The Ç›ra¤an
Palace in its
restored state,
with all its
décor com-
pleted.
The remains that have survived down to the present may have once
been exceedingly beautiful buildings, just like the Çırağan Palace. If one were
to place furniture atop of these ruins and decorate them with curtains, car-
pets and lamps, the result would be quite impressive once again.
The Qur'an refers to bygone societies as being highly advanced in terms
of art, architecture, culture and knowledge. In one verse, we are told that so-
cieties of the past were very superior:
Haven't they traveled in the Earth and seen the final fate of
those before them? They were greater than them in strength
and left far deeper traces on the Earth. . . . (Qur'an, 40:21)
