Arabic calligraphy is one of the difficult art requiring
skill and accuracy of a stone, and not only that.. But needs to study, practice
and training, do not be surprised or underestimate what I say, maybe see it
simpler than that, but if I tried to imitate only draw the line, found it
difficult to Kthbyrh in it, but need to focus my mind high.
But wait. Prior to forget yourself and think you are a
skilled calligrapher... You must know that writing calligraphy requires special
tools.
. What is it?
Pen: not blue pen or pencil, a special pen that is usually
made of reeds, and thrown in a newspaper called the section, and varies
according to length of use, and has several names, including Mazda, the Galilee
and the investigator.
Knife or Medea: used to ground the pen and made of metal, or
Alfolaz, and contains within it a smaller knife to divide the tooth.
Ink, or inkwells: Certainly you cannot test your talents
technical written without ink, inked, and usually made of glass or porcelain.
The many types of ink he may be different for different
types of paper, the Arabs have excelled in the manufacture of ink until they
succeeded in the invention of ink resistant to the factors of time.
Fund Inkwell: It is a round box made of ebony or other to
install the inkstand at the base.
Wait before you draw or hold any line .. you must know the
types of Arabic fonts, but do you think that these lines are the charges and
the scribble of the imagination?
Lines of the Arabic of many kinds, but there is what is
known and used more than others for ease of reading and paint.
Of these lines:
Kufic script: from the finest online form and sight and
coordination, he appeared in Kufa, under the guidance and development of the
Commander of the Faithful Ali Bin Abi Talib.
Line area: the Arab line and plain, is characterized by
speed in writing, combining the letters between the power and beauty at the
same time, not interested in composition only in the narrow limits with the
exception of the Koranic verses, one of the usual lines that are written in
most Arab countries.
Naskh: developing rules eyeball son of the minister, named
after the large number of copies, to use it to copy the books and transfer,
easy to paint, is characterized by clarification of the characters and show the
beauty and splendour.
Start with the experience of this line if you want, it seems
easy.
Third line: one of the finest Arabic fonts Mnzeraugmala and
most difficult to write and elaborate, differs from all other lot Almarwma as
multiple forms of most letters in it, and can be written in one sentence
several times in different forms.
And less use of this type in the Koran, and only use it to
write headlines and some of the verses and sentences of the difficulty of
writing, already seems that this line is difficult.
Persian calligraphy is also one of the most beautiful lines
has its own characteristic that distinguishes it from other, is characterized
by agility in the letters, and increase the beauty of lines soft and round, was
baptized calligrapher in its use to decoration to access the power of
expression, it connects the artist of characters per word and words up to form
a frame or curved lines and scrolls showing his genius in the imagination and
creativity.
Line Diwani: the official line is that the book was used by
bureaucracy, and there are many doctrines in his writing, and written on one
line, and the advantage of flexibility in writing letters.
It is also:
Simple Line, Square
lines, Lines of advertising, Line Developer, Separate line, Line free, Line
Morocco, Strange line, Lines of code.
Persian Calligraphy

(thirteenth century. Called (comment line), which features a beautiful line of
letters accuracy and extension. Bsaolth also features the clarity and lack of
complexity in it. Does not bear formation,
despite the disagreement with the line of the board.
Is one of the most beautiful lines of a special nature

like a stoop in one direction, and increase the beauty of lines soft and round,
because it is manageable in the drawing and more flexible, especially if
painted accurately and elegance and good distribution, has been baptized
calligrapher Its use in the decoration to access the power of expression to
benefit from Altqoissat and departments, as well as agility drawing, the artist
links between letters and words one word up to form a frame or curved lines and
curled shows where his genius in the imagination and creativity.
The Iranians before Islam write line (Pahlavi) When Islam
came, and believed in him, turned on this line Vohmloh, and wrote Arabic
calligraphy, was developed by the Iranians this line, Vaguetpsoa his from the
aesthetics of the line back to make it smooth Leadership, beautiful scenery,
not preceded to draw letters One has (its assets and the development dimensions
of the famous master calligrapher Mir Ali Tabrizi Hrawi died in 919 AH).
As a result of absorption of the Iranians in the Persian
calligraphy Ahtdhanoh singled out and it has over the different phases of, the
more deeply rooted and authenticity, and invented the other lines are taken
from him, or are so to speak along him, it is these lines:
1. Alchuksth line:
Invented by a written commentary and Diwani. In this line is
nothing more difficult to read, because it remained limited in Iran, and was
written by one of Khatami Arabs or spread among them.
2. Persian asymmetric line:
Wrote the verses and poems by the government and asymmetric
in writing, to apply the last character in the first word with the last letter
in the last word, as if they Aton Page At abonha of the centre and to the left.
(Called the mirror line of Persian).
3. Reductive line Persian:
Written by Iranian calligraphers paintings that are similar
to her characters to be read in more than one character per word, and does more
than his role in writing the other letters, and write instead. In this line is
very difficult for the calligrapher and the reader alike.
4. And the faces of the evolution of Persian Calligraphy
(comment) with a line that copies of them devised a line (Allenstaliq)
It is also a Persian. Has excelled calligrapher Imad al-Din
Shirazi-Hassani in this line and surpassed by others, and put him a nice, his
name is known to calligraphers. A (base Imad).
It was written months after the Iranian calligraphers
calligrapher Hashim Muhammad al-Baghdadi and the late Mohamed Badawi al-Dirani
in Damascus, but keep the lead for calligraphers Iranians for undisputed.
Line tughra
"Trh" or tughra "or Tgry is the form of
beautiful writing third line in the form of ad hoc. And origin of the sign bowl
type in the commands Bowl or the money, Islamic or otherwise and stating the
name of the Sultan or his title. Said the gardener," and took the sultans
and governors of the Turks, Persians and Tartars in order to preserve the
seals, and replace the seal sultans draw tughra Bowl patents, publications and
collections with specific, that tughra often not printed, of course, but paint
and write and print on the coins was the place of drawing at the Frank kings.
"
It was said that the origin of the word monogram Tataria
word containing the name and title of the ruling Sultan and the first to use it
in the third Sultan Murad I of the Ottoman Empire. And tells the story of the
origin of tughra the effect that it is the slogan for a mythical sacred bird
was venerated Alawguz sultans, and the sense of writing Tugra came under the
wing of a bird.
Was mixed with this novel funny story of the monogram and
the emergence of the Ottomans, which is that the strained relations between the
Sultan Mughal "Tamerlane," grandson of "Genghis Khan" and
"Bayazid" son of Murad, the first Ottoman, send Tamerlane an
ultimatum to the Sultan Bayezid threatened to declare war and signed a warning
tag his hand stained with blood . This footprint has been developed later and
taken to writing Tgerwat repress as primitive, which the Ottomans. The oldest
came to us from Btgroawat models similar to what was used in the correspondence
on behalf of the Mamluk Sultan Nasser Hassan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Qalawun

of the line. And the fact that "tughra" often a combination of line

Qalqashandi said,
"Calligraphy is what is now called Balkovi, and from the rest of the
evolved lines." But Moritz in the Encyclopaedia of Islam shows that the
Arab line with sharp angles, identified later Kufic assets due to the
pre-building of Kufa a century. As the Arab before Islam was written in four
lines or pens:
• Al Hairi (relative
to the confusion), which is derived from the Kufic script.
• Anbari relative to
the Anbar)
• Mecca (relative
to Mecca)
• Civil (relative to
the Medina)
The first label for
this line in the book was Balkovi Fihrist of Ibn al-Nadim (d. 999 AD).

online survey:
Is it really so hard to learn Arabic?
It is hard. I
speak Arabic because it is my native language. But I do not
read and write it, which is another challenge in itself. I came to the US when
I was 7. So that was the time when I would have started reading and writing it.
There are quite a few different dialects. And for all those dialects there is a
formal Arabic spoken in the media, by politicians, clergymen etc. It is the
same dialect in the Koran. Which is a very formal type of Arabic. Since I grew
up speaking the "street" language in the dialect of my parents
homeland, the formal Arabic is difficult for me to understand.
Not only that,
there are lots of letters and sounds that do not exist in the English language.
Most Arabic
speakers who have been speaking it since birth develop a different set of muscles
or facial features to accommodate some of the sounds in our language. Its a
cultural thing throughout many languages.
However, like any
language it is learn-able. Be patient. Do not give up. May I suggest you study
abroad? I learned how to speak English through total immersion. My sister went
to Spain for a year and is is now fluent in Spanish. So she has three languages
under her belt. So I know you can do it. Do not be discouraged. Learn as much
as you can. And yes it is a hard language to learn, but I can assure you like
anything else in life, it will be a great accomplishment for you.
Nothings
difficult if youre motivated. I think if you study regularly, perhaps 30
miniutes per day, 3 times a week, you will achieve a high proficiency in 1.5-2
years.

Experience.
yes!!!!! its
so hard I have been learning words here and there for about 3 yrs now.. and i
just bought pimsler to teach me and still when i listen to ppl speak arabic or
i speak it to them its like we dont understand each other i get discourged all
the time but i keep practicing... if you really want to learn never quit you
will get it one day:)
every
language is difficult to learn, except if u are really want to have the skill.
like me, I've learned Arabic since i was a kid.and till now still can't
understand the word. so, if u want it, practice always make perfect....believe
me, it's hard, Love is the
most important thing . If you love it you will learn it easily . Go for it .
Well, I'm a
native English speaker. I lived in Qatar for 18 months, and studied Arabic
there for about a year. A reliable source says that the hardest languages for
English speakers to learn are Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic, in that
order. I've had dealings with all 4, and I agree. But I had simple
conversations in Arabic after only about a year, and I'm not very gifted at
languages. So don't get discouraged. For me, the hard part of learning Arabic
is that some sounds in Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew are completely
different from Indo-European languages like English. And singular and plural
are often very different; in English you usually just add an S to the end of a
word to make the plural. Oh yeah, and usually the script doesn't include
vowels, only consonants. For instance, words to do with writing contain the 4
consonants m, k t and b, so the words for office, writing and book, and many
others, all look similar. Learning to read and write Arabic is surprisingly
easy. The alphabet has only about as many letters as ours. I learned it in
about a month. Of course, the quickest way to learn the language is to live
there, like I did. I worked with people who could speak English in Qatar, but
even so I learned a little Arabic reasonably quickly. I've dealt with kids who
go on 1-year overseas student exchanges, where they're totally immersed in the
language. All of them come back after a year almost fluent, including the kids
who go to Japan and Finland, which both have very difficult languages. So work
at it. Good luck. Marsalaam, saddiq.
Hard. See
ever their writing?
Arabic is
somewhat difficult, however if you study and really want to learn it, it's not
that hard. Any language that does not use the same alphabet as us is going to
be harder to learn, simply because you need to get used to it. I've been taking
Arabic for two semesters and i can have decent conversations with people. they
aren't in depth intellectual conversations, but it is possible to speak with
people. If you are taking it at a college i would recommend having a good
relationship with the teacher, doing your homework and studying. Usually at a
college there are native Arabic speakers in the class to get an easy A, but try
to make friends with them or go to Arab/Greek restaurants, mosques, or Halal
stores to talk to people. Arabic isn't all that bad. Good Luck!
It is not that
difficult to understand it & speak it. Writing can be very difficult. Many
Arabs (including me) cannot write good Arabic. Reading comes second in
difficulty. But as I said, to understand and to speak is easy. I have a British
friend who has learned it in only 2 years. If you live between Arabs, you will
learn it easy because you will be practicing it. Hearing people conversate in
Arabic is very helpfull. Books and tapes can teach you, but it'll take you
longet to learn.
Not to
discourage you BUT to learn Arabic fully (writing, reading & speaking) will
take you more than 6 years to learn. I am 27 years old and was born an Arab.
Have been taught Arabic since I was born and still did not excell it & most
probably will not. Do you know those who excell Arabic are few? And once they
do excel the language they are considered as professors :)
I think
arabic is very hard to learn...some words easy to pronounce but others are
really hard and sometimes you have to roll the r's. Below is a website my
sister uses to help improve her arabic skills like grammer..its free. Good Luck
habibty :)
