Geometry plays an essential role in Islamic architecture, as it is seen as evidence of the harmonious nature of the universe as created by God. The use of geometric patterns in Islamic architecture is often seen in the intricate tile designs and the repetition of shapes, such as the use of the star and hexagon. These shapes are formed using a compass and ruler, which allowed for exact and precise measurements. Additionally, the integration of geometry is used to create a sense of balance and proportion in Islamic architecture, reflecting the order and balance that exists within the natural world. Overall, geometry plays a significant role in Islamic architecture, serving both a functional and decorative purpose.
