Here, what remains a main question today is now that among the greatest immortal literary and art works that become globally significant due to their facilitation power in conveying meaning, massage, and medium displaying speed, then why religious teachings get a very low share in this respect? Although, in the past, using media and art was less possible, art was used more by Islamic scholars so that the oldest and most valuable religious and historical works within Islamic territories have survived for the sake of their mingling with art. Noticing that the use of artistic tools depends on the creator of artistic works who can use them in any way he or she desires, visual arts, literature, and all media are capable of being utilized to boost spiritual life, revival of nature, and spiritual wisdom and truth.
