Islamic Art and Calligraphy
Islamic calligraphy is an ancient visual art that emerged with Islam and Arabic language. It differs from hand lettering or scripts which illustrate letters instead of displaying them; Islamic calligraphy requires practice to master its intricate techniques and skills.
Islamic art stands in stark contrast to its Western counterpart in that it features nature, geometry and abstraction as part of its spiritual and monotheist foundations.
Calligraphy in Islam is unique because it incorporates geometrical designs known as arabesques into its calligraphy, representing God as all-pervasive and all-embracing. Calligraphy was used on all forms of Islamic art from decorative objects and buildings to Qur’ans; Muslims all over the world highly value this skill and using Islamic calligraphy sets is a way of showing your appreciation. Giving one as a gift shows your devotion.
