In the TV series, Aatifa told Digpu News, Turkish calligraphy is shown and it caught my attention. “I was so attracted to the art that I started giving few Arabic letter a try.

It has been over a year now that she is into Calligraphy. Her parents and friends have been applauded her skill and keep encouraging her to continue with the art.

She has quickly moved from charts to the canvas

Recently, she started taking orders as people showed up love and support in her artwork. "It is a holy art and I am primarily thankful to the Almighty for bestowing my hands with it," Aatifa says.

Soon after learning the basic calligraphy, she began with Asma Ul Husna (Names of God in Islam) and subsequently moved on to certain Ayah from the Holy Quran. She started with charts and then went on to write on the canvas.

The cultural treasure of Arabic calligraphy

It is in place to mention here that Arabic calligraphy is among the intangible cultural treasures, which is even recognized by UNESCO.

Arabic calligraphy has been officially added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Calligraphy has played an important part in the growth of the Arabic language throughout history, in addition to its significance in religious literature.

Calligraphy is very popular, and artists and designers employ it in a variety of modes, including paintings, sculptures, and even graffiti, or "calligraffiti," as it is known.

Aatifa finds her parents fully supportive

Meanwhile, Nisar Ahmed Latoo, Aatifa's father, while talking to Digpu News, said, “We are very happy for our daughter to choose this art of calligraphy and we are fully supporting her to advance her skillset in this art."

Urged the parents to give their children a fair chance to excel in their fields of interest and not force them to choose medical or engineering professions, Nisar Ahmad said that it is time for the young talent to be recognized and polished than to tread on the path of demoralizing the young souls into taking up typical government jobs.

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
