• 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,

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 OF ARABIC HOUSES

• An Arabic calligraphy is an art form that has
  been passed 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.
