Explaining and Adapting the Illuminative View of Beauty in Accordance
with the Teachings of the Qur’an
(With emphasis on Mons al-Ishaq Suhrawardi’s treatise)*
Shahabuddin Suhrawardi is the founder of Nuria and Ishraqi Wisdom, a wisdom that Suhrawardi has used in a new direction by utilizing the rich resources of Islam and especially the Holy Quran. Suhrawardi, with his illuminating explanation of light and its revision in Ramsey’s treatise on Mons al-Ishaq, attributes the fulfillment of plurality in the realms of being to the threefold thing of goodness, affliction, and love. Based on the truth of Hassan (the central issue of aesthetics) in the Qur’an, he achieves an illuminating explanation of beauty in his illuminative wisdom and solidarity with knowledge. This study attempts to elucidate the concept of aesthetics in Mons al-Ishaq and recite the codes of sorrow and love in the illuminated cosmology system as aesthetic axes in Mons al-Ishaq and to apply the same passages in the Qur’anic verse, so that the link between truth and art can be revealed. To this end, evidence is given of exemplary works of art in Islamic art. It should be noted that all of the illustrations were taken from the magnificent Iranian works by Farir Gallery of New York.
