Stories from Arabi Calligraphy Students

4.9 From 34 learner and guardian reviews
My son used to rush through everything, and now he traces lines and dots slowly and with care. The calligrapher draws in front of him, so he sees exactly how the hand should move.
Mrs. Rahmi Parent of a young student
I began from zero in my thirties here in Pematang Siantar. Learning Naskhi by the nuqthah rule made my writing neat, and my first basmalah is already framed on the wall.
Fadhil Adult student
Guidance in the naskah branch helped me understand the required and chosen styles. Correction on every sheet made my strokes steadier ahead of the MKQ.

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.

The Arabi Khat Method

Carrying the Way of the Master Calligraphers, Ordered for the Beginner

The Arabi Method for Arabic Calligraphy in Pematang Siantar guides students step by step, from learning the basics to skills that truly stick, so your child in Pematang Siantar moves forward with a strong foundation and a comfortable learning rhythm. Khat has always moved from teacher to student through copying an example and receiving direct correction. Arabi keeps this way alive and sets it into clear steps.

Copying the teacher's example

Manqul

You write over or 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 that words cannot carry, from the tilt of the qalam to the weight in each stroke.

Reviewing every sheet

Stroke Correction

Each practice is marked where it needs mending, from line weight, to the level of the rows, to the space between letters, so the proportions keep climbing.

The Arabi Method arrangement

Gradual Levels

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

For centuries, calligraphers (khattat) learned by copying a teacher's work letter by letter, then handing over their practice for correction until every stroke held true to the rules. Arabi carries this tradition forward and orders it into steady levels, so a beginner in Pematang Siantar who has never touched a qalam still has a clear road toward a finished piece.

The Path of Achievement

Khat Opens the Way, from Hobby to the MKQ Competition

For those who wish to reach further, Arabic calligraphy holds a real path of achievement through the Musabaqah Khattil Quran. This grows alongside practice, and Arabi guides it honestly according to each student's own ability.

The Naskah (Manuscript) Branch

Writing verses in the required and chosen styles neatly and correctly within a set time, training the speed and accuracy of the strokes.

The Decoration Branch (Mushaf Ornament)

Weaving writing together with ornament and color, calling for mature handling of space and aesthetic balance.

The Contemporary Branch

Exploring khat styles in free composition that still rests on the correct rules of the letters.

Arabi introduces the demands of each branch and guides its rules closely for students who are interested.

Getting to Know Your City

Arabi Arabic Calligraphy in Pematang Siantar

Pematang Siantar is the second largest city in North Sumatra, holding a long history of Islamic life, from the city center in Siantar Barat and Siantar Timur, the residential areas of Siantar Utara and Siantar Selatan, to growing areas such as Bah Kapul in Siantar Sitalasari and Tambun Nabolon in Siantar Martoba. At the heart of the city stands Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar, built in 1911 on waqf land, long a center for learning religion with a madrasah and regular recitation gatherings after maghrib that have run through the generations. This atmosphere is why many Muslim families in Pematang Siantar want their children to read the Quran with correct tajwid, learn Arabic, and grow up with adab from an early age.

FAQ

Questions About the Arabic Calligraphy Course

Which 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 serve as the parent of the rest. 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.

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 closely and introduce the demands of each branch. This preparation grows alongside practice, and we guide it honestly according to each student's ability.
