Quranic Calligraphy Exhibition Opened in Punjab
The Punjab Arts Council organised a group Islamic calligraphy exhibition on Thursday in connection with the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Pakistan.
Director of Punjab Arts Council Waqar Ahmed, while speaking as the chief guest of the exhibition, said that the artists had beautifully written the Quranic verses.
He said that the art of Islamic calligraphy has a prominent and unique place in our civilisation and culture. At the same time, today's youth stepped into the field of Islamic calligraphy with a good attitude and new ideas.
The youth's work is a means of expressing the realities of life, and the Holy Quran written in the artworks from Pakistan and around the world in the exhibition was a source of pride for us.
Waqar said that the Punjab government paid full attention to promoting and developing all art genres.
Speaking at the ceremony, Assistant Director Muhammad Sulaiman said that by following the Quranic teachings, a person gets mental and emotional peace in this world and the hereafter.
"Without it, human life cannot reach its ascension," he added.
He said that Pakistan was among the countries where artists have done great work in calligraphy.
