    The light of knowledge and the adornment of virtue

    Samāʿ and Islamic Aesthetics

    Samāʿ and Prophetic praise (madīḥ) belong to the aesthetics of this approach; through them the shaping of the human being is completed in its most luminous spiritual and intellectual form.

    With a methodology that joins «the light of knowledge with the adornment of virtue», the Center attends to aesthetics through the study of samāʿ and Prophetic praise (madīḥ), so that the human being is shaped in the most luminous spiritual and intellectual form.

    The «Aesthetics wing» oversees the spiritual-artistic dimensions: madīḥ, samāʿ, Qur'anic recordings and meaningful production, within the da'wa dimension of the Center.

    For the people of this approach, the Islamic aesthetic arts — samāʿ, inshād, calligraphy, geometry and zellige — are understood as expressions of tawhid and beauty (al-jamāl), not passing ornament.
