Expressing this reaction also has effects on other people such that it attracts the attention of them to the beauty. So the necessity of a study on beauty admiration in the field of art and paying attention to the true beauty in the noetic and Quranic atmosphere, as an interdisciplinary subject, seems noticeable. In fact, this article is an effort to apply the noetic subjects into the form of a process as a necessity.
