From the countryside of Aleppo, where he learned the letter from his father, to Damascus, where he wrote the first Qur’an, then to Medina, where his handwriting was linked to its Qur’an. Othman Taha’s journey with the Qur’anic letter extended for more than half a century.

From the countryside of Aleppo, where he learned the letter from his father, to Damascus, where he wrote the first Qur’an, then to Medina, where his handwriting was linked to its Qur’an. Othman Taha’s journey extended for more than half a century with the Qur’anic letter.

A journey during which he wrote the Qur’an with his hand repeatedly, leaving on every page a trace of accuracy, clarity, and beauty.

Today in Damascus, the Calligraphers Forum recalls the biography of one of the most prominent Syrian calligraphers, in a story that began with a letter on his father’s hand, and reached the Qur’ans that he reads. Millions.

The letter has a story... and Othman Taha is one of its Syrian chapters.
