The Hidden Art of Islam

The Hidden Art of Islam takes viewers on a journey through the rich visual culture of the Islamic world, where depictions of God and the Prophet Muhammad are prohibited. Instead, calligraphy, Arabesque floral designs, and geometry have become the foundation of Islamic art, as seen in mosques, the Koran, and other religious contexts. Host Rageh Omaar, with the help of experts in fine art and religion, explores how these beliefs have shaped art and artists over the centuries and why depictions of pilgrims participating in the Hajj pilgrimage have become accepted in Islamic art.
