Art is a narrative. It’s one of the ways for the humans, who express themselves, to manifest their emotions and thoughts, and to give meaning to human lives. However, the personal and social functions of art are also remarkable. Not overlooking the functionality of art, religion appreciated and confirmed the eloquence of art, therefore art became one of the most important of tools to convey the messages of religion. Islamic art, in consequence of being of arts, is neither above nor below the others of art, and is of the product of humanistic deeds. Hereunder, to make a distinction such as Islamic art and humanistic art is not a correct approach. To wit, the objective of this study, with reference to two thinkers in modern times with different worldviews, is to unclothe the idea that art is an activity of indispensable importance for the human and the Muslim. One of these thinkers is Ali Shariati, the other being Mohammad Qutb. Art is a humanistic matter of the most important, and of the most indispensable coming up in today’s modern world according to both of these thinkers. Because art directs today’s thoughts, and opens doors to new achievements by brightening the ideas.
