Islamic architecture (the architecture of mosques in particular) is considered as one of the greatest arts of architecture produced by major civilizations because it is a comprehensive architecture that has been produced by many styles for many regions, starting with the first Islamic style that represents the Great Mosque (Mosque of Master of Beings, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) followed by Al-Yaman and Al-Kufa Mosques, then the architectural styles that come after that. In total, these styles are considered as the prayer beads that constitute the architecture of the Islamic mosques. The view of the Islamic human civilization has made it a global civilization, unique from the rest of the civilizations.
