The Eternal Letters exhibition
The Eternal Letters exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the timeless art of Arabic calligraphy in the writing of the Holy Qur’an, with the aim of continuing the efforts made to promote Islamic art on a global scale under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
The exhibition “Eternal Letters: From the Abdul Rahman Al Owais Collection of Islamic Calligraphy” showcases 81 previously unseen Quranic manuscripts from various Islamic regions. The exhibition, organized by the Emirates Arts Society, began in the late 1980s and has since grown to include 81 manuscripts from China to Turkey, Iran, and the Mediterranean.
