Abstract
Iranian Islamic gardens like almost every cultures, represent beauty and happiness and improve the public perception. It has also special geometry with philosophical concept related to Islam’s doctrine that is the focus of this research. Following Quran’s contents, paradise is a beautiful sophisticated garden that something flows under its trees. So the comparison between the somatic geometry of Iranian Islamic gardens and the sophisticated conceptual heavenly descriptions of paradise in Quran is the matter of this research. Thus the configurations of the geometry, based on the paths of rivulets and airflow patterns in the gardens are considered here. The research method is interdisciplinary: in the first step, after initial considerations and exploring, the principals of Iranian Islamic garden’s geometry were extracted by a comparative - descriptive method in some selected case studies. The construction of paradise in Quran frames the trajectory of analysis so the next step is analyzing the paths and geometries with a consequential analytical method. Some simulations of the inner wind are presented also. The simulations include a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to illustrate the airflow current in this geometry. The results demonstrate the physical imagination of Quran’s perception of paradise in Iranian Islamic gardens and the flows under the trees that is framed in a heavenly geometry.

Abstract
The Holy Quran, as the guiding book of mankind, contains a collection of divine verses in which there are innumerable truths and mysteries, and is the greatest manifestation of the emergence of a truth in the material body. So that the truth of heaven appears in the material form and the architecture of the garden. Contrary to the simple appearance of Persian garden, the structural and semantic complexities resulted from the combination of four elements in the Persian garden are in accordance with the Paradise; in fact, the influence of water element as the main existential factor in the pattern of Persian garden and its sanctity in Iranian thoughts are evident and more important. So that water is a vital element in preserving the dignity of heaven in the manifestation and appearance of it in the Persian garden. An interpretative research methodology is adopted in this study, which is based on the analysis of contents of Quran verses. This study seeks to find out the manifestation of the water elemente in the physical and functional system of the Persian garden with its image in the Paradise. A comparison of Persian garden and the Paradise from the perspective of Holy Quran and the interpretations of Al-Imran Surah show that the functional system of Persian garden corresponds with the names of the Paradise, which are proportional to its rank and place, and the element of water in the physical system of Persian garden corresponds to different faces of water in the functions of the Paradise
