Islamic Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Qu'ran has many references to gardens and the garden is used as an earthly analogue for the life in paradise which is promised to believers.
Allah has promised to the believing men and the believing women gardens, beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them, and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetual abode; and best of all is Allah's goodly pleasure; that is the grand achievement (Qu'ran 9.72)
There are surviving Islamic gardens in a wide zone extending from Spain and Morocco in the west to India in the east.
