“Arabic calligraphy is among the most beautiful in the world because it represents both beauty and art. Each letter becomes a drawing. As a Christian, I like to write: “Oh Lord ..God of Charity .. my shepherd “. As for the Koranic verses, I like the incipit: “In the name of God, the Merciful”
There are various Arabic calligraphic styles. Adel was able to use this diversity in Arabic calligraphy by producing unique designs which can be used for decorative purposes in homes and offices.
