metadata.value: Contemporary scholars regularly made attempts to explore the iconography of the mosque and
  to reveal the symbolism of its planning and structural elements. One can notice the difference
  in tasks and approaches to research. Analysis of scientific publications shows that authors
  from Muslim countries accent primarily the “spiritual component” ignoring the architectural
  realities; at the same time many of European (and Russian) scientists routinely build on
  specific monuments, mistakenly following the practice of analyzing the temple architecture.
  Thus, one group of scientists explores the “idea of a mosque” in isolation from architecture,
  while the other studies concrete constructions ignoring their religious component. The lack
  of religious norms and the ability of mosque architecture to transform force the author of
  the article to raise the question: what is predetermined by the establishment of Islam in
  the building of a mosque as a religious object, and what should be perceived as an optional
  reflection of influences not related to religious practice? The article demonstrates that the
  entire architectural body of a mosque can be regarded as an interpretation of factors external
  to religious doctrines.
