Rukun Negara

السلام عليكم

Lama betul tak check emel.. Last week bila check email, ada invitation dari Perpustakaan Negara untuk penyertaan tulisan khat dari Bahagian Manuskrip. Invitation tu mintak tuliskan Rukun Negara dalam tulisan khat dan khat pun bebas kepada peserta untuk memilih jenis yang diminati.

Lama sangat tak menulis khat nih & masa pulak da suntuk, tinggal seminggu je sebelum tarikh tutup. So, I'd decided to write Rukun Negara in Khat Nasakh. Tu je yang termampu untuk tulis 15 minit. Ni la hasilnya:

Khat Nasakh Baghdadi: Rukun Negara

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Arabic calligraphy is the artistic practise of handwriting, or calligraphy, and by extension, of bookmaking, in the lands sharing a common Islamic cultural heritage. [Wikipedia]

In Malaysia, this art is actively being promoted by Yayasan Restu which was founded in the year 1988 and based in Shah Alam. With deep interest in this art, I have also taken part to promote this form of Islamic art.

Own produce exhibited at Masjid Bandar Baru Uda. Alhamdulillah. 

Yayasan Restu will also be organising an impromptu khat writing to all those who are interested to join next Sunday, 17th of July 2011 during their "Festival Al-Quran dan Kesenian Islam". Also a "Pameran Pedang Rasulullah" will take place from the 8th of July until 8th of August.

So, why not we spend some time and take the opportunity to get to know our beloved Prophet, Rasulullah saw, and the sacrifices, the wars, the jihad Rasulullah endured to spread Islam until finally it reached us. 

See you there, insyaAllah.
