Mosques typically do not display images or pictures of God due to the Islamic belief in the absolute oneness and uniqueness of Allah. Islam emphasizes that God cannot be represented or depicted in any form, as this could lead to idolatry. Instead, mosques focus on calligraphy, geometric designs, and arabesques to reflect the beauty of creation and to maintain a sense of reverence in worship. This practice encourages followers to focus on the spiritual essence of their faith rather than physical representations.
