Ali Arslan - Calligrapher and a professor at university of Istanbul-

"The art of calligraphy is considered one of the most sophisticated Islamic art, because it’s artist does not have in his hand anything except his pen, and this pen is the calligrapher’s ruler and compass, with it alone he determines the front sizes. This pen performs all functions of other instruments which artists use in different types of art. Thus The Calligrapher needs two traits ; predisposition and hard work”

The Islamic Art is very old one, it goes back to the seventh

century, it began and spread with time in all the Muslim Territory.

This art is not specifically of a religion, time, place, or of a single

medium like painting, it consists of a variety of arts such as

calligraphy, painting, glass, ceramics, and textiles and others.

Even though The Islamic Art is hard to define, it has

a unique and characteristic style making it easy to be distinguished

which is the repeating elements of Islamic art, such as the use of

geometrical floral or vegetal designs in a repetition known as the

Arabesque. But most of all what truly differentiate the Islamic Art is

the focus on Arabic Calligraphy to enhance the visual appeal of walls,

domes of buildings and mosques, furniture and even coins.

Calligraphy is the art of designing words, the art of writing

in all the languages that use Arabic alphabets .

Arabic letters are written in a cursive style which makes formatting

words and putting them in different geometric shapes beautifully

applicable.

The art of calligraphy has a long history and great professors

who have made a well-established tradition that have been flowing

from the pens of the Arab and Muslim calligraphers for thirteen

centuries.

Methaq Alghazzi is an Iraqi artist born in 1975, He holds a

diploma in Islamic Studies and he is a member of the Iraqi

Calligraphers Association and a member of the Forum of Culture

and Arts.

He loved Calligraphy and excelled in it until he was named one of

it’s pioneers. This passion started in his early childhood as he had

outstanding handwriting since elementary school. He began

studying the rules of Arabic calligraphy and Islamic

ornamentation from Calligraphy professors in Baghdad such as:

Professor Abdul Rida Alqurmla - The Vice-President of the

Iraqi Calligraphers Association, Mr. Abdul-Hussein al-Rikabi,

Haj Khalil al-Zahawi, Abbas al-Baghdadi and Adnan Kazzaz.

Methaq Elghazi have participated in several exhibitions and forums where he obtained several certificates, including a certificate of appreciation from ElKufa’s first contest of Quranic Calligraphy, a certificate of appreciation from the Directorate of Education of Dhi Qar, Iraq and a certificate of appreciation from the Forum and Exhibition Of Arabic Calligraphy.

His Paintings were selected to be displayed in the famous Syrian series “Bab Elhara”.

His paintings are sold around the middle east and worldwide.

Methaq Elghazi is licensed by the Iraqi Calligrapher Sheikh Haj Mehdi Al-Jubouri who is licensed by the Turkish pioneer,

the last Ottoman calligrapher Hamid Al-Amdi

Methaq Algazzi have captured the attention of Iraq’s best Calligraphies. He have received his license of excellence from the great Calligrapher Mehdi al-Jubouri who is one the students of Hamid Al-Amdi himself, an icon of this art and one of the last Ottoman calligraphers.

Mahdi Al-jabouri is considered one of the fathers of Iraqi Calligraphy. Born in 1928, in Rumaitha, Mahdi Al-Jabouri founded “The Association of Iraqi Calligraphers” and “The House of Calligraphy” in 1954, He holds a number of awards in calligraphy from Hamid Al-Amdi and others.

Hamid Al-Amdi is one of the giants of Calligraphy, he was described by researches as “an ancestor of the 3 greatest Calligraphers in history ; Ibn Muqla, Yaqoot Al-Mustasemi and Ibn Al-Bawab.

Hamid Al-Amdi has many notable works, but some its most outstanding is the Calligraphy of Holy Quran and the Calligraphy of the dome of Kocatepe Mosque in Ankara- Turkey as well as the Dome’s Calligraphy of Moda and Gartal mosques in Istanbul-Turkey.

Hence, Methaq Elghazzi was licensed and taught by the best and finest calligraphers of their times!

In a country like United Arab Emirates and in a place like

Dubai where cultures, lifestyles and arts of many countries meet, It is

essential to hold on to the Arab and Muslim Identity and the arts which

represent it.

Exactly for this reason, Emirati Sheikhs have been showing increasing

interest in the Art of Calligraphy, because to them it is more than mere

paintings it is a message of the importance of cherishing the Islamic and

Arab’s cultural heritage! Calligraphy paintings are displayed in the houses

and offices of Emirati Sheikhs as well as in government buildings and

mosques.

There are several types of arts in the United Arab Emirates and in the

world, but the art of calligraphy remains the most powerful in demonstrating

the beauty of the Islamic culture and it’s long history.

Philosophy.. Words have been proven to have a strong energy.

Science have proven that words have unique effect on water,

positive words would generate positive energy that would give water

crystals a beautiful shape, while negative words generate negative

energy which would give water crystals a less beautiful shape; Dr.

Masaru Emoto explains.

Because the human Body is composed of 90% water then the

effect of words and their energy would be enormous.

This being said and proved; What better than verses of Quran,

Quotes of Prophet Mohammed and poems to generate positive

energy?!
