The urge to create beauty in one’s surroundings is a human characteristic but, in many cases, it is also a reflection of religious beliefs. Islamic tradition includes historic gardens built as a result of the Koran’s teachings and as a reaction to the arid conditions where Islam first began.
The Islamic garden design of ancient civilizations such as Persia, Turkey, Asia, India, Egypt and Morocco is still seen in many of the large palaces and archaeological sites around Turkey. Elements of these gardens can be incorporated into your modern Turkish garden. The lack of water and pressing sun, wind and heat that helped create the ancient Islamic gardens can still be useful today. Walled gardens filled with trees, water features, fruits and flowers are the answer. Many villas already have walled gardens.
Water was not only life but also a symbol of wealth and prosperity in ancient Islam. The dry locations of many of the practitioners of the religion meant water was a valuable commodity. Gardens with waterways and features dominated the theme and not only created an oasis of calm, but also watered the plants and cooled the surrounding air.
The Islamic garden is usually designed in quarters, the land is divided into squares by channels of water. Ideally, Islam garden paradise was found in each square no matter how large or small.
Four represents the four directions and four elements. Also in Islam, four rivers of water, milk, honey and wine are mentioned.
