java pen the pen is good to use for all kinds of scripts 9 celi pen edit the celi pen is used for large writing in arabic calligraphy these pens are made from hardwood and cut and drilled 10 evolution edit arabic calligraphy evolved from a tool for communication and documentation to an artistic form in the span of 13 centuries it was also implemented in various other fields such as mathematics and astronomy it is a central form of decoration in islamic art such as decorative design and architecture historians consider qutba al muharrir to be the earliest arab calligrapher 11 the evolution of arabic calligraphy led to the appearance of various scripts including cursive styles such as nastaliq and ruq ah and more square angular styles such as kufic the linguistic features of arabic scripts are shared between all scripts despite differences in styles 12 better source needed scripts edit kufic edit main article kufic qur an folio 11th century ce kufic originally used for inscription on stone and metal the kufic style of arabic calligraphy received its name due to its birth in the city of kufa iraq this script is one of the oldest scripts used in arabic and islamic calligraphy due to this the style has undergone many evolutions and changes in its life course as many attempts were made to perfect it however this also led to the development of many different variations of this script such as the floriated kufic square kufic knotted kufic and many others this also means there are a few distinguishing features of the kufic script 13 better source needed the kufic style has been used almost exclusively for arabic as opposed to other languages such as persian and urdu that are written in systems derived from arabic a single exception to this is a series of persian rhymes found on a building in ghazni from the 11th century 14 naskh edit main article naskh script qur an folio in black naskh script with persian translation in red nasta liq script known as the naskh or naskhī script this script is said to have originated from mecca and medina citation needed the script is used as a cursive script for example on papyrus and paper the origins of the style are debated by scholars but some believe it initially stemmed from the thuluth script but recent discoveries in jabal sala in medina have proven that the naskh script precedes the thuluth script and that it existed before ibn muqla al shirazi 15 one of the main usages for this script was for writing the quran but it was also used for inscription on metal antiquities woods and other objects of decorative purpose the main evolutionary periods for this script were the 3rd and 4th centuries ah coinciding with the evolution of other similar popular styles such as the rayhani thulth and muhaqqaq 13 other scripts edit the thuluth nasta liq and diwani scripts are other scripts used for arabic scripting the thuluth script used during the medieval times is known as one of the oldest scripts to exist the script was used in mosques and for quranic text due to the appearance of the text the nasta liq script is used more for persian than arabic scripting because of the downward slant to the left the script is seen as different from the other scripts 16 the diwani script was created during the ottoman era the lining and lettering of this script creates a sense of closeness when writing due to this reason it is difficult to read since the letters intertwine 16 folio of an album in thuluth script a few other examples 13 rayhani script muhaqqaq script ruq ah script list of calligraphers edit
