Deapite the two term are [not] the same term, the Arabic calligraphy page [does] not have enough content to differentiate it from the Islamic calligraphy page, and it attracted all the interlanguage link to the page which might made people from other language Wikipedia wishing to find more information on the English Wikipedia fail to find what they want.

• Oppose per previous discussion. --Makeandtoss (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per previous discussion, just closed. Change the iw link (difficult these days I know). Johnbod (talk) 13:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per previous discussion. The topics are clearly distinct as we all stated then. That the other page is not yet very well developed is not the point: it stands for a substantial body of material, with any number of good, reliable sources attesting to the importance of that subject.

Closing this now, and updated the IW link. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:44, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

"A new script of Islamic Calligraphy namely Khat e Ra’ana[46] (خطِ رعنا) invented first time by master Islamic calligrapher Mr. Ibn-e-Kaleem Ahsan Nizami[47] (ابن کلیم احسن نظامی) after the period of seven hundred years of Khat e Nast’aliq’s invention, which is a distinguishing addition in Islamic Arts & Calligraphy. It is a unique yet modern script among the earlier six officially authorized scripts."

Yesterday I have added above cited information in the article but unfortunately Mr Freshacconci reverted it, although I have cited some articles as well as links about the information is correct. I'm new to English wiki, it is requested to kindly help me add this information in any way possible.

Thanks

The evolution of Islamic calligraphy is characterised by the continual modification of existing scripts, the invention of new scripts and the abandonment of old scripts often to see them resurrected some decades later. The invention of new scripts, of itself, is not notable. Rather it is normal. It would be important to establish why the script developed Ibn-e-Kaleem Ahsan Nizami is especially notable.

Invention of a new script in Arabic calligraphy is not as easy as in English language / Calligraphy therefore inventing of an Arabic language / calligraphic script is it self notable. In Arabic script it took seven centuries to invent a new script. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MubasherKaleem (talk • contribs) 11:09, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi there Wikipedians! I am editing this page along with two of my peers as a project for my Islamic art history class at university. So far, we have updated several source citations and made other small edits. Our project is due in mid-December, so expect to see several larger updates around that time. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I found this article for a college class I am taking. I am supposed to edit a Wikipedia article relating to art in the Islamic world. I so gladly stumbled upon this page from the Islamic art page. I am wondering if anyone is still currently working to get this article nominated as a good article? Is there any direction/ideas for this page?

In Japamese language page, Islamic calligraphy's ink is made from oil's soot and gum arabic, but this article dose not have that. RJANKA (talk) 04:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
