‘Islamic Calligraphy is a lifelong learning; it is a journey where you don’t just learn how to write letters, but you study some different aspects of human experience such as humility, patience, self-discipline, or “adab” (manners).’

”Imam Ali (A.S.) is the first major calligrapher.

Hence, the chain of transmission begins with him, documented through the centuries until today.”
