Arabic Calligraphy: Inspiration through the Ages

| February 10, 2010 | 63 Comments

The Arabic calligraphy is a type of Arabic writing that is merged with art and decorative motives along with the different types of Arabic handwritings fonts. The Arabic calligraphy artwork is used to feature Qura’an (The Muslims holy book), prophet Mohammed words, quotes of wisdom and Arabic poems.

While the Islamic civilization was covering many places on earth in the golden era of Islam or the Islamic Renaissance. The Islam started to integrate and react with other civilizations including writing and Arabic calligraphy. However, the Arabic calligraphy art includes different styles based on the location and the artists.
