Words uttered by the Prophet Muhammad: "God is Beautiful and Loves Beauty."
An Islamic Hadith also states: "God Likes that when you do anything, you do it excellently."
Islamic art certainly manifests such aspirations. The simplicity of its intricacy, the divine sensuality of its curves, its capacity to stretch the soul and mind towards that which is loving and perfect--all create a refuge in the struggles of life, for life is a melding of opposites: of the human and the divine, of the sacred and the profane.
