First, considering Surah An-Nahl verse 80, God proclaims: "And Allah has made for you from your homes a place of rest …", and He explains that "rest" is the first condition for settlement. Then, He explains the relationship between "rest" and "tranquility" in Quran. By referring to Surah Ar-Rad verse 28, He proclaims "remembrance of Allah" is the main key to reach rest. He concludes that homes are places to attain rest when they are places to remember God. Then He mentions remembrance of Allah in creation as days and nights, earth, and spouses that are examples of rest among divine blessings. According to Quran clear text and regarding the fact that world has been created based on size and measure which is called geometry, it is obvious that geometry and measure are the main architectural keys in world creation. Thus, the key and secret of creation in nature should be found so as to build a house which leads into rest and remembrance of Allah. Second, in order to design and make a house, a direct relationship should be made among nature, house frame, and atmosphere. Then, home architecture will be like a window opened into God sings. Therefore, according to Quran, a house geometry which helps God remembrance and his sings can provide human settlement and rest. Since God remembrance is an introduction to human thought and contemplation, it will lead into human contemplation as well. Finally, it is stated that a house with the feature of God remembrance is a peaceful and thoughtful house. This study is a qualitative research which attempts to derive house related words in Quran through a Hermeneutic and interpretative method. In order to refer to Quran verses, Quran interpretation or verse to verse interpretation has been used.  UR - http://www.bagh-sj.com/article_43432.html L1 - http://www.bagh-sj.com/article_43432_709f73ae79e3d43a3332eeee0c083391.pdf ER -
