Abstract
Iraq is an ancient land that was the focus of Muslims at the very beginning of the conquests, and the first Islamic cities such as Kufa and Basra were built there. In the 4th to 6th centuries of Hijri, coinciding with the rule of the Abbasids, Iraq, especially Baghdad, as the capital of the caliphate, enjoyed considerable prosperity and remained at its peak for several centuries and became a guiding light for a large part of the world. Social diversity took place in the field of Muslim social life, including attitudes and beliefs, lifestyle, social language, religion, and customs. In other words, during this period, the Abbasid government presented the most brilliant scientific and civilizational achievements to humanity. The works of Slimi found in Samarra can be divided into two main parts: carving and plastering. Although patterns have been found on pieces of pottery, for example, which have geometric designs with a slight indulgence of slimy, but most of the art and experience of the masters of this period in Samarra are imprinted on wood and plaster. In the arrays of residential houses in Samarra, what is very important from the point of view of Islamic wisdom are Islamic motifs. The subsequent use of these motifs in the Islamic world from Andalusia to India shows their Islamic face. It is speculated that these motifs were created due to jurisprudential pressures and aversion to images and depictions of living beings.
