  • A qalam (Arabic: ?) is a type of pen made from a cut, dried reed, used for Islamic calligraphy.
  • The pen is seen as an important symbol of wisdom in Islam, and references the emphasis on knowledge and education within the Islamic tradition.
  • Bamboo reed pens date back to the ancient Egyptians, and were made by cutting and shaping a single reed of bamboo.
  • They were also said to have been the most common writing tool when the New Testament of the Bible was written.
  • Even now, bamboo reed pens remain an important tool in calligraphy, as they are known to produce scratchy and expressive lines.
  • Using a bamboo reed pen is not difficult, and you can sharpen it according to your drawing or writing preferences
