Arabic calligraphy is the artistic expression of handwriting and the Arabic script, and is often framed up and used to display excerpts of the Qur’an in a Muslim household.

Arabic calligraphy is based on the Arabic script, which was used by Muslims around the world in their own languages.
Framed Islamic calligraphy was used to represent God because Muslims were forbidden from representing Allah with images or idols.
You can find Arabic calligraphy in many Muslim homes and museums.
