The intricate details of this artwork showcase the deep connection between science and religion during this time period. The symbolism behind the presence of the compass in the hands of the scientist speaks volumes about the importance of navigation and exploration in understanding both earthly and celestial realms. In Islamic culture, astronomy played a crucial role in shaping beliefs and practices, as well as advancing scientific discoveries.
