Calligraphy is the most revered and celebrated art form in the Islamic world. It is the art of beautifying the words of God, as revealed in the holy scripture of the Qur’an. For Muslims, the Qur’an is the eternal and unaltered word of God, transmitted to humanity through the Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an has been preserved in both oral and written forms for over fourteen centuries, without any variation or distortion. Muslims regard the Qur’an as the ultimate guidance and source of knowledge for all humankind. Therefore, writing and reciting the Qur’an is a sacred act of devotion and worship.
