JEDDAH: Over a dozen artists gathered on Tuesday at Jeddah鈥檚 Al-Marwa Lulu Hypermarket to honor the holy month of Ramadan through an Arabic calligraphy art exhibition.    

According to Moona Mohammed, an Indian art curator and the event鈥檚 organizer, the intention behind the exhibition was to highlight the importance of understanding the Holy Qur鈥檃n and disseminate its noble message.

Speaking to Arab News, Mohammed said that the exhibition was inspired by the Quranic verse: 鈥淚t is a blessed book that we have sent down to you (Prophet Muhammad), so that those possessed with minds might ponder its verses and remember.鈥�

鈥淚t is every Muslim鈥檚 duty to understand the teachings of the Qur鈥檃n, act upon its orders and teach them to other people,鈥� she said, adding that it was essential to help people ponder Qur鈥檃nic verses rather than merely recite them.

Mohammed believes that artists have the power to convey Qur鈥檃nic messages through their talent.

鈥淭his event represents the participants鈥� willingness to begin Ramadan with deeds devoted to Allah. Through this art exhibition, we are trying to use our artistic talent to express our deep Islamic faith by depicting some of the wonderful verses inscribed in the Qur鈥檃n,鈥� she said.

The organizer carefully chose the verses and requested that the artists work on them.

鈥淚 am excited to see these artists proudly displaying Qur鈥檃nic artwork for the love of the Almighty and in preparation for the month of Ramadan, in which the Muslims鈥� most sacred book was first revealed,鈥� she said.

Elham Mohammed Abdu, a Yemeni artist, said that the exhibition was an opportunity to explain some of the teachings of the Qur鈥檃n to those who know little about Islam.

鈥淚 remember when one of my paintings was displayed at an event organized by the Saudi Art Association on the occasion of Saudi Founding Day. A British woman was amazed to learn that the writing on the Saudi flag reads 鈥楾here is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger,鈥欌�� Abdu said.

鈥淭hat lady told me that neither she nor her friends had any idea about what the writing on the Saudi flag meant.鈥�

Abdu said it was a good chance to explain to the woman the country鈥檚 pride in its Islamic roots.

Maysa Mostafa, an Egyptian participant, said that several artists from different countries took part in the exhibition.

鈥淲e have great artists from many countries, such as 抖阴短视频, India, Pakistan, Egypt and Yemen. They all came to celebrate Arabic calligraphy ahead of Ramadan,鈥� she said.
