisans!
Being Turkish İ am happy that people saved these artificials for next generations to understand each other
@user yes we are secular, i dont like islam
@user turkey is a secular country, go and read constitution, maybe majority of people are muslims, but not a muslim country since 1923,why should i go? You can go to Pakistan or arabia
we should ship all murtads to china
@@arcmedya2388 why pakistan send them to Arabia!
@@arcmedya2388 you can go America or Europe 😂... Since before 1200 Muslims came to anatolia. For 700 years. Secularism started barely 100 years.. Carry on crying.. 95% of Turkey is Muslim.. Every city evety village has a mosque... Biz osmanlı torunuyuz
I am crying seeing the beauty🥺❤️
the only better way to understand Islam is by looking at the different people in that faith and cultures
Extraordinary architecture 😍
This was beautiful. Islamic artwork is so beautiful. It seems the Italians were more than inspired by the beauty of the Ancient world. And stole or claim the work of the Ancient world as their own

Ya in sicily..No building s beauty is ultimate without domes.

Inspired? Weren't the Romans hundreds of years older? How can you claim such a thing when you have no proof?

@@militaryworld2304 how are you
What amazes me is the fact that how they managed to loot so much!!!!!
Hmm, if you buy something from someone is that looting?
@@annwilliams6438 you mean like the way they looted Iraq 🇮🇶 artifacts
@@annwilliams6438 When Westerners Invaded middle Eastern countries killed millions destroyed most of the places and took away the valuable. That's not looting?
@@annwilliams6438 when other nations have artefacts not from their own history, they can give these things their own meanings. Since the West was so anti-East, they seemed to be obsessed with their way of living. This is also the case now. For what reason?!
@Janitor Queen but colonial european countries didn’t buy this. They looted it.
Thank you for this amazing presentation!
The thumbnail image of Kashan poetry is the smartest choice for this amazing video 🌺🌺
An integrated civilization... Scholars who established science and knowledge in all directions deserve people to respect Muslims at all times
Science which was mainly based on Greek and Roman work.
Dr. Abdul Wahab Al-Mesiri said about art:
" I later learned that many foreigners who converted to Islam entered it through Islamic arts. The artist Béjart, a well-known French ballet dancer, converted to Islam by studying carpets and the drawings installed in them. Roger Garaudy (the French Islamic philosopher) also had a special interest in Islamic architecture, and perhaps this alerted preachers. For Islam, the importance of Islamic art and civilizational Islam."
I love this!! Thank you, F24!!
Thanks for uploading Islamic Cultural documentary
Absolutely wonderful ! Thank you ... Watch Ertugrul:Resurrection (Father of Osman, founder of the Ottoman Empire)
Beautiful Art and beautiful people are around!
This is the best part of the Met. Thank you for showing how they constructed these beautiful spaces and put together the exhibits. Stunning.
Fantastic and inspiring
Beautiful art
Awesome 👌
Well preserved
Amazing
Excellent documentary 👍
Wow all of this was stolen from us, even the mosques lamps. Gifted?!! Yeah right, just like the Muslim Algerian skulls were "gifted".
No worries, I truly believe that everything will get back to it's owners. Bi idni Allah aja wajal
Sure, there was tons of stealing (on all sides), but there was a high level of communication between political leaders in Europe, Asia and the Middle East since the Romans, and gifts were common. Islamic Empires have been like the Roman Empire, Chinese Empire and Empires throughout Europe: they conquered through bloodshed and looted their enemies, absorbing people, lands and culture (including artwork and priceless artefacts).
Would you like to consider all the cities conquered and "stolen" by Islamic and European Empires? The Dome of the Rock is on 4 different religious holy sites claimed by different peoples before Islam got there. If you want to have a petty squabble over who "owns" what, and where it comes from, you'll find a hard time tracking down all the twists and turns of history.
And remember, Islamic regions included what is now Spain and Asia, so it is a vast heritage, and you might find that valued Islamic artwork really "belongs" to a country that you now dislike.
I wonder if the Blue Mosque is going to be given back to the Christians?
@@annwilliams6438 nothing is going to be given back to you just like how u turned the ummayad mosque in Spain into a church
@@13minutestomidnight I Agree to an extent wih you statement but you are incorrect when it comes to the Islamic Claim to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Historically it was the site of Two Jewish Temples both of which were destroyed, first by Babylonians than by Romans, when the Muslims Conquered Jerusalem under the Caliph Umar the Temple Mount was turned into a Rubbish put by Byzantines aka Eastern Roman Empire, the Muslims are the ones who made the Temple Mount a Holy Site once again and built the Masjd Al-Aqsa under the Ummayid Caliph Abd Al Malik, Muslims are part of the Heritage and History of Jerusalem and the Holy Land no one could deny it.
@@annwilliams6438 you mean Haghia Sophia.😊
*Fun Fact: The Muslim Ruler Nur Ad Din of Islamic Andulsia Spain used the "Fleur de lis" as his Kingdom symbol. The French copied that symbol afterwards*
OMG..... Allstuffs you performing here are so amazing ! Thank you.... I hope I can visit the museum !

This technique is way back than the Roman and Greek
It's originated in Iraq in the summerian and Babylonian empires and any one can visit Uruk city can see this glazed mosaic still obvious on the bricks of it walls or you can Google Ishtar gate it's on piece of that kind of glazed bricks
Great video and clarified some of my confusions of history. I visited Met and Louvre and saw many of items in the video. I will make a video of Islamic arts in Met when I visited in 2011.

Beautiful

It’s interesting to me that the Islamic art of Indonesia, which is a religiously pluralistic society but has more Muslims citizens than any country on earth, is not mentioned at all a video representing Islamic art from across the world…
Gamelan Sinar Surya, that is a pity! I would love to see it included.
I guess they focused mostly on the artifacts they have in Europe.
Indonesia became Muslim in the late 1300s, somewhat late, as the golden age was from the 8th century to the 13th century. This is probably why the it overlooked, unfortunately.
The right thing to do would be to give these treasures back to their home of origin. Also the many other stolen works of art from around the world.
mankind steals from mankind, free kurdistan, OK?
I love that a french person is translating french to english. There's irony in there somewhere im sure :))
@ 5:06 They show the map of the Islamic world and exclude Bangladesh!? Its the 3rd largest Muslim state in the world and major hub of trade in the medieval Islamic world. For one the Muslin fabric was produced there and was a hot selling item at the time!!
Also Indonesia and Malysia
@@mohammedmessaoudi2882 Yes we can't forget them, being that Indonesia is the largest Muslim state on Earth!
what's missed..sulleiman was constantly in wars he had no time for artistry it was his second wife kidnapped by tatars from polish kingdom at that time & sold as slave to his huram.. her name Aleksandra Lisowska a doughter of priest from orthodox church ...she became Sulaiman wife & it was her who expanded the architecture & artistry in ottoman empire thx to her we can enjoy in seeing this today..
Davina summed it up 🕋🕌🌙🌟
The art that creates 🌎🌏🌍#sharedunderstandings
Alhamdulillah
The live creation shapes on carpets etc is not good but the rest artwork s amazing...book stands till this day are used.
Amazing documentary, u made my day
No one cares with u
Sahih al-Bukhari 6109
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His face got red with anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection ."
TV screens and Smartphones screens are literally moving pictures but I guess it doesn't deterre you from hypocrisy.
Which museum is here
Thanks to France 24 for this, really nice .

Who lacks something cannot give it. Therefore, it is certain that the great scholars, both Muslims and non-Muslims, know from the depths of their hearts that the Islamic civilization (beginning with the father of the prophets and humanity and the first of the Muslims, the Prophet Adam) is the civilization that established the sciences of all kinds (until these sciences flourished during the reign of the master of the first and last of creation and the seal of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad). The reason is very clear, which is that ALLAH Almighty is the Creator and Owner of everything, so the knowledge of His creation is not hidden from Him. And as an explanation of everything that ALLAH wanted man to know, after He sent down Adam and Eve from Paradise to Earth, He spoke to some of His prophets, inspired some of them, and inspired those He chose among His righteous servants. Also, the leading scholars rightly know that the Arabic language is the mother of all languages, the most eloquent and the most complete, and that it is not possible to replace or put any language in its place in a way that is not fake. They know that non-Muslim civilizations are guided by passion and their slogan is ignorance, and every time Islamic rule is overthrown, they attack and plunder the knowledge of Islam and Muslims, then attribute the merit of this knowledge to themselves. through empty talk, falsification of history, and other means. And [The condition of human beings since the fall of the Islamic empire] enough proof of my comment.
Gifted? Laughing in arabic
Interesting program but all maps are wrongs, I don't understand why a channel accept that
Let's learn 🌐♥️

Very nice program. Learned a lot.
The Quran is a miracle and the caligraphy of the Quranic Arabic is the center piece of Islamic art.
The Persian book the king of kings (SHANAMA) was not written for Safavid king, It was written for MAHMUD OF GHAZNA - GHAZNAVID EMPIRE

further in video they just proof my point..hehehe where i also forgot mention asia especially china from where rest copied most of things (that's includes mongols, Persians arabs & ottomans-turks)..hehehe just saying

Can you translate normally and stop mocking French accent?
Pretty sure the translators are French people who speak English
We dnt Say God , We say Allah . There's no God but Allah ,it's not my words
It's the same bruh trust me, I'm Iraqi Muslim and I read The Quran many times.
We Muslim don’t believe it’s a new faith That was the first faith. Give it to Adam peace be upon him.
There is a difference between beliefs and archaeological evidence. If you can provide evidence that Adam was given the 'Faith' then do hurry the MET is waiting.

So sad that this science was lost....
Unfortunately, Westerners miss the point by focusing on the materialistic characteristics of Islamic Architecture but ignore the Soul and Core of the Religion itself, even when they enter a mosque they just look at the tiles or scriptures...
It’s crazy how all of this is stolen from its native mother land and they show it off with no shame
You can return Constantinople snd will return the trinkets.
The Moors.
Here we go.

If the Arabic before Islam..they stay in tent and Dead palm huts in deseart. While in hilland they build stone house

your first map seems to suggest that Islam (or the Umayyad Empire?) spread from Spain? neither of course is true, so what have you been thinking? what are you doing? who makes these films? as usual, the commentary is idées reçues only, hardly any information on the objects and those who made them. I am shocked. also the orientalist music is quite annoying.
