“…Drought and water shortage are the most prominent environmental characteristics. Water is the dominant element in all aspects of life [25]. It is impossible to have a dense vegetation cover, diversity of the animal world and human activity, or agriculture or urban development without the availability of sufficient water [8].…”

“…With the rapid urban development in the countries of the Islamic East, most of these facilities are located in the green "heart of the city". Thus, they have become public recreation areas for the residents of crowded cities now [25]. If the gardens of Islam have a tradition that extends for many centuries embody the coexistence of spirit, art, and culture, in today's rational world they have acquired an additional advantage and an almost unfamiliar function, which is their transformation into "green lungs" in densely populated metropolitan areas.…”

This research aims to shed light on the advanced thinking behind the design of gardens in the islamic world and their architectural elements, the series of historical developments of gardens throughout history, and their religious and environmental dimensions. This research depends on a comparative study method based on historical and analytical studies. This research concluded to confirm the originality and uniqueness of gardens in islamic societies, a long chain of development at the level of formations and architectural elements. The various elements did not appear suddenly but were the result of a long chain of different experiences, which gradually increased their levels of development and from one society to another until they reached their highest levels in the mughal period, which confirms the false claim of many orientalist researchers that the designers in Indian islamic societies copied and stole the achievements of other civilizations. Analyses and comparisons have shown that it is a purely islamic product through the attempt of these societies apparently to depict the rivers of paradise the four. The study recommended that there is a need to pay attention to the field of garden design and greenery by higher education institutions and architecture colleges.

“…Visibility analysis conducted in numerous studies of mosque architecture on its relationship to social and emotional responses is a criterion for establishing an effective relationship between visual comfort and typo-morphological design. Among the most effective social receptive parameters examined in multiple studies were visual integration and visual entropy, calmness and serenity [24][25][26][27], individual soul [28], sense of place [29,30], oneness and unity, impressiveness and stimulation [31], psychological perception [8,32,33], and indoor visual comfort [34].…”

One of the essential needs of humans that is influenced by architectural geometry is visibility in indoor areas. Prayer hall geometry dominates the mosque typology and morphology. The spatial–volumetric shapes of interior prayer halls affect worshipers’ visual comfort and spirituality. In this study, a new integrative framework is developed to quantitatively describe various mosque typo-morphologies affecting the visual comfort of worshipers, including spaciousness and consciousness, to obtain prayer hall typo-morphological patterns that may provide higher levels of visual comfort. Spatial and volumetric metrics from various prayer hall vantage points are used in this study. A two-dimensional isovist (VGA) map in depthmapX.10 collects spatial metrics, while the grasshopper script in Rhinoceros-7 collects 3D isovist volumetric metrics. The findings confirm the feasibility of creating a prominent area in barrier-free mosque layout designs centered on a central domed roof form.
