The history of calligraphy in Iran dates back to the pre Islam era. In Zoroastrianism beautiful and clear writings were always praised. [1]
Around one thousand years ago, Ebne Moghleh Beyzavi Shirazi (in Persian: ابن مقله بيضاوی شيرازی) and his brother invented six genres of Iranian calligraphy namely "Tahqiq", "Reyhan", "Sols", "Naskh" and "Toqih" and "Reqah". These genres were common for four centuries in Persia. In 7th century (Hijri calendar), a new genre of Persian calligraphy was invented and named "Ta'liq".
Morteza Gholi Khan Shamlou and Mohammad Shafi Heravi invented a new genre called "Shekasteh Nastaliq". Abdol-Majid Taleqani brought this genre to its highest level.

Here you can see my practice attempts with the quill (as opposed to a metal nib calligraphy pen) and the final result on a small piece of vellum. Only a small piece as vellum is very expensive.
Pity I didn't put my finished quill into the picture.

Because Islamic leaders saw in figural arts a possible implication of idolatry, Islam's early theocracy looked to the artistry of calligraphy for religious expression. In Islamic and Arabic cultures, calligraphy became highly respected as an art -- the art of writing.
The Qur'an, played a central role in the development and evolution of Arabic script, and by extension, calligraphy. Today, calligraphy has become the most revered art form in the Islamic world because it links the literary heritage of the Arabic language with the religion of Islam. The result is an artistic tradition of extraordinary beauty, richness and power.
Calligraphy is an extremely demanding activity, and most of the great Muslim masters devoted their lives to perfecting their art. Mastery of calligraphy requires not only the discipline of developing technical skill, but also the engagement of the calligrapher's moral force and personality.
The scope of Arabic calligraphy is vast and diffuse. What I am presenting is merely a sample of the aesthetic, cultural, and scholarly wealth available.
Copperplate flows - it's a lovely style to write. The technique is different to other calligraphy styles, the tools are different, but with practice Copperplate is a lovely style for wedding invitation calligraphy and addressing envelopes etc.
I was lucky enough to work with Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls on reshooting her portfolio. Styling was a collaborative effort, but all the beautiful calligraphy and illustration is Maybelle's. Visit her redesigned site.

"Calligraphy (from Greek κάλλος kallos "beauty" + γραφή graphẽ "writing") is a type of visual art related to writing.
Islamic calligraphy (calligraphy in Arabic is Khatt ul-Yad خط اليد) has evolved alongside the religion of Islam and the Arabic language. As it is based on Arabic letters, some call it "Arabic calligraphy". However the term "Islamic calligraphy" is a more appropriate term as it comprises all works of calligraphy by the Muslim calligraphers from Morocco to China.
Islamic calligraphy is associated with geometric Islamic art (arabesque) on the walls and ceilings of mosques as well as on the page. Contemporary artists in the Islamic world draw on the heritage of calligraphy to use calligraphic inscriptions or abstractions.
Instead of recalling something related to the spoken word, calligraphy for Muslims is a visible expression of the highest art of all, the art of the spiritual world. Calligraphy has arguably become the most venerated form of Islamic art because it provides a link between the languages of the Muslims with the religion of Islam. The holy book of Islam, al-Qur'an, has played an important role in the development and evolution of the Arabic language, and by extension, calligraphy in the Arabic alphabet. Proverbs and passages from the Qur'an are still sources for Islamic calligraphy.
It is generally accepted that Islamic calligraphy excelled during the Ottoman era. Turkish calligraphers still present the most refined and creative works. Istanbul is an open exhibition hall for all kinds and varieties of calligraphy, from inscriptions in mosques to fountains, schools, houses, etc."

“People are capable of happiness as long as they perceive something other than themselves, and are surprised and grateful.”/sorry for my free translation/
If I was asked if this is called calligraphy, I may answered "half and half". A fun and free time to play. Golden gel pen on Brazzil paper. More to come ...
Arabic calligraphy is a part of islamic art parts. There are alot of fonts types such as Riqa, Naskhi, Nastaliq, Thuluth, Muhaqqaq and Square Kufic.
I found it in my archive , it's not very clear because my scanner is not good for this type of papers , i tried to clear it and put some shadow using adobe photoshop
it was very light .
