Matching the thought of sacred geometry with the geometric pattern of the divine spider web Case study of the school al-Attarin Mosque: Fez, Morocco

In the geometry of Islamic motifs, proportions derived from nature can be observed. These geometric proportions are subject to abstract and supernatural principles, with the belief in the sacredness of their subject matter, and are considered to have a symbolic language. Hence, they are called sacred geometry. This research is descriptive-analytical, which examines the thought of sacred geometry and the symbology of the role of the divine spider web, common in the architectural decorations of the city of Fez in Morocco. The findings indicate that geometry, in relation to essence and nature, refers to the righteousness of God's justice in creating the universe based on the "destiny" and inherent merit and limits of objects and phenomena. The limit of everything is represented as the essence and form of everything according to geometric patterns. In Islamic art, form is the carrier of eternal monotheistic truths and is crystallized in the field of visual imagination in geometric crystalline forms. The dot, triangle, circle, and square are the most important geometric symbols in Islamic culture and art. The geometric pattern of the spider's web, also called the rose decoration, is a decoder of the symbolic form of objects and beings in the natural world.
