        Islamic architecture is a recurring term in research on Islamic art and civilization. A wide range of works made in the Islamic world has been named with this word and scholars have tried to define and mention its features, in which, there is almost no relationship between Islam as a divine religion and architecture, and only the characteristics of buildings are mentioned. In this research, came to light by descriptive-analytical study method based on gathering of information in the library, after the analyses of the definitions of Islamic architecture, two questions are asked about it: what it is and when did this form of architecture begin and end. Therefore, based on the inference from Quranic verses and religious doctrine, Islamic architecture refers to a type of architecture that, rather than seeking a specific shape and form, should help Muslims to achieve perfection and the ultimate goal of human creation, which is to worship God. This kind of architecture started at the same time with the mission of the Holy Prophet “PBUH” and will continue until the end and will not be limited to a specific region and a specific time.
