Paradise Found: A Documentary on Islamic Architecture and Art

    Actually it’s neither Arabic nor Indian… it’s Islamic. Islamic architecture came to existence after Islam started spreading thoughout the world. The Arabs didn’t have these dome shaped structures before Islam. Islamic architecture reflects the description of heaven in the holy Qur’an.
