Pattern Repetition

Islamic calligraphy or repetitive pattern that is often seen in a Mosque is quite a common thing in the country where I grew up. Most houses in Indonesia have one or more Islamic calligraphy, given the fact that the dominant religion in Indonesia is Islam. Usually, an Islamic art contains three elements that symbolize the Holiness of Allah, the Holy God. The writing technique or the typography, known as calligraphy, is usually done in Arabic, because it's taken from Al-Quran, which is written exclusively in Arabic. In terms of pattern repetition, they use a geometrical design that uses a number of geometric shapes such as squares, which is identical with experience in heaven. The stars are also frequently used to symbolize equal radiation in all directions from a central point. Another signs that are often used is the Crescent and Start, which is usually located on tope of a Mosque's dome.
