Arabic calligraphy is a unique 
handwriting art technique based on 
Arabic letters. From ancient times, 
Arabic calligraphy has been widely 
known and appreciated throughout 
the world for its beauty, diversity, and 
developmental power. Its use is linked 
to advances in arts, crafts, 
architecture, and education in Arab 
civilization. Today, this art form is 
used in Pakistan for literature, art, 
literature, religious quotes and verses, 
and even greeting cards.
ARABIC  CALLIGRAPHY  
STYLES
The popularity of Arabic calligraphy can be attributed to 
highly respected professionals who have contributed to 
the development of this type of art. Over the years, 
calligrapher artists from different parts of Pakistan, from 
major cities like Karachi to smaller cities, have developed 
many types of calligraphy.
Worldwide, the emergence of Arabic calligraphy has a long 
history, with some types of calligraphic scripts created under 
empires that do not exist even today. Diwani, for example, 
was created for the rule of the Ottoman Empire. It is still 
used today in non-religious texts such as ornaments and 
greeting cards.
Kufic is the oldest style of Arabic calligraphy. It was invented in 
Iraq during the 7th century to produce the Quran. In the 
following centuries, it was the only text used in the writing of 
the Quran and is still widely used. Today, however, it is also 
used for coins and inscriptions.
One of the first styles created was the Naskh. It was used for 
writing books and books and is still used today in the work of 
painting. The hardest style to do well for calligrapher artist 
Thuluth, but it is also among the best styles and one of the 
easiest ways to learn.
USED  TOOLS
Unlike modern calligraphy which requires a nib, 
nib holder, and ink, Arabic calligraphy tools 
include several types of special pens, 
specially designed for different types of 
calligraphic texts.
A Qalam is the most common type of 
calligraphy pen and is considered a symbol 
of wisdom in Islam. It is made of cut reeds 
and dried. The pen is also made of reeds, 
but these pens require a long healing 
process to be used for writing in Arabic 
calligraphy.
The bamboo pen is the oldest tool in the world of calligraphy. It has a 
tight limit but also offers a level of flexibility that allows calligraphers 
to perform water movements. The Java pen is made of Javanese 
grass and because of its durability, it produces sharp edges of 
letterforms that make it perfect for small scripts.
The handam pen comes in a variety of sizes, making it suitable for a 
wide variety of different types of writing. It is also very strong and 
unlike other types of pens, it does not need to be sharpened 
regularly. Lastly, cell pens are great for calligraphy. They are made 
of bamboo and have ink boxes built into them.
Most Arabic calligraphy is done on ahar paper. Made by hand in 
central India and topped with starch, alum and egg whites. This 
adhesive keeps the ink from entering the paper, so if a calligrapher 
artist makes a mistake, he can erase the ink and make adjustments 
without damaging the paper.
READING THE CALLIGRAPHY

down from generation to generation. Learning to write 
in this way is very much dependent on observation and 
imitation.
Students learn this calligraphy very well by going to 
personal and teaching classes to look at precise 
movements and patterns many times before they learn 
how to imitate them. Students often practice their 
calligraphy at home on practice sheets and return them 
to their teacher for review. It is not a fast course.
Learning this art form can take years to complete. You can 
find calligraphy courses at 
calligraphy courses in Lahore.
If you would like to learn more about this art form, you can 
choose to focus on reading the creative expression 
behind it. This approach to learning does not focus on 
mastering the art form but rather on learning the basics 
as a way to capture the beauty of the text.
