%X In addition to scientific and structural applications for geometry and mathematics in Islamic civilization, they have some philosophical and theological natures. Some verses in Holy Quran express that God created the universe based on a very precise geometry. For the very reason the Muslim wise men have used geometry in philosophical and theosophical texts to express the concepts of universe. In this paper, there is an attempt, by relying to the opinions of Seyed Heidar Amoli and vast and unique proportion of wisdom, geometry and architecture in Islamic civilization (especially in Iranian art of mirrors), to study and investigate about the following issues: role of geometry in clarifying and interpreting wisdom and philosophical ambiguities in Islamic civilization, the role of geometry in formation of wisdom fundamentals in architecture as a middle link between philosophy and architecture, possibility to deem that meaning as an example of wisdom effect on Islamic architecture due to the high similarity of Seyed Heidar¡¯s interpretation of candle and mirror analogy with art of mirrors in Islamic architecture. This paper also indicates that engineers and architectures have used theosophical and philosophical concepts in their architectural forms.
