About this Event
Join us for a weekend with master calligrapher and world renowned artist Haji Noor Deen!
"Patience is Beautiful" is a message Haji Noor Deen often repeats to his students.
Arabic calligraphy is considered an Islamic science (akin to fiqh and tafsir) because it preserves the written Word of Allah and is a means of purifying the nafs. Haji Noor Deen is a master of Arabic Calligraphy in the Chinese Tradition and the Thuluth and Naskh Scripts.
