Abstract

In our study of the art of manuscript illustrations, we note the multiplicity of aspects of the illustrated subjects, there are scientific, literary, historical and religious subjects. However, what we possess of manuscripts depicting religious scenes remain in many museums around the world now revealed to us a lot about manuscripts that dealt with religious subjects during the Islamic era, so we find some examples of manuscripts Religious figures include pictures of sacred figures, such as the manuscript “Jami al-Tawarikh” by Rashid al-Din Fadl al-Hamadhani in the 8th century AH/14th century AD, which is preserved in the Edinburgh Library in Scotland. And the Shi’ite, as well as the depiction of prophets and messengers in historical books as well as in religious stories, and this was accomplished at the request of senior rulers and powerful ones; This assures us that Islamic photography tended to depict the stories of the prophets as a way to spread ethics and cultural awareness or as a historical account of events, especially that these manuscripts were for state leaders and not for public figures; When focusing on the story of Moses and its development during the stages of photography in Islamic art, we note that the selected topics are the topics that were focused on in the Holy Qur’an, with the introduction of some new scenes also mentioned in the Old Testament (the Torah) and dyed them in an Islamic color, after the 8th century AH/14 AD,
