_A Mosque Between Significance and Style

Description

The meaning and interpretation of the inscriptions on a mosque in North America provide some insights into the concomitant qualities of belief, order, space, and form. Mosque inscriptions reveal the American Muslim community’s concern with the expressive nuances of Islamic art and architecture, for this community has long recognized that the extreme stylistic characteristics of an inscription—except with little variation—can be expressed in any medium.
