Many art historians believe that Muslim architecture is among the finest ever created. The architecture includes intricate inlays and reliefs depicting stylized typography and floral designs. Much Muslim art consists of stylized Arabic typography, in other words, the script used in writing. Some western religious art during the Renaissance was created by Muslim craftsmen and includes "hidden" Arabic script quoting the Quran. Although many Muslims believe that depiction of human beings is forbidden by the Quran, art from the Ottoman period includes the human face and form.
