The lecturer talked about the importance of Arabic calligraphy in religious writings represented by Qur’anic surahs, prophetic hadiths, the names of Allah, and the names of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), and the writings shall be in the third script on tiles that may be either in Qashani or Karbalai script.
