Abstract. Due to the importance of symbols in Islamic architecture, their special place in human life, this study aims to investigate the sacred geometry in Islamic Architecture. Descriptive- analytic method has been used and data collection was done through field research. According to the great thinkers such as Seyyed Hussein Naser the origin of Islamic art is in the esoteric dimension of Islam. The results also suggested that Symbolism is a factor which transfers the meanings of upper-world to the material-world.
