| New Book, "When love for the Prophet becomes art" |
TURKEY - In connection with a pioneering exhibition having taken place in Rome last October, a book was published in Turkey about the spiritual meaning of two great Islamic traditions: Hilye-i Serif (a form of classic calligraphy used to portray Prophet Muhammad) and the use of Tesbih, the rosary used for praying in the Muslim tradition. The book, whose title is "When love for the Prophet becomes art" is promoted on Islam-oriented daily newspaper Zaman website and is aimed at celebrating Rome's exhibition on examples of classic and contemporary Turkish art: indeed, on the exhibition's occasion a collection of Hilye-i Serif was exhibited in Europe for the first time. The book is available in English, Turkish and Italian at the publishing house Matbaacilik, based in the Kagithane district of Istanbul. [
