The most important use of calligraphy in Islamic culture was to record and preserve the teachings of the Quran. The Quran is considered the ultimate source of guidance and wisdom for Muslims, and calligraphy was used to transcribe the scripture onto parchment and paper. This art form was seen as a way to not only convey the message of the Quran but also to elevate its beauty and majesty. Calligraphy was also used to decorate mosques, religious texts, and manuscripts, turning everyday words into works of art.
