Islamic Art in Iranian Painting

By *Istam* we mean the religion preached by the Prophet of Islam - Muhammad - in the A.D. 600s. Muhammad was an Arab who was bom in Mecca about 570. He was a son of the noble parents - 'Abdullah and Aaminah. He believed he had been sent by Allah to warn and guide his people and to call them to worship only One God (Allah). Muhammad, preached that there is only One God and that he (Muhammad) was God's messenger. Those who believe in the One God and accept Muhammad as His messenger are called 'Muslim's. The word "Muslim" is an Arabic word that means 'One who submits to God (Allah). 'Islam^ is an Arabic term equivalent to "submission".' The Western scholars often call Islam as 'Muhammadanism' and its followers 'Muhamamdans', which is incorrect, because Muslims feel that these terms (Muhammadanism and Muhamadans) give the wrong impression that Muslims worship Muhammad. But, in reality Muslims believe in Tawhid (Unity of God) and they do not worship anything except 'Allah'.
