Date:12-13 November 2025This paper develops a practice-led framework for artists who work primarily in English yet wish to ground their creative work in Qur’anic aesthetics. Building on the principles of tawh̄īd (unity), iḥsān (excellence/beauty), and dhikr (remembrance), and informed by canonical scholarship on Islamic art, calligraphy, geometry, architecture, and sound, we propose the TID Model (Tawh̄īd–Iḥsān–Dhikr) as a design compass for contemporary prac- tice. We translate these principles into concrete studio constraints and opportunities across text, image, sound, and digital/AI media, while respecting established norms on sanctity, decorum, and representation. Two original figures (a conceptual Venn and a geometric con- struction) and three operational tables (principle- to-practice map, digital guardrails, and an evaluation rubric) are provided to support reproducible, ethically mindful making. The contribution is both theoretical and practical: a Qur’an-reflective, media-agnostic method suitable for artists producing in English, with extensive references to the tradition and recent scholarship. Keywords: Qur’an, Islamic aesthetics, pedagogy, contemporary art, AI art.en-UStext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper10521064
