Islamic civilization in West Asia, encompassing Iran, Iraq, Syria, Armenia, and Afghanistan, experienced significant advancements in science, culture, and architecture during this time. These structures, often recognized as religious symbols, played a pivotal role in the development of scientific methods for timekeeping and spatial orientation, reflecting a dynamic interaction between architectural innovation and societal needs.
