This film concentrates on the arts of architecture and abstract decoration, and shows how, from an Islamic point of view, these are approached and understood. Other sequences show the arts of calligraphy and painting, and the film ends with the art of three great cultures which flourished at the same moment three centuries ago: Saffavid Iran, Ottoman Turkey, and Mughal India all produced magnificent buildings which, in widely different ways, are profoundly Islamic.
