Islamic architecture is a term used to describe the architecture people created as an application of Islamic principles, and an application of how religion can shape buildings. in that sense Persian architecture is the interpretation of the people in the Persian region and how they shaped their building according to their own understanding to Islam. It is not purely shaped by Islam, but also influenced by the region culture and climate.

Note that Persian architecture is a regional architecture, where Islamic architecture can be anywhere in the world.
