The Architecture of Isfahan.
"Isfahan is one of ten cities designated by UNESCO as a universal heritage. It contains a wide range of Islamic Architectural styles ranging from the 11th century (C.E.) to the 19th." This exhibition, prepared by Thomas Rochford, features many images with individual sections dedicated to fundamental concepts, mosques and shrines, minarets, palaces and bridges, and other places of interest. The Architecture of Isfahan is a 1995 GNN Best of the Net nominee.

The Islamic Texts and Resources Metapage
Located at the University of Buffalo, this site includes an introductory section followed by sections dedicated to scriptures and prophetic traditions, Islamic thought, and language and art resources. It is "an attempt to provide a 'springboard' for exploring texts and resources on Islam and Islamic thought, ideas, and related issues."

Sufism: Taking up the Path to Divine Presence
The Haqqani Foundation presents a special exhibition on Islamic mysticism. Sufism encourages peace with oneself and with one's fellow human beings. "The Sufis say, 'If human beings knew their own inner secrets, never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness, peace and inner light.' Therefore the essence of the Path is to find oneself. 'Know thyself, know thy Lord!' is an imperative of the Sufi Way." The Haqqani Foundation is dedicated to spreading "the Sufi teachings of the brotherhood of mankind and the Unity of belief in God that is present in all religions and spiritual paths. Its efforts are directed at bringing the diverse spectrum of religions and spiritual paths into harmony and concord, in recognition of mankind's responsibility as caretaker of this fragile planet and of one another."
