Abstract

This paper will look at some of the Quranic, dua (invocations) and hadith (traditions) texts of great popularity for inscriptions, and their location and Quaranic definitions in the Timurid and Safavid periods. It is noteworthy that from the earliest times the written word has been used as an important and sometimes the sole form of decoration in mosques and for religious objects to tally lacking figural decoration. In Islam, Quran, the literal word of God, has always been employed by Muslim artists for inscription in mosques, madrasas (religious schools) and holy places, such as imamzadehs (shrines) and khanqahs (monastries). In addition to employing the Quranic texts for inscription, Muslim artists also used dua and hadith inscription also considered in this paper. Apart from their beauty and physical attractiveness, these spiritual inscriptions help man to feel the Divine Presence everywhere, such as in mosques, schools, shrines, and monastries, and to attend to the effusion of elegance emerging from the spirit. So these selected verses were meant to encourage the minds of Muslims to consider and praise God alone. But one question has still not been answered: By whom and how have these verses of Quran, dua and hadith been selected? And why did artists decorate and fill religious places with these sort of writings? The discussion which follows will consider this question and three branches of religious inscriptions (Qur anic, du a and hadith inscriptions) will be dealt with in relative detail.
