Distinguished efforts to spread culture by the unity of aesthetic heritage.

The Aesthetic Heritage Unit in the Cognitive Media Division of the Department of Islamic and Human Knowledge Affairs in the al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is interested in Arab and Islamic heritage by shining the spotlight on the most important heritage arts, which is the art of Arabic calligraphy and decoration, which represents the character of the Islamic civilization, in addition to the visual arts for their great importance in spreading knowledge of the Noble Qur’an and the Ahl al-Bayt - peace be upon them - and focusing on the aesthetic heritage created by Arab and Muslim artists, by drafting texts in balanced and elaborate letters, shiny and elaborate decorations, as well as drawing historical facts.

The artists have taken into consideration the awareness and educational aspect through a comprehensive study of the circumstances surrounding our societies, and the appropriate writing of the texts that they elect, and the images they draw in their paintings, by employing the artistic and aesthetic aspect to convey the message to the recipient, as he is attracted to where he finds the beauty.

We have worked on Islamic artistic aesthetic paintings in both classical and modern ways. We have also produced a (pocket) sized Qur’an decoration for the Center for Qur’an Sciences, Interpretation and Printing, and work is underway on the decoration of the aesthetic Qur’an in another size.”
