    Lesson 2 - 2 Islamic Colonial

    Uploaded by

    Phoebe Jane
    Islam had a significant influence on art in the Southern Philippines before Spanish colonization. When Sayyid Abbubakar of Arabia married Princess Piramisuli and introduced Islam, it became embraced as a religion and way of life by ethnic groups in Mindanao. Islamic art emphasizes the unity of God and impermanence of nature through repetitive, abstract forms and patterns that compel contemplation of the divine. Architecture features domes, mosques oriented toward Mecca, and gardens evoking paradise. Philippine Muslim art avoids depicting nature to reject idolatry, seen in flowing okir designs and motifs derived from the tree of life.

    ISLAMIC COLONIAL PERIOD
    13TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT
    How did Islam influence art before the coming of
    Spanish Colonizers?
     Islam was already well-entrenched in Southern Philippines where it is dominant
    and strong.
     It gained significant grounding in Sulu as 13 th century.
     Itwas the arrival of Sayyid Abbubakar of Arabia who married Princess Piramisuli,
    daughter of Rajah Baguinda that led to significant turn of events.
     Abbubakar succeeded the Sultanate of Sulu after the death of his father-in-law, he
    introduces the Quran, build house of prayer and even a religious school known as
    madrasa that facilitated the teaching of Arabic writing.
     Natives from Zamboanga, Yakans from Basilan with teachers from Jolo, Sulu and
    other practitioners from Brunei were converted to Islam.
     Islamwas embraced as a religion and as a way of life in Mindanao which includes
    Tausug, Maranao, Maguindanao, Yakan, Samal, Badjao as well as some areas in
    Palawan.
    Influence of Islam on how art is made and interpreted:
     Filipino Muslims belong to an ummah.
     Central to Islamic faith is the doctrine of Tawhid or unity to God.
     This belief emphasizes the impermanence of nature and the
    incomprehensible greatness of the divine Being.
     Mosques are covered with elaborate patterning in the form of
    reliefs-means toward the contemplation of the Divine.
     In Islam, divine unity is expressed through abstract forms and
    patterns to compel the believer to engage in mental concentration.
    Architecture
     Mihrab or niche and the Qibla- are oriented toward the West
     Bulbous dome- tells us about how the order of the universe is imagined.
    It also relates to “all level of cosmic existence”. The octagonal base
    symbolizes the spirit, while the four sided main base refers to the earth
    or material world.
     Ka’bah- a black shrine believed by prophet Muhammad. It’s the
    reference point of the Qiblah- the direction Muslim faced when praying.
     An area for water supply- a fountain, for ablution or cleansing before
    one enters the Mosque.
     Gardens within the Mosque/ outside home- evocative of paradise.
    Art of Philippine Muslim
     Islam rejects the copying of images in nature, apparent in the
    curvilinear and flowing forms of ukkil/ okir.
     Luhul or canopy- features motifs from the tree of life.
     The forms are so repetitive and elaborate that distract us from the
    actual natural elements from which they are derived.
     Sakili observed that many of the Islamic forms are inclined to
    project, grow, or an upward orientation in tune with the regard of
    heaven to veer from “material earth”, (Eg. Panolong-torogan,
    sarimanok, burraq- a horse with the head of a woman, a figure that
    carry the Prophet in his ascension to heaven.)
