Abstract

Minarets are considered one of the most important and characteristic factors of Islamic Architecture. They have different designs which, at first glance, reflect their style and the historical period to which they belong. This research focuses on the different styles of minarets tops, which have various shapes and names. It also presents the head-gear styles of significant characters in the Islamic State, in an attempt to answer the questions: From where had minarets' tops design derived? through hypothesis that the architecture of minarets in the Islamic Civilizations was inspired by costumes fashion of Caliphs, Sultans and officers of the Middle Age in Egypt, By analytical study between the styles of head-gears and minarets tops, the research conclude that the unique existences of the resemblance between the shapes of the minarets' tops and head-gears give a great probability that the architecture of minarets was inspired by the art of head-gears. Keywords: Minaret, Double-headed, Turban, Helmet, Khudha, Fatimid, Mamluk, Ottoman
