Why do Muslims design the chess pieces like this?

If you are asking why these abstract designs instead of something more figurative or representational, it's likely because Muslims are strict regarding the prohibition of graven images and idol worship.

This is original islamic design going back to several centuries ago. Nowadays muslims do not make this type of design nor play with such sets. Chess Empire has repeoduced this set which you can buy if you are keen on old islamic chess designs.
