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.

What Sets Learning Khat at Arabi Apart
A few things that help your strokes find their beauty sooner.
Measuring by the Nuqthah Dot
You weigh the height and width of each letter with the rhombus dot unit from the qalam tip. From this, your strokes grow balanced, readable, and true to the correct rules of khat.
Drawing in Front of You
The calligrapher shows the hand movements words cannot explain, from the tilt of the qalam to the pressure of each stroke, so you can imitate them precisely.
Moving Up Once You Are Solid
One style is set firm first, starting with Naskhi as the parent, before you climb into Riq'ah and Thuluth, so the foundation holds strong.

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
Can I learn Arabic calligraphy in Pekanbaru from scratch even if I cannot draw?
Yes. Arabic calligraphy rests on precision and practice under correct rules, and anyone can train for that. You begin by holding the qalam, work on lines and dots, then measure letters with the nuqthah unit. Arabi's calligraphers guide you step by step across Pekanbaru, 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 in sequence. Naskhi comes first because its forms are clear, easy to read, and act as the parent of the other styles. Once Naskhi is solid, 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 printed from the tip of the qalam, used to measure 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 true 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 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. For children, the guidance follows the steadiness of their hand and their span of focus, starting with simple lines and dots. A free consultation via WhatsApp 628164896943 helps us gauge your child's readiness.
Can the calligraphy course be taken online from Pekanbaru?
Yes. Arabi runs khat classes at home across areas like Tampan, Marpoyan Damai, and Rumbai, 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 is done at daftar.arabi.id.
Does Arabi prepare students in Pekanbaru for competitions such as the MKQ?
Yes, for students who are keen. The Musabaqah Khattil Quran (MKQ) judges the beauty and rules of the writing across the naskah, decoration, and contemporary branches. Arabi's calligraphers guide the rules strictly and introduce the demands of each branch. This preparation grows alongside practice, and we guide it honestly according to each student's ability.
How long until I can create a calligraphy piece?
The time varies from person to person because 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 have produced a first basmalah piece worthy of framing within a few levels.
Can Arabic Calligraphy in Pekanbaru be learned at home?
Yes. Arabi offers Arabic Calligraphy with the guidance of an ustadz or ustadzah who can come to your home in various areas of Pekanbaru such as Tampan, Marpoyan Damai, Rumbai, or Senapelan, and online learning is also available so study stays regular even when your family's schedule in Pekanbaru is busy.
