Nugget 2













My concentration is the word "Mashallah". It is an Urdu word which, when uttered, is meant to protect an individual from physical or mental harm. The word will be repeated in all drawings and in this nugget I have posted three different styles of Arabic calligraphy that I will be using.
The first one is Nastaliq. It is known for its flow and beauty. This script is found in almost all Urdu book.The second one is Kufic which is a very rigid, complex and geometrical form of writing. The written word is mostly hard to decipher.The third one is the Sini Script. It is short,versatile and the easiest to write. It is most commonly seen on monuments and mosques.
