Abstract

Transcendence gradualness to the highest heavens, guidance, and protection from misguidance are the specific content of the idea of the minaret and its formation which is agreed upon in the symbolism of heritage minarets and the symbolism of contemporary minarets. The lesson is the doctrinal foundations and not the heritage references to which the symbolic features of the minaret are due. In the current era, technological development in the building process has led to the emergence of modern sculptural forms of different formations, but they are unified by the ideological content and compatible with the same content of the symbolism of the heritage minaret, and not as it is mentioned in most scientific research that the contemporary architect designs the minaret inspired by its content from the west architecture and lost the heritage and identity of the minaret, that it is far from the content and this will be proven by presenting the designed minarets that are qualified for the finals of an international competition (2019/2020 AD) as the best contemporary minaret that simulates the current era and the tremendous development in which the two researchers participated in, as the design was qualified for the finals.
