Calligraphy Pens

Calligraphy is known as “beautiful handwriting,” and in Arabic it also means the “art of the pen” and “the geometry of the spirit.” Arabic calligraphy is a genuine Arabic and Islamic art form that links the literary heritage of the Arabic language with the religion of Islam. It is an artistic tradition of extraordinary beauty, richness and power. The Qur'an played a major role in the development and evolution of Arabic script and calligraphy, and was the main inspiration for beautifying the words of God. The first revelation of the Qur’an inspired Arab and Muslim artists to be creative and use calligraphy as a spiritual and artistic identity. Arabic calligraphy has been used for centuries to decorate architectural buildings, manuscripts, and objects of daily life. Despite the diversity of the Arabic and Islamic world, Arabic Calligraphy is a major element that unified Islamic art. In addition to its spiritual value, Arabic calligraphy and inscriptions on architectural monuments served as historical documents. Calligraphy was an art form that adapted every imaginable art media such as paper, wood, metal, glass, stone, ivory, and leather. It is an art that is considered a form of worship and played a major role in Arabic and Islamic cultures
