Re: is calligraphy allowed in islam?

@achaemenes

I don’t see why not but I find it a bit disrespectful when they make animate objects out of it like making **peacock **shapes with curly writing when writing the name of Allaah :swt: or a **lion **when writing the name of 'Ali (he is indeed the Lion of God, but no need to break laws).

i do not think that is included in calligraphy . and yes it is disrespectful

nicely explained
