 In Persian architecture, decoration has an essential role. During the Islamic era depicting the human face was prohibited; hence, the Muslim artist portrays the most magnificent forms of decoration in the arrangement of abstract designs to ornament a religious and spiritual structure. Also, the Arabic language, being the language of the Holy Quran, entered all aspects of a Muslims’ lives including industrial and architectural elements.From the 10th century AD (4th Hegira), the use of Quranic verses in religious monuments especially in decorating the mihrab began; however, in the 11th century AD (5th Hegira) during the reign of the SELJUK ERA, many innovations took place in decorating mosques and monuments. Proficient calligraphers and designers dexterously combined the Arabic script with sublime aesthetical features and added eminence to it. In this regard many structures and mihrabs were ornamented with the words of God. Initially, these decorations were carried out brick arrangement and rectangular Kufic and later plaster replaced brick for its easiness in use and improved consequences. With the development of knotted Kufic, other scripts of decorative Kufic and the Naskh and Thuluth script; decorative elements with arabesque and geometric patterns adorned mosques and tombs.According to research, the vast majority of these decorative elements are found in mosques throughout Isfahan and the Quranic verses customarily denote to the traits of Prayer and the role of mosque in Islam.
