Description
The historical evidence presented in this section of the book is irrefutable, demonstrating that the approach of Muslim conquerors at the dawn of Islam did not involve the destruction and demolition of visual and figurative artworks in the newly conquered territories. Many of these artistic creations remained intact for several centuries after the conquest, and even if instances of destruction occurred later, it was often due to negligence, oversight, or the misconduct of subsequent rulers rather than religious bias or zeal among the Muslims. The narrative underscores the nuanced and complex historical context surrounding the preservation of visual art in the early Islamic period, challenging preconceived notions and providing a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Islam and artistic heritage.
