In religious contexts, this constraint on what artists can depict extends to human figures and other living creatures as well. These prohibitions have inspired a rich visual culture based on calligraphy, Arabesque floral designs, and geometry, all of which feature strongly in the art and design found throughout the Muslim world, including mosques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the help of fine art and religious experts, host Rageh Omaar (The Life of Muhammad) traces the effect of these beliefs over the centuries on the art and artists of the Islamic world and considers why depictions of pilgrims taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage have become part of the accepted tradition of Islamic art, including in work exhibited at the British Museum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirected \u0026amp; produced by Faris Kermani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExecutive Producer: Mike Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Crescent Films production for BBC Four\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApprox. 60 minutes • Widescreen • Not Rated • English: Stereo • English SDH Subtitles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"PBS Distribution \/ Crescent Films","offers":[{"title":"New, Sealed In Box","offer_id":67620925997334,"sku":"137269","price":39.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20260929214237721d21e7cf62c6.jpg?v=1790743503","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-hidden-art-of-islam","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
