In a colorful celebration of faith and creativity, Elhaam Academy held a special Calligraphy Art Competition as part of its summer school program, offering students a unique opportunity to connect with Islamic culture through visual expression. The event, focused on drawing Arabic words in beautiful scripts, culminated in a joyful certificate ceremony recognizing the efforts of every participant.
Held in the warm spirit of learning and community, the competition saw enthusiastic participation from young students. With markers, pencils, and brushes in hand, the young artists transformed paper into canvases of meaning—carefully illustrating sacred words and expressions in Arabic calligraphy. From simple designs to intricate patterns, the artworks reflected not only talent but also a growing appreciation for Islamic art.
Organizers and educators at Elhaam Academy emphasized that this was more than just an art competition. It was a deliberate effort to integrate meaningful extracurricular activities into the school’s educational framework. “Calligraphy is a form of worship and creativity,” one teacher explained. “It gives students a way to engage spiritually and artistically, outside of textbooks and exams.”
This initiative is part of the Academy’s broader vision to develop well-rounded students—those who are not only academically capable but also culturally and spiritually connected. The competition encouraged both individual expression and peer inspiration, with students supporting and admiring one another’s work throughout the creative process.
Parents and community members welcomed the program as a refreshing addition to summer learning. Many expressed appreciation for how the activity helped strengthen students’ bonds with the Arabic language and Islamic tradition in a fun and memorable way.
The day ended with a cheerful certificate distribution, where each participant was acknowledged for their creativity and effort. Smiling faces, proud glances, and excited chatter filled the room, marking a successful close to a rewarding event.
As Elhaam Academy continues to nurture both minds and hearts, events like the Calligraphy Art Competition show how educational institutions can inspire young people not just to learn, but to create, connect, and celebrate their identity through meaningful experiences.
