You inspired me! I made three Qalam kits as gifts this year. I made a bamboo inkwell, and I split a very big section of bamboo and used half of it as a display and holder for the Qalam and inkwell. I colored the bamboo dark with a flame, and they came out great! Thanks again!

[@laseenasakeer4552]

Masha allah ❤❤... You are such a talented person... I am very keen to learn Arabic calligraphy and I am an absolute beginner... Can you please do a video of tips for beginners and the types papers and pens and other products that you use? And also how did you start Arabic calligraphy? It would be very helpful if you post a video of these...

[@maskerjr]

calligraphy is actually learnt traditionally, where a licensed teacher assigns his/her students with a piece and students must copy it. after finishing, the piece is then corrected and repeated if needed and this process called tasheeh must be repetitive until the teacher thinks that the student is already worthy of writing. if so, the teacher will ask the student to write an artwork for said student's license

[@shaheensayed3838]

Plz write and show Mashallah la quwatta illah billah.. Step by step ..its humble request.. Bcoz I want to make one frame

[@araliajaiswal9564]

Nice activities

[@sawsanalshehabi7098]

wow thats really helpful 🤍 thank you. can you make a video showing us how to write with them ive been trying to learn for a whike and i cant figure it out

[@maskerjr]

to write arabic calligraphy, you have to learn from a licensed teacher, so the learning process is authentic and traditional like the ottoman times. learning arabic calligraphy by the traditional way is better and the rules are clear as crystal

Thanks for all your content, I really appreciate the way you express your thought writing Holy quotes. I want to do the same thing as you did by writing directly on my walls, but I wonder if I sell my appartement, what I have do to, so the next peoples aren't blaspheme those Holy words? (I'm French, please excuse my English)

[@amanichj7079]

Use a big canvas so that you can remove it, or hang a big piece of fabric which covers your whole wall and then if you move you can fold it and take it with you.

[@iramsyeda]

Thank you for sharing this!! How do you make different shapes? How do you care for the qalaams in between? Do you wash them? Can you share qalaams between different color inks? Where do you get the bamboo from? Sorry - just beginning at this and would like to understand more! This video is super helpful!

[@samreenkhan2893]

Qalams are mostly made on an angle of 75° as shown in the video, the chiseled shape is preferred more as it can give you the perfect shape of the letters. You can buy it anywhere outside if they sell in your place or you could purchase it through some Instagram pages. And you don't wash them you could just clean the ink with a wet tissue or something after using it 😄😄 hope this is helpful for you

[@maskerjr]

@@samreenkhan2893 actually, calligraphers clean our pens with spit, because wet tissue can damage the nib of the pen. the angle of the pen depends on the calligrapher, some prefer it straight while others slanted with different angles. pen cuttings are also different for left and right handed people. the different shapes of letters and ligatures is arabic calligraphy depends on the nuqtah (diamond shape). it is the basic shapa and the unit of measurement in calligraphy (we cannot just write as there are many rules to follow)

[@Meryem-gm3jm]

Thank you so much for teaching us this, I really like that you don't put any music. Could you please also teach us how you remove the inc from the qalam when you are done drawing calligraphy.

[@maskerjr]

we call them writing the calligraphy. the pen is cleaned with tissue but with saliva. if we use water, it may damage the nib

[@thesoniahussain]

How does one cut the bamboo stick to get it into the right size?

[@renaah3697]

insha allah for your give away i will also be a part bcuz am only 11 years old 😁 but i lovee making arabic calligraphies but i only have markers and a pencil 😶but anyways i will keep my fingers crossed 😂
