Islamic Calligraphy

A little taste of an Islamic Art

The Glorious Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be on him) in the seventh century of the Christian Era (610 CE - 632 CE). The revelations came to the Prophet through the angel Gabriel. For the past fourteen centuries, Muslims from all over the world have written the Arabic verses in various beautiful caligraphic forms. Below are a few examples of this art.
