respond to the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the
basis of your response:
·
Describe the main purpose of the
Hajj in the Muslim faith, and identify two (2) specific aspects of the Hajj
that you find fascinating or significant. Next, explain the association between
Muhammad and the area of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Lastly, describe
the sacred art of Islam’s key qualities, and explain the fundamental reasons
why Muslim artists of sacred works are reluctant to include images of humans
(i.e., at least in sacred areas). Think of a place of worship (of any religion)
today, and explain which type of artistic tradition would be more conducive to
worship: Byzantine art (Chapter 8), Hindu art (Chapter 7), or Muslim art
(Chapter 9).
