Islamic Calligraphic Art Series – Sura-tul-Muzammil

Posted by Syed Nayyar Uddin on December 24, 2010 in Islamic Caligraphy, Islamic Calligraphy |

The above Islamic calligraphy is the art work of Mr. Saeed Ahmad Bodla.

Mr. S. A. Bodla  is a renowned artist and a calligrapher. He is a living legend of Islamic art. He belongs to that group of calligraphers whose forte is serious and consistent work. He reduces his work to a hand full of lines and a few shades of colours. And is considered to be one of the most significant proponents of modern Islamic calligraphy in the world.

He holds the world record for using sixty three oriental scripts in the calligraphic work of  Asma-al-Husna (99 Names of Allah).

Moreover, Mr. S A Bodla has used 22 mediums in Asma-al-Husna series calligraphy which in itself is a unique performance.

The Government of Pakistan, the Organization of Islamic Countries and the UNO  are strongly urged to separately honour this extremely awe-inspiring and exceptionally talented harbinger of peace through art.

SZIC, has also published a book of Islamic Calligraphies of Mr. S. A. Bodla, titled ‘Sajda-tul-Qalam’.
