About this listen

Salamun Alaykum,

In this episode of Artist Profile, I throw light on the life of Ibn Al Bawwab, the student of Ibn Muqla, he studied calligraphy with his daughter and was a master at his time, he was a profilic calligrapher, an accomplished Illuminator, he was learned in Law and theology. Ibn Al Bawwab made enormous contributions in writing Qur'an and his work was pivotal in the way Qur'an was approached, he changed the way it was being read and made it available to the common man.

Some of his work are linked below:
