فن الخطوط العربية

Arabic Calligraphy


الخط الديواني

Diwani Style















Love and peace

Transliteration: (Houb) (salaam)

Arabic script: ( (حـب (ســلام)




Diwani script is an Ottoman development. The script was largely developed by the accomplished calligrapher Ibrahim Munif in the late 15th century.






الخط الكوفي


Kufi Style


















English script: Allah

Transliteration: (Allah)

Arabic Script : ((الله



Kufi script was created after the establishment of the two Muslim cities of Basrah and Kufah in the second decade of the Islamic era (8th century A.D.).





خط النسخ

Naskh Style


English script:(In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful)

Transliteration: ( Bsmi Alla Al Rhman Al Raheem)

Arabic Script : ( بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)



Naskh was one of the earliest scripts to evolve. It gained popularity after being redesigned by the famous calligrapher Ibn Muqlah in the 10th century. Because of Ibn Muqlah's comprehensive system of proportion, Naskh style displays a very rhythmic line.








خط الرقعة

Riqa’ah Style



English Script: (Think before you speak )

Transliteration: (Etha Kan ALKalam Min Fidah Falsokoot Min Dahab)

Arabic Script: (اذا كان الكلام من فضة فالسكوت من ذهب )


Riqa’a script, also called Ruq'ah (small sheet), evolved from Naskh and Thuluth. Although Riq'a has a close affinity with Thuluth, Riq'a developed in a different direction. Riq'a became simplified.









خط الثلث

Thuluth Script













English Script: (for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction )

Transliteration: ( Ala Bithker Alla Tatmain Al Koloub)

Arabic Script: ( الا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب)




Thuluth script was first formulated in the 7th century during the Umayyad caliphate, but it did not develop fully until the late 9th century. The name means 'a third' -- perhaps because of the proportion of straight lines to curves, or perhaps because the script was a third the size of another popular contemporary script

GOOD and BAD should be abolished from languages

good and bad are two words which created by the dualism philosophy.
Dualism is a time-honored philosophical position which is exemplified by:

  • Pre-Socratics' appearance/reality distinction
  • Plato's forms/world distinction
  • Hume's fact/value distinction
  • Kant's empirical phenomena/transcendental noumena distinction
  • Heidegger's being/time distinction
  • Russell's existence/subsistence distinction
  • Descartes mind/matter distinction
Dualists believe that reality consists of two disparate parts, and the two parts are opposite. Some linguistic examples are:
  • hot and cold
  • light and dark
  • good and bad
  • transparent and opaque
Everyone who has studied Thermodynamics should know that "cold" does not exist. Hot means more heat, and cold means less heat. You can't find any thing which emits cold in the world. The absolute zero degree is -273.5 celsius degree. There is nothing can make the temporature lower than -273.5 celsius degree. If cold exists, this rule would be false. Thats is to say, there is only heat and no cold.

The same concept to light and dark. Dark is somewhere which lakes light. There is nothing can emit dark. It is just a place which relatively not so light.

The concept to good and bad is quite different than the examples above. The above examples are observable and objective. Good and bad is subjective. The root of good and bad is merely liked or disliked by someone. There is nothing which everyone think is good. However, because of the universal liguistic falt that good and bad is condidered in dualism and linguistically perceived as objective form. People start thinking something is absolutly good or bad, and asumes that others think in the same way.

The fact is that everyone has its own reality, nobody percieve the same thing which is in the same universe in the same aspect. There is no universal good or bad, but people are trying to argue with each other about the reality which does not exist. The most argues issue is what is good or bad. That is to say, they are argueing what they like or dislike, and thinks what they like must be liked by everyone in the same universe. If there is anyone who does not like it, this person is wrong. It is stupid and absurd.

the best city in the world

I have notied that everyone think the the city which he/she have lives long is the best one. It is merely because of they have get used to live this specific city. They know where to find the best amenities and where to buy cheap and better quality things in this city. They don't know other cities that well, thus they think their city is the best.

It also occurs to all mammals that migrating to another place might cause mental stress and even being afraid of the new environment. Cat is the best example.

hypocritical politicians

All governments are just leaching.
They make money from citizens and foreigners, but only reward people a small amount of the taxations. Some of them even slave people by conscription.
Who the fuck make them have the authority to do that?

Right one Wrong one

It always happens that falling in love with someone who is consciously considered as a wrong person.
According to Paul Maclean's Triune Brain research, human brain has 3 distinct parts:

  1. reptile brain - instinct reactions such as flight-or-flight, sex desire
  2. mammal brain - it is the affection and emotion brain; governs social awareness and relationships--belonging, caring, empathy, compassion and group preservation.
  3. human brain - rational brain. Logical resoning and highly intelligent brain which only highly evolved in human brain.
The social and love relationship in human world in complex. None successfully tested and got sound research result of this affair on human, like they done on other animals. Love involves sexual boundness, emotional belonging, and rationally desire. It is not as simple as rating the values of the 3 layers and add them up. The 3 layers interact and affect each other. Eg. fame, rich, reliable are rationally the symbols of a better mate, but the symbols reflects the ability to offer the basic disires of the basic reptile brain. ie. human brain helps the reptile brain to find a suitable mate. The same thing also happens to mammal brain. Consequently, the 3 brains think in their own way for other brains. It constitues the complex human LOVE.

Sometimes the human brain may consider someone is not a suitable mate, but the other 2 brains may think the same person as the right one. Thus, the conflict occurs in mind. Three brains insist their oppinion and make the brain owner confused about it. In most case, mammal brain wins over other two. It is because love bassically is just an emotion which is governed by mammal brain.

If the person situates in a poverty or dangerous environment, rational brain might win. If the rational brain lost in such situation, this person may have to pay the consequence even die. The cost is too high to let the mammal brain win.

Reptile brain only wins in one night stand situation. But reptile brain can easily convince mammal brain to think in the same way. Thist is the cause of love after a great sex. Although this person is rationally a bad mate.
