“Geometry” or: “The Composite and Truthful Set of Divine Geometries”: The “Foundation and Essence” of All Forms and Dimensions of Art—Engineering, Architecture, and Their Related Works—within the Knowledge-Based and Rational Culture of Islam

The essence and core of existence—whether in the noble Endeavor of engineering the spiritual structure of being, or in the rational, scientific, and practical operations of
life—has always been, and will remain, founded upon geometry (hendeseh) and
measure (qadr). To assert otherwise would be unfounded. In Islamic wisdom, Allah is understood as the Absolute Knowledge, Wisdom, Living Intellect, and Will rooted in truth. He is the unifier of sciences and technologies within a higher order of Unity, the ultimate Divine Engineer (al-Muqaddir). In this sense, Geometry and Measure are not external categories but the very manifestation of Allah Himself—the Absolute Geometry, the Absolute Measure. A narration from Imam al-Ridā (peace be upon him) confirms this perspective: the first & fundamental creation of God was al-Taqdīr—the primordial act of determination and measurement. This act provided the very foundation for continuous divine engineering: the ever-renewed production of ordered geometries, the emergence of value-based composite realities, and the ceaseless renewal of creation itself. The Imam further taught that the first knowledge imparted to humanity was the “Knowledge of the Book”. This does not refer simply to scripture but to the science of composition: the knowledge of how rational and scientific basic truths are combined, synthesized, and structured into divine – alive - meanings & meaningful forms. It is the foundation of all forms of order and the root of the infinite “books” of existence—composite realities governed by divine rational principles. This insight resonates with the divine declaration: “The Rahmān [: The womb like "Rahman" Allah, who is the Absolute Knowledge, Wisdom, Living Intellect, and the unifier of divine powers & technologies &, sciences for instance: the knowledge of creation meaningful  active - dynamic – words,] taught al-Qur’ān.” Here, Qur’ān must be understood not merely as a text, but: as the knowledge of creativity itself—the synthesis of meanings into harmonious, composite forms of valuable - beauties, perfection, and truth, and the creation of dynamic living - words (: concept prophets). The Rahmān is described as womb-like: The womb like & quot;Rahman", encompassing in relation with the existence, basic -anatomical - part and whole. Alive and intelligent, embryo - like and being provided by the womb, forever in bloom, growth. This metaphor emphasizes that his essential function is rahmāniyya: the nurturing, creating, sustaining, and perfecting of His creatures. Just as an embryo flourish within the womb, so too the human being—embryo-like in intellect and essence—is inseparable from the mercy of the Rahman.
In this framework, humanity is created as a divine exemplar: a God-like being endowed with the creative faculty of speech, the ability to generate living words as dynamic vessels of meaning. This human creative power mirrors the divine act of word-creation, the articulation of truth in resonant, meaningful, and life-giving forms.
To equip humanity for this role, God taught the knowledge of bayan—the knowledge of His Supreme Name, an essential awareness of His essence, and a detailed
understanding of His live - attributes. Through this, the human being becomes truly human, attaining humanity as a dual existence—spiritual and material, heavenly and earthly. In sustaining his humanity through dynamic activity and intellect, man is capable of knowing all things.
