Funun-ul-Quran comprises a wide range of subjects these are solely concerned with the decorative arts related to al Quran.Quranic arts provide the primary means of artistic expression, in contrast to Western art, in which painting and sculpture are preeminent.

Illuminated manuscripts, woven textiles and carpets, blown glass, glazed ceramics,and carved wood and stone all absorbed the creative energies of artists, becoming highly developed art forms.

Such objects were meticulously fabricated and carefully embellished, often with rare and costly materials, suggesting that the people for whom they were made sought to surround themselves with beauty.
