The Al-Qalam project aims to produce a unique copy of the Holy Qur'an: one in which each verse has been penned by a different writer, thereby celebrating the fact that many diverse people can unify behind the teachings of the one book.Calligraphy is a fundamental element and one of the most highly regarded forms of Islamic Art. Derived from the Greek words ‘Kallos’ (beauty) and ‘Graphein’ (to write), early Islamic calligraphers would dedicate their whole life to writing Quranic manuscripts. Calligraphy requires intense focus and precision which is acquired over decades of practice.
Now, in the age of rapid technological advancement, writing may not be valued as much as before. Modern forms of communication such iPads and tablets are being preferred to traditional forms of artistry. Therefore, one of the inspirations behind this project is to bring back the art of writing. Under the supervision of an expert calligrapher anyone wishing to participate in the historic Al-Qalam project can do so without any experience of calligraphy.
