An Ontological Analysis of the Relationship between Qur'ān and Art
Abstract
Qur'ān as the most important Islamic document is the eternal miracle of the Prophet of Islam. Being the word of the all-Wise God, this Heavenly book was revealed in the most beautiful form, just as the world has been created in the best possible way. On the other hand, the man who is the addressee of Qur'ān loves it because he innately loves beauty. He, therefore, dedicates his best arts to Qur'ān. The present analytical study aimed to introduce the arts created and developed for Qur'ān and to investigate the reason for their development from ontological point of view. Recitation, inscription, and illumination are considered the most important arts of Qur'ān, which have been developed due to the beauty of Qur'ān. The results indicated that both religious information has encouraged the artistic behavior of the human towards Qur'ān and his rational perceptions have emphasized it.
