Islamic Calligraphy: Methods, Materials & Training with Soraya Syed

In this film Soraya tells us that calligraphy is contingent upon three things: the instruction of the master, the maintenance of practice and the religion of Islam. A good student must have five characteristics to embark on the journey of becoming a master and it may take years to succeed. It is no doubt an incredible and complicated skill and the wonderful description of a mistake as small as the liver of a flea having the ability to destroy the beauty of a composition, is an excellent example of the finesse and discipline it requires, for the service of the eye of the beholder.
The film was commissioned by the Islamic Art SSN as part of their ACE funded activities that aim to support regional museums and their collections. Visit us on: islamicartssn.org.uk/

يمكن الكتابة بالقلم الذي تتحدثين عنه ولكن لابد من إعداده على الطريقة التي صنعت بها الأستاذة القلم الذي استخدمته لاعطاه أمثلة ، شكل راس قلم الخط هو مغاير لقلم الكتابة العادية ، ولقد صنعت الأستاذة قلم الخط ما عليك سوى مراجعة الفيديو،

Book title is in Turkish: `Mehmet Şevki Efendi'Nin Sülüs-Nesih Hat Meşkleri` , Search with key word IRCICA. Perhaps they also ship abroad.

[@BahtsizSSubay]

There is a Proverb for Islamic Calligraphy in Turkish: "Quran revealed in Mecca, Recited in Cairo, Wrote in Istanbul." Turkish Calligraphers are really so gifted in Islamic Calligraphy, not only in History also nowadays.

Leaving a pen at the grave of the deceased person to receive blessings is straight up SHIRK! DO NOT DO THAT! All Blessings come from Allah subhanawatAllah. Ask Allah alone as is stated in Surah Al Fatiha. Do not seek help and blessings from dead people!!!! They can do NOTHING for you! Wa authobillah
