Zikr is an esoteric concept in Islamic culture and mysticism. Considering the importance of this concept, artists, because art is based on emergence and deals with face; In their works, they have translated this esoteric concept into a visual form. The current research, while examining the religious meaning of the term zikr in its various aspects, has paid attention to the visual arrangements of artists and architects in interpreting the inner meaning of zikr in a material and visual way in Islamic architecture. The use of verses and narrations and the names of God, the Prophet, and the Shia imams and the use of the principle of unity are the most important visual strategies in the development of Islamic identification based on the concept of zikr. In this regard, 10 examples of Islamic mentions in the form of inscriptions in the buildings of the first to the fifth centuries of Hijri, based on library studies and qualitative analytical methods, have been selected as samples. The use of azkar in its various forms has caused it to take on a religious and Islamic color and to absorb a person in its attraction, willingly or unwillingly. Paying attention to the spiritual and spiritual aspects in Islamic arts in general and architecture in particular, on the one hand, has led to the development of the spiritual identity of the work, an identity independent of the form and body, which even acts as an obstacle against the development of a single and coherent physical identity of the work. . And on the other hand, it has led to the development of special visual principles such as the principle of unity in the Islamic visual system.
