Explore Maghribi Mabsut, a foundational script of the Maghribi calligraphic tradition known for its expansive horizontals, distinctive orthographic conventions, and rhythmic structure. Maghribi Mabsut offers a unique articulation of form and proportion within the wider Islamic calligraphic tradition, and its manuscript heritage embodies a regional expression of shared geometric and structural principles found across traditional arts.

Throughout the course, you will learn to write with correct proportion, spacing, and stroke control. You will gain confidence in constructing words and short phrases, applying the script’s distinctive orthographic features, including its diacritical system and letter variations. Alongside technical skill, you will deepen your understanding of the historical development of Arabic calligraphy—from early angular Kufic forms to later cursive manuscript traditions—situating Maghribi Mabsut within this broader context.

You will build these skills through structured demonstrations, guided repetition, and progressive exercises that move from individual letterforms to connected words and short compositions. Each session includes live demonstrations of stroke sequence, proportion, and spacing, followed by supervised practice.

By the end of the course, you will be able to produce a short, well‑balanced composition and pursue your study of Maghribi Mabsut with a confident structural grounding.
