Reviews
Stories from Arabi Calligraphy Students
4.9From 34 parent reviews
My child, who used to run out of patience, now traces lines and dots with care. The calligrapher draws in front of him, so he sees exactly how the hand moves.
I began from zero in my thirties. Learning Naskhi by the nuqthah rule tidied my writing, and I have already framed my first basmalah.
Guidance in the naskah branch helped me grasp the required and chosen styles. Correction on every sheet made my strokes more measured heading into the MKQ.
FAQ
Questions About the Arabic Calligraphy Course in Mataram
Can I learn Arabic calligraphy from scratch without knowing how to draw?
Yes. Arabic calligraphy rests on precision and practice with correct rules, and anyone can train for it. You begin by holding the qalam, drilling lines and dots, then sizing letters with the nuqthah unit. Arabi's calligraphers in Mataram guide you step by step, so even a beginner who has never held a qalam can reach a piece worthy of framing.
What khat styles are taught at Arabi?
Arabi teaches three core styles step by step. Naskhi comes first because its forms are clear, easy to read, and act as the parent of the other styles. Once Naskhi holds 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 unit stamped 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 all counted in a certain number of dots. With this measure, your writing turns balanced and faithful to the same rules of khat the masters have kept for generations.
What is the minimum age for a child to join the calligraphy course in Mataram?
A child who can already hold a pen steadily and knows the hijaiyah letters is usually ready to begin, generally around 5 years and above. For children, the guidance follows the steadiness of their hand and their span of focus, starting from simple lines and dots. A free consultation via WhatsApp 628164896943 helps us read your child's readiness.
Can the calligraphy course in Mataram be done online?
Yes. Arabi runs khat classes at home across Mataram, from Cakranegara to Sekarbela, or online through the screen. In an online class the calligrapher draws the example live and you send photos of your practice to be corrected on the spot. Online learning is also supported through the Arabi App, and registration goes through daftar.arabi.id.
Does Arabi prepare students for calligraphy competitions such as the MKQ?
Yes, for students who are interested. The Musabaqah Khattil Quran (MKQ) weighs the beauty and rules of the writing across the naskah, decoration, and contemporary branches. Arabi's calligraphers guide the rules strictly and lay out the demands of each branch. This preparation grows alongside practice, and we guide it honestly according to each student's ability.
How long does it take before I can create a calligraphy piece?
The time varies for each person, since khat is measured by the quality of strokes that keep improving. What counts is diligent practice and the steadiness of each milestone, from controlled lines, to Naskhi letters, to joins, to composition. With regular practice and periodic correction, many students in Mataram have produced a first basmalah piece worthy of framing within a few levels.
Can Arabic Calligraphy in Mataram be learned privately at home?
Yes. Arabi brings Arabic Calligraphy with an ustadz or ustadzah who can come to your home across various Mataram areas such as Cakranegara, Ampenan, Sekarbela, or Pagesangan, and an online learning option is also available so that students keep reciting the Quran regularly even when the family's schedule is full.
