The main styles of Islamic calligraphy
Arabic letters can be written in many scripts. Five are worth knowing when you choose a piece for your wall:
| Script | How it looks | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Kufic | Angular, straight lines, geometric | Early Qur’an manuscripts, tiles and modern square logos |
| Naskh | Rounded, clear and easy to read | Most printed Qur’ans and books |
| Thuluth | Large, tall letters with sweeping curves | Mosque domes, arches and headings |
| Diwani | Flowing, tightly joined, decorative | Ottoman documents, wedding cards and wall art |
| Nastaliq | Hanging, slanted Persian style | Urdu books, newspapers and poetry in Pakistan |
Pakistan has its own strong calligraphy tradition, from the famous murals of Sadequain to the calligraphy in mosques across the country. For a home, Naskh and Thuluth read well from across a room, while Nastaliq feels most natural for Urdu wording.

Islamic calligraphy as neon wall art
A painting or a framed print is beautiful by day; a neon calligraphy sign also glows softly at night, which is why many families now use one in the lounge, prayer corner or entrance. Our signs are handmade LED neon (flexible tubes, not glass) mounted on clear acrylic cut to the shape of the words, so the calligraphy seems to float on the wall. They run cool, plug into a normal socket and come in warm white, gold and other colours.
You can choose single neon – one tube along the centre of each letter – or double neon, two tubes tracing the outline for a bolder look at twice the price. See single vs double neon.

Your own Arabic or Urdu calligraphy in neon
Want a verse, a dua or your family name in Arabic or Urdu? Type it into the Custom Neon Builder, choose a font – Naskh (the default), Nastaliq, Gulzar or Lateef – and a size from 1 to 5 ft. The builder traces the real letter shapes, keeps the dots (nuqte) and shows the price before you order. For long verses such as Ayat ul Kursi, message us on WhatsApp first so we can suggest a size that keeps every letter readable.
Where to hang Islamic calligraphy
- At or above eye level, in a clean room: the lounge, entrance, dining area or prayer corner.
- Not in a bathroom, and not where it can be stepped on, brushed by shoes or used as a shelf.
- One main piece per wall, so the words stay the focus; keep other decor quiet around it.
- Near a socket for a neon sign, or plan a hidden wire route before you drill.
