Masterpieces of Islamic Art, from the Umayyad Empire to the Ottomans • FRANCE 24 English 

The golden age of Islam. Proud to be Muslim

Excellent Magnificent How could we - the U.S. military/government - treat Muslims so horridly? We must honor, uphold, respect and learn from their spirituality, their architecture, their sense of order, and their artistic disipline. (sp?) Gary in Hilo

Love this documentary! Such intricate, inspiring art.

The unique architecture of Isfahan, the Blue City and the pottery of the nearby city , Kashan are among the bests

I am crying seeing the beauty🥺❤️

Being Turkish İ am happy that people saved these artificials for next generations to understand each other

What amazes me is the fact that how they managed to loot so much!!!!!

Thank you for this amazing presentation!

These are absolutly amazing. The modern artisans!

I love this!! Thank you, F24!!

Fantastic and inspiring

This was beautiful. Islamic artwork is so beautiful. It seems the Italians were more than inspired by the beauty of the Ancient world. And stole or claim the work of the Ancient world as their own

Awesome 👌

Beautiful art

This is the best part of the Met. Thank you for showing how they constructed these beautiful spaces and put together the exhibits. Stunning.

Well preserved

Extraordinary architecture 😍

Thanks for uploading Islamic Cultural documentary

Amazing

Beautiful Art and beautiful people are around!

Wow all of this was stolen from us, even the mosques lamps. Gifted?!! Yeah right, just like the Muslim Algerian skulls were "gifted". No worries, I truly believe that everything will get back to it's owners. Bi idni Allah aja wajal

An integrated civilization... Scholars who established science and knowledge in all directions deserve people to respect Muslims at all times

OMG..... Allstuffs you performing here are so amazing ! Thank you.... I hope I can visit the museum !

Excellent documentary 👍

From Indian muslim Alhamdullila🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Absolutely wonderful ! Thank you ... Watch Ertugrul:Resurrection (Father of Osman, founder of the Ottoman Empire)

Great video and clarified some of my confusions of history. I visited Met and Louvre and saw many of items in the video. I will make a video of Islamic arts in Met when I visited in 2011.

Beautiful

*Fun Fact: The Muslim Ruler Nur Ad Din of Islamic Andulsia Spain used the "Fleur de lis" as his Kingdom symbol. The French copied that symbol afterwards*

The thumbnail image of Kashan poetry is the smartest choice for this amazing video 🌺🌺

the only better way to understand Islam is by looking at the different people in that faith and cultures

Rashīd al-Dīn, under his full name Rashid al-din Fadl Allah ibn ‘Imad al-dawla abu l-Khayr, born in 1247 in Hamadan, died in 1318, is a physician, a statesman of Persian origin

7:43 This technique is way back than the Roman and Greek It's originated in Iraq in the summerian and Babylonian empires and any one can visit Uruk city can see this glazed mosaic still obvious on the bricks of it walls or you can Google Ishtar gate it's on piece of that kind of glazed bricks

Dr. Abdul Wahab Al-Mesiri said about art: " I later learned that many foreigners who converted to Islam entered it through Islamic arts. The artist Béjart, a well-known French ballet dancer, converted to Islam by studying carpets and the drawings installed in them. Roger Garaudy (the French Islamic philosopher) also had a special interest in Islamic architecture, and perhaps this alerted preachers. For Islam, the importance of Islamic art and civilizational Islam."

The art that creates 🌎🌏🌍#sharedunderstandings

50:38 Damascus room💗

what's missed..sulleiman was constantly in wars he had no time for artistry it was his second wife kidnapped by tatars from polish kingdom at that time & sold as slave to his huram.. her name Aleksandra Lisowska a doughter of priest from orthodox church ...she became Sulaiman wife & it was her who expanded the architecture & artistry in ottoman empire thx to her we can enjoy in seeing this today..

Amazing documentary, u made my day

The live creation shapes on carpets etc is not good but the rest artwork s amazing...book stands till this day are used.

Alhamdulillah

watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Davina summed it up 🕋🕌🌙🌟

@ 5:06 They show the map of the Islamic world and exclude Bangladesh!? Its the 3rd largest Muslim state in the world and major hub of trade in the medieval Islamic world. For one the Muslin fabric was produced there and was a hot selling item at the time!!

I love that a french person is translating french to english. There's irony in there somewhere im sure :))

The right thing to do would be to give these treasures back to their home of origin. Also the many other stolen works of art from around the world.

Very nice program. Learned a lot. The Quran is a miracle and the caligraphy of the Quranic Arabic is the center piece of Islamic art.

Moroccan amazigh architecture is the best out of all 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Thanks to France 24 for this, really nice . Al though you are Arab 😊 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇫🇷

Moroccan architecture 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

9:47 lol they want to distort history 🙄 this is not helpful at all 13:10 I was hoping she would say what material the golden design is made from was it hand made or printed? The man sounds like John snow from Channel 4 news and he is trying but the people from the museum/gallery are not providing any useful information.

Which museum is here

It’s interesting to me that the Islamic art of Indonesia, which is a religiously pluralistic society but has more Muslims citizens than any country on earth, is not mentioned at all a video representing Islamic art from across the world…

❤

Sahih al-Bukhari 6109 Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His face got red with anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection ."

Is the Sufi the famous Ibin Alaraby?

ALLAH!

further in video they just proof my point..hehehe where i also forgot mention asia especially china from where rest copied most of things (that's includes mongols, Persians arabs & ottomans-turks)..hehehe just saying

Interesting program but all maps are wrongs, I don't understand why a channel accept that

Let's learn 🌐♥️

سُبحان الله

Who lacks something cannot give it. Therefore, it is certain that the great scholars, both Muslims and non-Muslims, know from the depths of their hearts that the Islamic civilization (beginning with the father of the prophets and humanity and the first of the Muslims, the Prophet Adam) is the civilization that established the sciences of all kinds (until these sciences flourished during the reign of the master of the first and last of creation and the seal of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad). The reason is very clear, which is that ALLAH Almighty is the Creator and Owner of everything, so the knowledge of His creation is not hidden from Him. And as an explanation of everything that ALLAH wanted man to know, after He sent down Adam and Eve from Paradise to Earth, He spoke to some of His prophets, inspired some of them, and inspired those He chose among His righteous servants. Also, the leading scholars rightly know that the Arabic language is the mother of all languages, the most eloquent and the most complete, and that it is not possible to replace or put any language in its place in a way that is not fake. They know that non-Muslim civilizations are guided by passion and their slogan is ignorance, and every time Islamic rule is overthrown, they attack and plunder the knowledge of Islam and Muslims, then attribute the merit of this knowledge to themselves. through empty talk, falsification of history, and other means. And [The condition of human beings since the fall of the Islamic empire] enough proof of my comment.

Gifted? Laughing in arabic

The Persian book the king of kings (SHANAMA) was not written for Safavid king, It was written for MAHMUD OF GHAZNA - GHAZNAVID EMPIRE

France ,spain ,Portugal all was in Ummayat Caliphate .After many years ottoman comes it was ruled Kosovo ,Bosnia and others country

51:45 How archeologists will describe "Live, Laugh, Love" 1000 years from now.

47:35 Ottoman Spain?? Wha?

Islamic Republic of France 🇫🇷 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 France it's Arab ☪

MALAYSIA SULTAN SHOULD WATCH THIS

Preetyyy

Looted artefacts sad but true

"Arrived" "travelled".

Not islamic art! In fact it is Persian art that entered the islamic petiod.

What's the music name in start??

23:40 "In peace with one another" is a huge lie...

Greece and Rome came after

y u guys mixing persia with iran, for outsiders it was persia but for Iranians was iran..

Can you translate normally and stop mocking French accent?

What happened to us 😭

We dnt Say God , We say Allah . There's no God but Allah ,it's not my words

MIHRAB, not mirhab

The artifacts that were stolen should be returned. They do not belong in Europe as they state

27:05 or stolen by colonial Europeans.

We Muslim don’t believe it’s a new faith That was the first faith. Give it to Adam peace be upon him.

France it's Arab ☪ 🗼

duduk nunggu penulis2 patriot malasya mengaku2 bilang itu piring dari melaka 😂🤣😆

原件現存放於羅浮宮

Wrong 4 golden horde in central asia

Persian art.

@6:10 no, no , no! There was no established Christian and Jewish communities in Mecca at Muhammad's time.

Stolen relics !!!

So sad that this science was lost....

Unfortunately, Westerners miss the point by focusing on the materialistic characteristics of Islamic Architecture but ignore the Soul and Core of the Religion itself, even when they enter a mosque they just look at the tiles or scriptures...

If the Arabic before Islam..they stay in tent and Dead palm huts in deseart. While in hilland they build stone house

The Moors.

many historic mistakes

my God ..hehehe india ...hehehe what india has to do with that ..india exist from 1947..hehehe just saying..

your first map seems to suggest that Islam (or the Umayyad Empire?) spread from Spain? neither of course is true, so what have you been thinking? what are you doing? who makes these films? as usual, the commentary is idées reçues only, hardly any information on the objects and those who made them. I am shocked. also the orientalist music is quite annoying.

beautiful collections ...hehehe terrible narrative ..

Now return the artifacts to their original nationals
