Water belongs to our most profound dreams: it evokes motherhood,
cleanliness, purity, sensuality, and death. Naturally, this is true
for every civilisation, but in Islam this series of ideas found its
most profound meaning, turning water into one of the cornerstones
of human existence: a cornerstone that is both spiritual as well as
social and aesthetic. Statements in the Koran and subsequent
literature illustrate the historic development of the many roles
and meanings of water and the incarnation of its significance in
Islamic art and craftsmanship. This volume tells a story through
images, artefacts, books, and miniatures: technology, everyday
life, and art, which for centuries mirrored one another in the many
ways of enjoying and using water.
