THE ISLAMIC EXPRESSION OF BEAUTY
The absence of images in mosques has two purposes. One is negative, namely, that of eliminating a ‘presence’ which might set itself up against the Presence—albeit invisible—of God, and which might in addition become a source of error because of the imperfection of all symbols; the other and positive purpose is that of affirming the transcendence of God, since the Divine Essence cannot be compared with anything whatsoever.
