The present paper traces the revival of Islamic calligraphy in Pakistan through the zealous pen and brush of the Sufi Artist Sadequain. Islamic Calligraphy originated as an Arabic script to preserve the holy verses of the Quran into beautifully written form. Therefore, it embraces a spiritual character as conveying the divine message of the Holy Quran to the whole world. Kufic is the oldest form of the Arabic script. Initially, it emphasized straight and angular strokes. However, the advance progression of Arabic calligraphy enhanced the Kufic writing in remarkably beautiful script. Like many other forms of Islamic art, calligraphy also went through revolutionary changes from time to time and origin to origin. The region of Pakistan also further enriched the art of calligraphy with transnational modernism through the brush of Sadequain who is known as a man responsible for the Renaissance of calligraphic art in the county. He held a distinctive position among the renowned artists of his time as he transformed the calligraphic art into stunning expressionist paintings. His eye catching wall murals of Quranic verses and calligraphy in Kufic script once again raised the status of Islamic calligraphy on international forum. The artist’s calligraphic expressions and experimentation with modernism give new meanings to this art form and hence becoming more universal in scope.
