This site is designed to function as an introduction to the basics of the Islamic faith and the religious expression that is found in the written word. The next few pages will introduce Islamic practice as well as the art of Arabic Calligraphy. A list of links to other sites that show excellent examples of this art form as well as a more detailed history of its development will also be provided. Surf on through and I hope you enjoy what you find!
