Islamic Calligraphy (FIC)
The Prince Ghazi Trust for Quranic Thought
Islamic Calligraphy is a non-profit app owned by the Prince Ghazi Trust for Qur’anic Thought, an Islamic charity (waqf) set up by H.R.H. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad bin Talal in 1433 AH / 2012 CE. Having noticed that the Divine Names, key Qur’anic verses and sacred formulas were not available free online in the most perfect and beautiful styles of Arabic calligraphy, the Prince Ghazi Trust for Qur’anic Thought commissioned prize-winning calligrapher Mothana Al-Obaydi and other calligraphers to draw them and digitize them onto ‘Word documents’ so that they can be adapted, colored and printed out by anyone according to their taste from the app and website. Thus, instead of paying for decorating their home with drawings or Western posters, or instead of paying for expensive name-brand calligraphy, any Muslim in the world can adapt the most beautiful pieces of calligraphy and decorate his or her home with it for the price of a piece of a paper. This, God willing, will not only make people’s homes more beautiful, but also their lives more beautiful as they see and remember God’s Name more often.
