Summary/Abstract: Geometry in Islamic art – particularly in sacred architecture – represents a visual expression of divine unity and cosmic order. This paper explores geometry as a spiritual and epistemological language within Islamic architecture. Grounded in the concept of tawḥīd as the core idea of unity in Islam, the analysis focuses on how geometric principles such as symmetry, rhythm, and infinite repetition shape spaces that invite tranquility and contemplation and how aesthetic form of geometric elements becomes a symbolic expression of spirituality.
