I found this video at YouTube. What a mind-blowing style...... I like this.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vw4nUdHYQ4E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vw4nUdHYQ4E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/307718633528520497-3082116893478486671?l=calligrapherrr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zia Ur Rehman Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06846539204151337677noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307718633528520497.post-75064981368882225482008-12-22T15:39:00.005+05:002008-12-22T15:55:23.249+05:00As I mentioned a few links of Arabic / Islamic Calligraphy, the most beautiful and artistic verity of Arabic Calligraphy is "Diwani". Diwani style in Arabic script is not just easy. It's hard to find its rules. It was invented by Housam Roumi but reached its hight of popularity by Sultan Suleman Khan(1520-1566). He was the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, from 1520 to his death in 1566.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />You can easily find many samples of Diwani Style but here, I want to show one sample of Khat-e-Diwani by my hand-writing. I hope I will get some good feedback from your side.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RLjPfdN-koM/SU9xz4KB1CI/AAAAAAAAAAo/iASzao0fHYI/s1600-h/diwani.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RLjPfdN-koM/SU9xz4KB1CI/AAAAAAAAAAo/iASzao0fHYI/s320/diwani.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282566023990596642" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/307718633528520497-7506498136888222548?l=calligrapherrr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zia Ur Rehman Khanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06846539204151337677noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307718633528520497.post-35047374083992599672008-12-13T14:20:00.004+05:002008-12-13T14:40:09.927+05:00<div style="text-align: justify;">Hey Readers,<br />Welcome to my first blog.
