In the 8th century of the Hijri calendar, a renowned scholar from Afghanistan co-created Nasthaliq, a style of Arabic calligraphy that revolutionized the readability of the script. This beautiful form has made it easier for both Arabs and non-Arabs to read and write, contributing greatly to the preservation and spread of Islamic teachings.
