Artifacts, ritual items, and home decor in Muslim communities do not contain portraits. They most certainly contain no icons (depictions of sacred persons). To depict Allah invites worship of the image and not Allah himself. Art in the Islamic community is based upon patterns, language, and geometric design. They are beautiful and intricate. Art in the Middle East is often composed of mosaic tile. This plate is depicting of Sharia Law.

General information regarding Islam:

Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion teaching that there is only one God (Allah), and that Muhammad is the messenger of God.  It is the world's second-largest religion with over 1.9 billion followers or 24.4% of the world's population, commonly known as Muslims. Muslims make up a majority of the population in 50 countries. Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, and unique, and has guided mankind through prophets, revealed scriptures, and natural signs. The primary scriptures of Islam are the Quran, believed to be the verbatim word of God, and the teachings and normative examples (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570 – 8 June 632 CE).
​
Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets including Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and the Quran, in its Arabic, to be the unaltered and final revelation of God. Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam also teaches a final judgment with the righteous rewarded in paradise and unrighteous punished in hell.  Religious concepts and practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are obligatory acts of worship. The cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem are home to the three holiest sites in Islam.
