Arab art has its own clear, established character, defining its features and aspects, and it has its own history and characteristics, despite its influence in its early stages by the arts of some neighboring nations, such as the Persians and Romans. However, it soon took on a purely Arab character and flourished as an authentic Arab art, distinguished by any expert eye. Concerning this, the French scientist Gustave Le Bon says: "It is enough for a person to take a look at one of the buildings that were erected in a prestigious role in Arab civilization, whether it was a mosque or a palace, to be certain that This building is Arab, and he does not see any apparent connection with another nation. The creativity in Arab art is clear, and other countries have inherited their art from the Arabs."
This book takes a quick look at the industrial arts for which the Arabs are famous, then presents Islamic architecture, its mosques, cities, and palaces. Then he concluded the book with a chapter on music and singing among the Arabs.
