i love calligraphy, especially with non-latin glyphs. all of the kufic scripts here especially are so stylistically sharp they look like scifi. the maghribi is my favorite of those i think though. something about it is just perfect to me. thanks for sharing. video is extremely cool.

Wow I’d love to buy his calligraphy book but it still costs $160 before postage.

I know it’s fair for the price but that’s still an expense one cannot easily afford if you’re not earning dollars lol.

It looks like the character 宁/寧 (peace) or 亭 (pavilion)

For everyone else: السلام means peace.

Something I've always wondered is are these legible in calligraphic form or is it more of an artistic endeavour where the legibility is less important?

[-] Prof_mu3allim@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah calligraphy prioritizes aesthetics over legibility for sure.

When I was learning Spanish, we would be taught how to say prayers, without yet knowing all the words of those prayers. In many cases it was 2 or more years before we learned some of those words.

Is the root of "subhan-allah" s-b-7, and is the form x-x-x-A-N accurate to what is going on, and what does it convey?

[-] Prof_mu3allim@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Yes the pattern is فُعلان.

So سُبحان is a cognate accusative, and usually the verb itself is omitted.
