By viewing the spiritual issues and art philosophy, investigating  Fotowatnameh  shows  that  one of the  grounds of   human's spiritual  growth  is craft and artistry. This study with descriptive-analytic method has aimed to show what theoretical and practical strategies are for this spiritual conduct.  In the first  type  of corporatism Fotowatnameh,  teachings  and  concepts related to  each craft  have been  mentioned  and  knowing them  are  emphasized.  These  teachings  are  so  important that, in some  Fotowatnameh,  knowing them   is the  condition of  beginning  the  job. Then,  practical  strategies  have been  presented  to  direct   an artist  and artificer  toward  conduct  in the  ethics.  Some of them  are   recommended  before  beginning  the  job  and  craft, and  others are advised  within each stage  of  craft  and  ,in many  cases,  there is close relation between  craft and   strategies.

This Article, by an analytic- comparative method, seeks some relevance between Al- Farabi's theory of Art- Beauty, and his ancestors at Pre- Islamic time. According to the famous theory, which is common in Islamic history books, Al-Farabi is the founder of Islamic Philosophy. He is a divine and theological philosopher who steps in the traditional way that some famous thinker- Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus- organized it. But Al-Farabi explains this legacy with Islamic content. In fact, he evaluates this legacy and also tries to mix Greek- philosophical and Divine- Islamic content, and establishes a new philosophy which finally called Islamic philosophy. If we consider his Artistic view, he says that everything in the creature world is a semiotic of its Beautiful Creator, and somebody has a natural talent that can be moved from faculty to act with exercise, and will be effective in creation of beauty and art. In Al-Farabi's theory, art and artist must help their audiences to know their eternal Paradise and motivate toward it.

Praying God is intrinsic in man’s nature and has been interwoven into the fabric of all cultures throughout history. The theme of prayer manifested in the artworks like Persian paintings. Along with depicting literary, epical, and historical themes Persian paintings show religious themes including worshiping God and prayer. Thus, applying a descriptive- analytic study, we aim to review the issue in some selected paintings of Tabriz School I&II. Our study would reveal how Persian painters synthesized spiritual cultural heritage with various techniques of human figures and images of the angles, as well as spiral and colored compositions to visualize the theme. Through this way, the painters reach a climax in expressing their aesthetic perception of prayer in their works

responsibility of the Humor ethic's knowledge branch. Major works in humor ethics focus on two main issues in the field of humorous outcomes: Racist Humor and Sexist Humor. In this article, we are going to analyze the Racist Humor and Sexist Humor based on the Islamic ethical system.

From the findings of this study, the immortality of Racist and Sexist Humors can be attributed to their escape liability.

One of the ways of expressing facts that are common and intelligible use to the general is the allegoric and symbol. One of these allegoric is the light. In the pre-Islamic Iranian tradition, light has had a special place among the mystics and theosophies of Fahlavi. In the post-Islamic tradition also, It has been the same. Because God is the light of heaven and earth, and A Surah is referred to as the Light. Accordingly, Suhrawardi constructs his illuminated philosophy on the basis of light, and he places the series and gradation of divine lights form the light of lights to the dusky world gradationally. In the illuminated perspective, Farah as the divine confirmation and the divine illumination gradationally in the material world contains plants to full human (al-Insān al-Kāmil). Iranian artist, both before and after Islam, as they work in this space, they know this and try to show. One of the most suitable places for expressing the illuminations and divine Farah is miniature that show it around the head of humans or the Saints. The expression of holy aura and aura of luminous has been researched, but its illuminated and symbolic expression independently has been less studied. In this research, we try to express at first the illuminated expression of holy aura and In the following adapt it to the miniature

It is consistently an essential thing to reread ancient texts of Persian language and literature whether as respecting to this country literature or as a discourse relationship and meaning reforming to readers. Literature is a full reflection of art, culture, and civilization of this country. Architecture has such status as well.

In other words, the process of human being's trip from the origin, i.  e. paradise towards material world, and then, to reach to the last destination and eternal life, creation of human being, his soul journey, it's positioning to the body, similes and allegories related to above mentioned cases have been discussed in this mystic writing. Similarly, pretty and unique allegories and metaphors have been applied by architectural factors and structures (e.g. house, building, villa,...) which indicates a combination of Literature and architecture by expressing the most beautiful  mystical concepts.
