Space is the place where man works with his own hands. Even though every place is a place, every place is not a place. For a place to be called a place, a person must touch his hand. In this sense, home is a place. While the places are being built, facts such as religion, culture, civilization and geography can be decisive. Because space is not meaningless, soulless, identityless. Space is the mirror of civilization. The home is the expression of civilization. Home means we are here now. People and society have built various homes throughout history. This study seeks an answer to the problem of how the concept of home was formed in Islamic civilization. Islamic civilization protects the right of everyone, whether rich or poor, to live in beautiful places. In this perspective, property belongs to Allah, and his most important contribution to other cultures is the love of beauty and the sublimity of decency. In this case, the property is never used to pollute the world created by God. On the contrary, the most important duty of man is to beautify the environment in which he lives. While houses in Islamic architecture are built with light materials to adapt to the ever-changing family structure, structures offered for community service, such as inns, baths, mosques and madrasahs, are built with permanent materials. This situation perfectly reflects the temporary/permanent classification into the objective field. Stylistic integrity is brought to the city by using standard architectural elements; it indicates a sensitivity that takes into account the time in which we live, environmental conditions and the dynamic structure of the city. In this study, the subject of the home in Islamic civilization will be examined through the concepts of privacy, mortality, the understanding of monotheism, aesthetics in simplicity and the example of Darulerkam, the first house of Islam.
