Riyadh, November 4, 2025, SPA -- The House of Islamic Arts museums in Jeddah present classical Islamic art through rare holdings that combine beauty, spirit, and craftsmanship, telling visitors the story of script, ornament and innovation across eras. In one wing, Arabic calligraphy — one of the foremost hallmarks of Islamic creativity — draws visitors and shows how the written word evolved from a means of communication into an art form rich in beauty and spiritual expression. The museum houses Qur’an manuscripts and art pieces that reflect the care Muslims devote to the beauty and precision of the letter. Among the standout holdings is a rare textile about 2.6 meters long, inscribed with one-third of the Qur’an (10 parts) in delicate ghubari script, whose details are visible only upon close inspection — showcasing the mastery of Muslim artisans in uniting faith and art. The museum underscores that Arabic calligraphy is more than writing; it is a core of Islamic art and a lasting cultural identity that links past to present and inspires future generations.
