Russia’s Saratov hosts presentation of Islamic calligraphy
—————————————–
A cultural ceremony in Saratov, Russia, highlighted the spiritual and artistic depth of Islamic calligraphy during the presentation of a new book dedicated to this traditional art form. According to muslimsaroundtheworld, the event was held on December 6 at the central scientific library in Saratov as part of broader efforts to promote Islamic arts across the country.

The gathering featured the unveiling of what is described as the first practical and creative guide to Arabic calligraphy authored by Russian researcher and artist Sergei Sorochev. Mufti Bibarsov praised the publication as an important and commendable contribution to Islamic cultural heritage in Russia.

Far more than a routine book launch, the ceremony evolved into an intellectual forum. Sorochev delivered a lengthy lecture exploring the connection between calligraphic aesthetics and aspects of ethical, social, and philosophical life. He stressed that calligraphy represents not only artistic expression but also a broader worldview.
