Sufi meditation has influenced Egyptian art across four major historical periods: Ancient (3200 BC–323 BC), Coptic (30 BC–640 AD), Islamic (640 AD–1805 AD), and Modern (1805 AD–present). A descriptive historical analysis of selected Egyptian artworks reveals that the philosophy of Sufi meditation contributes to unique aesthetic and artistic values, semantic interpretations, and creative solutions in visual art. The study describes and analyzes these works to show how meditative practices have shaped artistic thought and expression throughout Egyptian history, recommending further research on the impact of Sufi meditation on visual artists and their styles.
