Religious iconography

The Asian continent is the cradle of all universal religions and also preserves countless other indigenous religious forms. Some forbid the representation of the Absolute, and others believe it has no form and can therefore be represented in any form. Religions are thus the source of most of humanity’s art and its main architectural monuments.

Aniconism in Islam

Among the monotheist religions, Judaism and Islam refuse to represent God, in application of the third of the Ten Commandments given to Moses. He is therefore worshipped without images, the believers recite prayers simply turned towards Jerusalem or Mecca, whether in a synagogue, a mosque or at home.
