part-1 By: M.Tariq
Assistant Professor

4. Design features
Trees: Fruit trees (citrus,
pomegranate) for shade and food,
cypress trees for their symbolic
meaning (longevity, connection to
the divine).
Flowers: Roses, jasmine, lilies, for
fragrance and beauty. Define
walkways and boundaries, offering
privacy and structure.
Pavilions: structures for relaxation,
contemplation, or social gatherings.
• The Muslims were primarily a
small cluster of Arab traders
and urban merchants in
Mecca and Medina, with little
or no farming experience.
• In the mid-seventh century,
the Muslim armies, led by the
Umayyads (661–750), the first
hereditary dynasty in Islam,
conquered the lands that are
today known as Syria, Jordan,
Israel, Palestine, Lebanon,
Iraq, and most of Iran.

5. qanat
A qanat or kārīz is a system for transporting water from
an aquifer or water well to the surface, through an
underground aqueduct; the system originated
approximately 3,000 years ago in Iran

6. Quadrilateral shape
● One of the hallmarks of Islamic gardens
is the four-part garden laid out with
axial walkways that intersect in the
garden center. This highly structured
geometrical scheme, called the chahar
bagh, became a powerful metaphor for
the organization and domestication of
the landscape, itself a symbol of
political territory
