Some Muslims view "art" as blasphemy. So there are many restrictions, such as not listening to music, no wearing brightly colored clothes, not reading books other than those dealing with the Quran, etc.
But some Muslims appreciate art, such as various forms of Islamic architecture, paintings, calligraphy, music, and literature, because they view them as manifestations of the greatness of God.
It can feel like humans try to set up so many rules that the beauty of art is lost. God is an artist, a very great artist. His works of art show His glory and mirror His greatness.
The Lord will save me, so we will sing with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord. Isaiah 38:20
Those of us who have been saved sing praises to God freely, but many Muslim brothers and sisters are still imprisoned in their culture and have not yet experienced salvation.
Prayer Request
Pray that God will liberate our Muslim brothers and sisters with true freedom to worship Him. Pray that the beauty in art will lead them to understand our mighty and praise-worthy God.
