It comes from the word \u2018line\u2019, \u2018design\u2019, or \u2018construction\u2019 in Arabic, khatt (Arabic: \u062e\u0637). Though it began as readable handwriting, it has become an Arab tradition for artistic works \u2013 both old and new. Arabic calligraphy is a form of writing which has become an important traditional art form in the Muslim world. Originally used as a tool for communication, Arabic calligraphy began to be used in architecture, decoration and coin design over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85

calligraphy are different types of pens and inks. Traditional techniques use natural materials, such as reeds and bamboo stems for a type of pen called a qalam with a shaped and notched tip, (or another writing instrument). A mixture of honey, black soot and saffron is used for the ink, while paper is handmade before being treated with starch, egg white and alum. For modern calligraphy, markers and synthetic paint are commonly used. For calligraffiti, spray paint is utilized on walls, buildings and signs. Calligraphy can also be used for artistic enhancement by artisans and designers in mediums such as marble carving, wood carving, embroidery and metal etching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contexts_of_utilization\"><\/span>Contexts of utilization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Arab world has long linked its culture to calligraphy in fields such as religion and art. This connection has helped drive the advancement of Arabic calligraphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inscriptions in Arabic calligraphy are found in many different contexts. Calligraphic designs appear frequently in books, especially sacred texts, but they can also be seen on pottery and other objects. They play an important role in the decoration of mosques. This is largely because calligraphy has a special place among the arts in Muslim cultures due to the prohibition against representative art in religious settings. Islam does not allow for the worship of images, and this extends to all religious figurative art in many Muslim cultures. Therefore, non-figurative art forms, such as calligraphy, have a great deal of value in Islamic culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Arabic garnering the language of the Qur\u2019an, Islamic calligraphy obtains a unique status amongst Muslim communities where Arabic is not the dominant language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a great deal of Islamic calligraphy is in Arabic, the two are not always linked. For example, Coptic or other Christian manuscripts written in Arabic have made use of calligraphy. Likewise, there is also Islamic calligraphy present Persian and historic Ottoman language documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We categorize various calligraphic styles by the era in which they were prevalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hijazi_script_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%90%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%8A%D9%91\"><\/span>Hijazi script \/ \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0650\u062c\u0627\u0632\u064a\u0651<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-7th-century-hijazi-script.jpg\" alt=\"Qur'an 7th century in hijazi script\" class=\"wp-image-26708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-7th-century-hijazi-script.jpg 430w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-7th-century-hijazi-script-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-7th-century-hijazi-script-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Qur&#8217;an 7th century in hijazi script<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hijazi, which means \u201crelating to Hejaz\u201d in Arabic, is the name given to a group of early Arabic scripts that originated in the Hejaz region. This area includes Mecca and Medina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These scripts are characteristically very simple with cursive calligraphy and rarely use diacritics, which notations of short vowels, take small strokes. The Hijazi script is considered one of the oldest existing written languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The script was commonly used during the 7th and 8th centuries mainly, but can also be seen in some Qur\u2019an manuscripts and lapidary inscriptions dating back even further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kufic_script_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D9%8F%D9%88%D9%81%D9%8A%D9%91\"><\/span>Kufic script \/ \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0643\u064f\u0648\u0641\u064a\u0651<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The script was known as K\u016bfi and supposedly invented in Iraq at the city of K\u016bfah, which was an important early Islamic cultural center. However, most examples of this type of writing were found much farther south in Medina, Arabia\u2014where the Prophet Mohammed relocated after leaving Mecca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Simple K\u016bfi script was developed during the early Islamic era; the earliest surviving copies of the Qur\u02be\u0101n date from the 8th to 10th centuries and were written in this script. Later, a floral K\u016bfi style flourished, and several other varieties of the script developed, including foliated K\u016bfi, plaited or interlaced K\u016bfi, bordered K\u016bfi, and squared K\u016bf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kufic script is characterized by its angular, rectilinear letterforms and horizontal orientation. Different versions include square Kufic, floriated Kufic, and knotted Kufic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kufic script is an ancient Arabic writing that remained in use until the 13th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-folio-11th-century-kufic-script.jpg\" alt=\"Qur'an folio 11th century written in Eastern or new style kufic script\" class=\"wp-image-26710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-folio-11th-century-kufic-script.jpg 430w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-folio-11th-century-kufic-script-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-folio-11th-century-kufic-script-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Qur&#8217;an folio 11th century written in Eastern or new style kufic script<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Muhaqqaq_script_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8F%D8%AD%D9%8E%D9%82%D9%91%D9%82\"><\/span>Muhaqqaq script \/ \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064f\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u0642<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/quran-in-muhaqqaq-script.jpg\" alt=\"Manuscript of the Qur'an in Muhaqqaq\" class=\"wp-image-26711\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Manuscript of the Qur&#8217;an in Muhaqqaq<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Muhaqqaq script was created specifically to beautifully copy large passages from the Quran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muhaqqaq is an ancient form of writing that was known for being both beautiful and difficult to execute perfectly. The main characteristic of Muhaqqaq is its large lettering, which was used to emphasize titles or phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ottoman Empire replaced the Thuluth and Naskh styles gradually. In comparison to Thuluth, horizontal sections of&nbsp;letters&nbsp;in this style are more expanded. As a result, they appear wider than tall. This is a style with straight and angular letters; descending strokes often end in points. Letters that typically round downward at the ends curve under the next letter instead. Horizontal features are shallow and quick, while verticals are slender in height. Flourishes take on the form of diacritics here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thuluth_script_%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%8F%D9%84%D9%8F%D8%AB\"><\/span>Thuluth script \/ \u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u064f\u0644\u064f\u062b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name \u201cThuluth\u201d refers to the size of the pen used to write the script, which is one-third. It is a type of cursive script that was commonly used in mosques and other texts. The straight angular forms of Kufic were replaced by Thuluth\u2019s curved and oblique lines. In Thuluth, one-third of each letter slopes\u2013giving way to its meaning in Arabic (literally translated as \u201ca third\u201d). However, another theory suggests that smallest width of the letters are one-third instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First appearing in the 11th century during the Abbasid dynasty, the Thuluth script was later refined by calligrapher Seyh Hamdullah during the Ottoman dynasty. It is also considered to be the foundation of scripts that developed thereafter, such as Naskh and Muhaqqaq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Thuluth script is legible and straightforward, two qualities that make it ideal for a diverse range of applications even in the modern day. The flowing cursive letters and extendedstrokes contribute to its readability, making it an viable choice for both short titles and longer texts alike. Because of its artistic value, lapis lazuli was used in the Holy Quran and on many buildings throughout the Islamic empire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dua-musa-in-thuluth.jpg\" alt=\"Du'a Musa in thuluth\" class=\"wp-image-26712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dua-musa-in-thuluth.jpg 430w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dua-musa-in-thuluth-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dua-musa-in-thuluth-112x150.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Invocation of Musa \u201cMy Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] And ease for me my task And untie the knot from my tongue That they may understand my speech.\u201d Qur&#8217;an [Surat Ta-Ha : 25-28]<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Naskh_script_%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%8E%D8%B3%D9%92%D8%AE\"><\/span>Naskh script \/ \u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u064e\u0633\u0652\u062e<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"430\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/surat-al-fatiha-naskh-script.jpg\" alt=\"Surat Al-Fatiha in Naskh script\" class=\"wp-image-26713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/surat-al-fatiha-naskh-script.jpg 430w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/surat-al-fatiha-naskh-script-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/arabikey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/surat-al-fatiha-naskh-script-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Surat Al-Fatiha in Naskh script<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 10th century saw the development of another key script: Naskh.

Its cursive lettering was designed to better suit the Persian language. This style developed from aspects of&nbsp;<em>naskh<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>tawqi\u02bf<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>riq\u02bfa<\/em>&nbsp;scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ta\u02bfliq, which means \u201csuspension\u201d, was created by somebody who observed the shape of the script\u2019s lines and noted how they appeared hung together. The fluidity is gorgeous, although it might make legibility more difficult. There are strict rules governing this script typeface; however, because it\u2019s not always easy to read, writers often leave large spaces between the rows of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/-arabic-alphabet\/\">letters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The script was popular for various uses, including sending messages and copying Persian poetry after the 15th century in Iran and India.

It combines aspects of two other scripts- Naskh and Ta\u02bfliq. The resultant effect creates short vertical lines with long horizontal strokes, giving it a unique look among Iranian art forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The letters are a little curved, similar to the Ta\u2019liq script. They also vary in thickness and appear to be seamless and smooth; however, it is hard to write, making it less readable than some other scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nasta\u02bfliq is popular for writing poetry in Farsi, Dari and Urdu as well as other South Asian or Central Asian languages. In many cases, it is used more effectively than the Naskh style in both Iranian and Indian cultures. Additionally, people often use it to add decoration in titles, announcements and handwriting (manuscripts) within Iran and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maghrebi_script_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%8E%D8%B7%D9%91_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8E%D8%BA%D9%92%D8%B1%D9%90%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%91\"><\/span>Maghrebi script  \/ \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064e\u0637\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064e\u063a\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0628\u064a\u0651<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maghrebi script is a type of writing system that developed in the 10th century in areas such as the Maghreb, al-Andalus (Iberia), and Biled as-Sudan (the West African Sahel) region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cursive style of handwritten&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arabikey.com\/arabic-alphabet\/\">alphabet<\/a>&nbsp;known as Maghribi developed from the early K\u016bfic angular scripts used by Muslim peoples in northwestern Africa. The script they eventually created is rounded, with exaggerated horizontal elements and open curves below the writing line.

However, under Suleiman\u2019s reign, this script reached its peak level of usage and still sees use today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This style originated from naskhi and thulthi styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defining characteristic of this writing is that all the letters are interconnected. The more it appears jumbled, the more beautiful it is. This handwriting also has an elegant fluidity to it since the lines curve upwards, especially at the end of each line.
