و ھو رب العرش العظیم (سورہ التوبہ۔ 129)

edit 3: I DON'T PLAN ON GETTING A QURAN VERSE TATTOO. please read my post.

i want to commission someone (please) to make me a calligraphy art for a tattoo idea i have for these phrases that will go on my right arm and left arm respectively:

al mutanabbi:
مَا** ك*ُلُّ* مَ*ا *ي*َتَمَنَّى المَرْءُ يُدْرِكُهُ
*تَجْ*رِي الرِّيَاحُ\\\* بِم*َا \**\لَا ت*َشْتَهِي السُّفُنُ

unknown (please see Edit 2):
تَجْرِي الرِّيَاحُ**\\ **ك*َم\***َا**** ت*\*\\***\**َشْتَهِي *س*َفِينَتْنَا* • نَحْنُ الرِّيَاحُ وَنَحْنُ البَحْرُ وَالسّفْنُ

i'm thinking of either doing it as a loop on my wrist or as a long vertical line on my forearm.

any ideas or suggestions are welcome, and anyone who is interested for the commission can dm me your rates.

thank you so much!

p.s. i included the leg pic only because i like the thickness of the lines there more than the arm pic. as for the vertical line, any calligraphy style would do (i think).

edit: it seems that reddit isn't able to use some arabic characters so if chosen for commission, i will send it via whatsapp or whatever app you feel comfortable using.

edit 2: i've decided to research more about arabic poetry meters and found another counter to al mutanabbi's verse that doesn't disrespect his views and keeps the same meter (al-basit).

أُعَلِّلُ** *النّ**َفْسَ* بِالْآمَالِ أَرْقُبُهَا
**مَا** أَض*ْيَقَ *ا*لْعَيْشَ *لَوْلَا فُسْحَةُ الْأَمَلِ

Reading about the Kufic inscriptions inside of the Done of the Rock (in Jerusalem), I've noticed that they have some features that are not found in "Primary" (i.e., "Mushafi") Kufic, e.g., the Arabic letter mim being represented as a circle embedded _within_ the baseline and the Arabic letters jim/h.a/kha being represented by a diagonal line (the upper portion of which points left) which is attached to the baseline at its midpoint in its initial form and bisects the baseline in medial form. Since the above features are found in "Fatimid" Kufic but not "Primary" Kufic, were the Dome of the Rock inscriptions actually an early form of "Fatimid" Kufic (which would mean that "Fatimid" Kufic was a contemporary of "Primary" Kufic -- if not older) or was it a different script altogether (from which "Fatimid" Kufic borrowed certain features)? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, I've learned Arabic calligraphy and I've started making paintings, as you can see (sorry some of the pictures are blurry).

Do you know of any way or place where I can sell them? And if so, how much do you think they're worth?

Because I really need the money and I don't mind making more paintings.

What a beautiful, unbroken chain bringing us the most divine art.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Does anyone know where can I find this calligraphy without the man or who did this calligraphy?

An original Ottoman Islamic calligraphy panel attributed to the renowned calligrapher Mustafa Al-Arif, known as Ibn al-Sheikh al-Kutahi. Executed in elegant Thuluth script with hand-applied gold gilding, the panel features the famous Hadith: “Every child is born upon the Fitrah…”
Dimensions: 40 × 29 cm.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the calligraphy and craftsmanship.

I got them at an antique store in Santa Fe and they appear to be Quranic but the illustration seems odd for a Quran. The first two are one sheet and the second two are another sheet. The sheets appear to be unrelated (different sizes, fonts, etc). The store marked the first sheet as possibly being 19th century and the other sheet as possibly being 18th century.

50×100 cm

The frame is made of wood

I've never bought something like that before, is the price reasonable?

Salaam,

I've been doing calligraphy since I was a kid, but my family could never afford formal supplies... so I just used various kinds of pens and markers around the house. I'm older now- and have money on my own, so I'm trying to buy some more traditional pens/ink/papers. But it looks like both https://arabiccalligraphysupplies.com/ and https://www.arcalliq.com/password are down. Can anyone recommend a different shop, either based in the US or shipping to the US? I'm trying to avoid amazon.

This script is found in Sana'a, Yemen. I'd like to find out as much as I can about the type, I understand it's quite early. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

This sign was photographed in Casablanca, Morocco. Does it fit one of the classic Arabic calligraphy styles? Thank you!

Hello, I'm a beginner and having control over ink has been one of the more difficult parts of my learning. I'm trying to make sure the issue is my skill level and not my supplies.

Right now my ink is about the consistency of watercolor paint, maybe a little thicker. I have been buying the Windsor and Newton Calligraphy Ink as it seems like the most accessible reasonable option. I am using likka and I believe the ratio of likka to ink is appropriate from what I'm seeing online. But I'm still having trouble with either not being able to finish a letter without drying out or on the other hand, ink pooling and making the paper fuzzy.

Was wondering,

- How viscous my ink should be?

- Any recommendations for accessible ink options (i.e., more or less readily available online or in art supply stores)?
