Muqarnas titles in Islamic art with the mother of arts   : 

Muqarnas art  combines the arts of building, construction, sculpture, painting, calligraphy and decoration. The names of the stalactites varied.

The surface without leaving any gaps and the last way to hang muqarnas. After the decorative ceiling panel is assembled, these panels are laid on the ground and then fixed to the architectural structure.

Muqarnas were created in Islamic civilization   for specific functions, and their functions are manifested in two aspects:

Architectural features: It helps to reduce the mass throughout the building as the muqarnas divide the mass into small parts that depend on each other, which leads to the distribution of the mass in many points due to the precision of the geometry. Composition in staggered rows, eg b. It allows a flat surface to meet and blend with curved surfaces, which is often used, for example, to transform a room from square to octagon and then to a rotunda, or to transform one surface into other niches or arches of minarets.
