Firdousa Bashir is inspiring young people in Kashmir with stunning Islamic Calligraphy
A Kashmiri calligrapher Firdousa Bashir is inspiring young people in the Valley with her stunning Islamic calligraphy.
Bashir's art form is known for its vibrant colours and intricate Arabic script.
After completing her 12th grade education, the young girl admitted herself to a Islamic seminary to study Islamic literature.
While studying at the institute, she generated a love for Arabic scripts.
“My father encouraged me to concentrate on my studies, believing that calligraphy had no future in Kashmir. However, I was determined to follow my passion,” she told KINS news agency.
“In the beginning, my work was not perfect. But as I practiced, I discovered immense joy and satisfaction. Today, I feel fulfilled, and my family is proud of my accomplishments. I hope to gain wider recognition as a calligrapher and honour my family with my work," she said.
She said she is ready to maintain the legacy of Islamic calligraphy in Kashmir.
With an aim to inspire young people, she conducts workshops and exhibitions in the Valley.
