Getting to Know Your City

Arabi Arabic Calligraphy in Pekanbaru

Pekanbaru is the capital of Riau, grown from Senapelan, an old area on the bank of the Siak River that became the seed of this city. In Pekanbaru, Malay and Islamic identity blend closely in daily life, seen in Masjid Agung An-Nur as a landmark of the city and the historic Masjid Raya Pekanbaru in Senapelan. From busy areas such as Tampan and Marpoyan Damai to the northern side in Rumbai, many Muslim families in Pekanbaru want their children to grow fluent in reciting the Quran, to love the Quran, and to know Arabic with gracious Malay adab. The tradition of Islamic education in Pekanbaru lives through large mosques, madrasah, majelis taklim, and surau that remain part of the community's culture.

The Arabi Khat Method

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

The Arabi method for Arabic Calligraphy in Pekanbaru guides students step by step, from basic introduction to lasting ability, with support from an ustadz or ustadzah who understands the rhythm of Muslim families in Pekanbaru and the gracious Malay culture. Khat has always travelled from teacher to student through copied examples and hands-on correction. Arabi keeps that way alive and orders it into clear steps for families in Pekanbaru.

Copying the teacher's example

Manqul

You write over or beside the rule example, training your eye and hand to recognise 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 capture, from the tilt of the qalam to the pressure on each stroke.

Assessing every sheet

Stroke Correction

Each practice is marked where it needs work, from line weight, to the level of the rows, to the gaps between letters, so your proportions keep sharpening.

The Arabi Method arrangement

Gradual Levels

One style is set firm before the next begins, keeping the base of your strokes strong and steady as the material grows.

For generations the khattat learned by copying their teacher's letters one at a time, then handing back their practice for correction until each stroke sat true to the rules. Arabi preserves this same tradition and arranges it into orderly levels, so a beginner in Pekanbaru who has never held a qalam still has a clear path toward a finished piece.

FAQ

Questions About the Arabic Calligraphy Course in Pekanbaru

What is the minimum age for a child to join the calligraphy course in Pekanbaru?

A child who can already hold a pen steadily and recognises the hijaiyah letters is usually ready to begin, generally around 5 years and up.
