• Islamic is characterized by Geometric designs
and patter selecting focus from the believers.
Even before the coming of Spanish colonizer,
Islam was already well entrenched in southern
Philippines.
• Filipino Muslim recognize that they belong to an
ummah or a community of believers.
• Central to the Islamic faith is the doctrine of or
unity of God this belief emphasizes the
impermanence of nature and the
incomprehensible greatness of the divine being.

4. • In Islamic art we can observed how artist
are influenced by the notion of the
tawhid, we will find that the interior of
mosques are covered with elaborate
patterning in the form of reliefs to draw
the attention away from concrete object,
in other words away from human forms
and nature “toward the contemplation of
the divine”
