The Taste of Europe in the Glory of Islam Republika

It is wrong if there are people who think Muslims do not care about the environment. Also if they think the Islamic community does not understand aesthetics or beauty. See what Muslims have done centuries ago. Obviously, Muslims have a very high aesthetic understanding and taste .

If today, many cities in Islamic countries that look shabby and chaotic, not so with the urban atmosphere of Muslims in about 10 centuries ago. In the heyday of Islam, the cities of Islam look beautiful and orderly. In the eyes of John William Draper in his book, History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science, the beauty of Islamic cities is even less than the cities in Europe today.

"Today's European cities offer no more taste, beauty, and luxury, as it once was in Spanish cities," he said.

In his book, Draper describes the atmosphere of Cordoba, one of the Muslim cities in Spain. In the 10th century, the streets of Cordoba so smooth and studded with light at night. The houses appear luxuriously decorated with paintings, with tapestry-covered floors. cold, the residents will not be cold because every house is equipped with a fireplace.

Similarly in the summer, they do not swelter. In contrast, the home atmosphere remains cool with the scent of fragrances that come from the flower garden.Draper also said that almost every house in Cordoba has a library, large dining room, bathroom, and fountain.
