Page "Aesthetics" Paragraph 7

Islamic art does not pertain to religion only.

The term " Islamic " refers not only to the religion, but to any form of art created in an Islamic culture or in an Islamic context.

Not all Muslims are in agreement on the use of art in religious observance, the proper place of art in society, or the relation between secular art and the demands placed on the secular world to conform to religious precepts.

Islamic art frequently adopts secular elements and elements that are frowned upon, if not forbidden, by some Islamic theologians.
