The Arabi Khat Method

Carrying the Way of the Master Calligraphers, Laid Out for Beginners

In Bandung, Arabi's ustadz and ustadzah teach Arabic Calligraphy with the Arabi Method arranged step by step, so your child in areas like Antapani or Cibiru learns with a comfortable and directed rhythm. Khat has always travelled from teacher to student through copied examples and hands-on correction. Arabi keeps that way alive and shapes it into clear, ordered steps.

Copying the teacher's example

Manqul

You write over and beside the rule example, teaching your eye and hand to know the true shape of each letter before you write freely.

Learning face to face

Talaqqi

The calligrapher forms the strokes right in front of you and reveals the hand movements words cannot carry, from the tilt of the qalam to the press of each stroke.

Reading every sheet

Stroke Correction

Each practice is marked where it needs mending, from the weight of a line, to the level of the rows, to the gaps between letters, so proportion keeps ripening.

The Arabi Method arrangement

Gradual Levels

One style is settled before the next begins, so the base of your strokes stays firm and calm as the material widens.

Across the generations, calligraphers learned by copying a teacher's work letter by letter, then handing their practice back for correction until each stroke held to the rule. Arabi preserves this inheritance and sets it into orderly levels, so that a beginner in Bandung who has never held a qalam still has a clear road toward a finished piece.

The First Piece

The Phrase a Calligrapher Often Writes First

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
QS Al-Fatihah: 1

The basmalah is the phrase most often written in Arabic calligraphy, opening a piece and a practice in composition. Within it gather varied letter shapes, curves, joins, and spaces that call for balance, which is why it is often chosen as a student's first framed work.

FAQ

Questions About the Arabic Calligraphy Course

More general questions about Arabic Calligraphy, from method to levels and fees: Read the Arabic Calligraphy FAQ

What khat styles are taught at Arabi?
Arabi teaches three core styles in order. Naskhi comes first because its forms are clear, easy to read, and act as the parent of the other styles. Once Naskhi stands firm, you meet the compact Riq'ah for quick writing, then the majestic Thuluth with its broad curves for ornament and wall pieces. Each style carries its own rule of measure, trained gradually.
What is the nuqthah rule in Arabic calligraphy?
The nuqthah is a rhombus-shaped dot pressed from the tip of the qalam, used to size each letter. The height of the alif, the width of the ba, and the curve of a letter are each set by a certain number of dots. With this measure, your writing turns balanced and true to the same rules of khat the masters have carried for generations.
Are Arabi teachers available across all of Bandung?
Arabi works to bring ustadz and ustadzah to various areas of Bandung, from Antapani, Buah Batu, and Cibeunying in the city centre to Cibiru, Ujung Berung, and Arcamanik on the eastern side. Share your address when registering so we can find the nearest teacher.

In Bandung, you can choose to learn Arabic Calligraphy privately at home with an ustadz or ustadzah, or online through the Arabi App. Both use the tiered Arabi Method, so your child anywhere in Bandung still learns with the same quality.
