SAFIA members


Well done to Safia on this great achievement👏🏻

The opening chapter

The Opening Chapter
The start of the hand written Quran by Sheik Nazmie Jones and his Ustaath.

Arabic Calligraphy the blessed Text.

An iconic moment for the Cape Town Muslim community. 

Notice how the calligrapher chose the perfect spacing to fit AlFatiha into a circular shape with emphasis that each line starts with an Alif. Nazmi Paulsen the first SA calligrapher to write the Holy Quran in Naskh script with the permission of his Ustadh. He had set out 3 years to complete the task by the will of Allah ﷻ  Alhamdulillah.

Arabic Calligrapher Ustadh Hamidi Belaid

Moroccan born world renowned Arabic Calligrapher Ustadh Hamidi Belaid will be at al-Ikhlaas Academia Library and Resource Centre launch program at the Islamia complex today. Come and meet him in  the marquee from 2.30 onwards. He will be doing some Quranic writing, so this is our opportunity to see how it is done inshaAllah.🌷
