Abstract

The purposes and functions for which the buildings were built varied, their architectural styles varied, and their names varied. There were religious buildings, funerary buildings, civil buildings, and military buildings, and from this standpoint These Islamic buildings as not just a group of stones that have taken on a distinctive shape, such as domes, minarets, etc. Rather, we look at them as carrying within them a set of general features that distinguish them from other styles of architecture known to humanity. The Islamic buildings in the city of Cairo are linked to a group of historical, architectural and artistic values ​​that had a prominent role in the field of urbanization, preserved for us by the archaeological evidence remaining to this day.Hence, these buildings fell under several concepts such as heritage, inheritance, authenticity, and impact.The planning of the Islamic city was based on studied foundations and significant rules determined by Islamic thought, and among these conditions was what related to the right of way. Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi al-Rabi' mentions it in his book “The Conduct of Kingdoms in Perfection and Perfection," which he wrote for the Abbasid Caliph al-Mu'tasim Billah. (227 AH / 842 AD) One of its chapters included eight conditions that must be followed by anyone who wants to establish a city.
