Notes There is no doubt that the Islamic arts were distinguished from the rest of the arts by an advantage that they derived from the belief that is based on tolerance and justice, which led to their flourishing in all the regions where the claim of Islam spread. If the artistic work is measured by the aesthetic values it contains, not by its source or source, then it can be said that the Islamic arts, no matter how diverse their sources are, or the different places and eras in which they flourished, or the circumstances that surrounded them, are in their entirety arts that belong to one belief, aim at one goal, and derive Its entity is based on one inspiration, which is Islam. Since the architecture of the Islamic era has a strong luster and a unique history among the world’s civilizations, this is what most students of interior design face to be enlightened by the light of those civilizations, so that it brings useful and enriching knowledge to their lives. As a result of the control of religious beliefs over Muslim nations, architecture was imprinted with the character of those beliefs and religions externally and internally, and the interior design of the Islamic residence is nothing but a translation of these principles in our Islamic architectural heritage. The dwelling in the Islamic era is nothing but a miniature unit of the economic, social and cultural life of society and is linked to the system of movement of this society. It is also influenced by social values ​​of customs and traditions that were directly reflected in the interior design and furnishing of the dwelling. Given that during the Mamluk and Ottoman eras in Egypt, human interaction with his environment reached its peak in terms of defining and allocating environmental relationships in the interior spaces of the dwelling on both the vertical and horizontal levels. It also became clear in that period of complete knowledge of environmental conditions and factors, which qualified the architect to achieve success from an ecological standpoint in exploiting these factors and making optimal use of them, including the elements of air and rain treatment, as well as the influence of religion, traditions and customs, separating the multiple functions in one dwelling, and achieving the independence of each element and its complementary characteristics, while maintaining the integration of the elements that make up the dwelling in the end as an integrated whole.
