In Islamic culture the growing path of human is from carpet to the empyrean, human beings come to the world on the carpet and fly to the empyrean and in its highest levels they lean on the best carpets made of silk in the heaven. Based on this research, it has been shown that an allegorical concept of heaven and its gardens in Iranian carpet can be found completely, which are full of Islamic gardens showing the high potentials of Iranian carpet designers in drawing and designing heaven’s spiritual concepts to weave the strings in a way that they deserve the holy concepts and remind us the everlasting heavens which ties us up to the infinite existence of it.
