The art of writing the holy words began with a great companion of the Prophet (SAW). Hazrat Khalid bin Saeed bin Alaas (R.A) was the first Sahabi who took full advantage of calligraphy to write down the Wahi (divine revelations).

At a time when most people relied on memory and oral transmission, Hazrat Khalid understood the importance of preserving Allah’s words in written form. This helped protect the accuracy and purity of the Quran and other important Islamic teachings.

Calligraphy is not just beautiful handwriting; it became a sacred art in Islam, thanks to early efforts like those of Hazrat Khalid. His contribution ensured that the divine message was recorded clearly for future generations.

For students, this teaches how Muslims valued knowledge and took steps to preserve it carefully. It also shows how companions of the Prophet played vital roles in supporting Islam beyond just battle and preaching.

Understanding this history helps us appreciate the deep respect Islam has for learning and preserving the truth.
