Cities of Muslim origin, such as Marrakech (13th century), share specific culture and social values which are embedded in their everyday system of social organization, and therefore, in architecture as well. In this section, we identify and put forward a succinct contextualization of these cultural and religious values, which have to be taken in consideration in any interpretation of Islamic architecture. Social and cultural characteristics of urban planning and architecture, as well as many aspects of Islamic social behavior are related to the Islamic law, shari´ah, and certain principles found in urban environments of Islamic cities are a tribute to shari´ah. They are clearly founded in the basic source of the shari´ah, the Qur´an and the sunnah (life of the prophet), while others stem from traditional building codes related to, inheritance and endowment laws. This set of religious public values and rules determine many of the social patterns of Islamic society and its urban and architectural spatial configurations.
