Most Muslim homes have one thing in common, we all have some sort of Islamic Calligraphy featured on our walls somewhere in our homes. This is because Muslims are supposed to steer away from decoration that features faces, and most mainstream decor pieces do have faces in almost everything. This takes away the options of having photos on the walls or sculptures in rooms but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still decorate the rooms in an artistic way. Islamic Calligraphy is made in several different ways, each totally different from the other. The art forms have evolved over centuries and almost every type of Islamic Calligraphy is available to us today. In this post, we will be going over all the different types of “Ayat-ul-Kursi” Calligraphies available in Pakistan, how they are made and how you can use them to add an artistic touch to your home!
The Top 6 Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy Styles in Pakistan
Below are the most demanded Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy wall art designs of 2022:
1. Wooden Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy
Wooden Calligraphy is by far the most famous type of Calligraphy in Pakistan. This type of Calligraphy is often very cheap and since it’s made from wood, fits pretty well with the furniture in most people’s homes fairly easily. There are two main types of Wooden Calligraphy which looks perfect with the home furniture and you can have a look on the list of furniture brands in Pakistan:
a. Hand Carved Wooden Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy
Hand-carved calligraphy is one of the oldest calligraphy techniques in the world, but it also requires the most skill. For this style, the artists have to decide upon the perfect type of wood to work with. This can be challenging when they’re working on a long Ayat like the Ayat-ul-Kursi because the piece of wood needs to be long enough to fit the entire Ayat easily. They then sketch out the Ayat onto the wood and then do an initial carve. To get to the finished product, the wood is re-carved multiple times and is then sanded and detailed before moving on to the polishing. This type of Calligraphy is very widely available in Pakistan. This is a classic design in Wooden Calligraphy. It is mainly round in shape but features the word “Allah” at the top, protruding out of the circle. The focus of this calligraphy is not to be readable, but to be an art piece. The bulk of the Ayat is written in an artistic way, if you pay close enough attention, you could read the Ayat too!
Since this piece is black, it’s fairly easy to incorporate in any colour scheme. Whether your home has mainly brown or natural wood-toned furniture or is filled with bright pops of colour, the neutrality of its colour and design will help this Ayat-ul-Kursi Calligraphy fit beautifully in your home!

b. Machine Carved Wooden Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy
Although this is a newer form of wooden calligraphy, it gained popularity fairly quickly. This style of calligraphy is similar to the previous one, but instead of having a person make the whole artwork by hand, they use machines. The level of machine use varies greatly from piece to piece but these are often cheaper because of the fact that more can be made in a shorter amount of time and less skill is required, but that doesn’t mean that these aren’t great art pieces for your home. As long as you find a design that’s well done, it’ll fit in your home as perfectly as a hand-carved one would and unless you’re well trained in pointing out the differences between a hand-carved and a machine carved calligraphy piece, you won’t even be able to tell which one is which!
This White Ayat-ul-Kursi piece is a perfect example of a beautifully done machine carved calligraphy piece. The design on this is very intricate, making the eye wander before you can clearly pinpoint where it even starts. Although we’re mentioning the white variant here, this calligraphy also comes in a variety of other colours and finishes. This is great because no matter how picky you are about your decor or how complicated your colour scheme might be, you are bound to find at least one colour in this design that would fit perfectly in your home.

2. Metal Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy
If wooden calligraphy isn’t your thing, no need to worry, there are still tonnes of different options available! The usual off-route from wood is metal. Metal Calligraphy is based on a similar idea as to its wooden variant. A solid piece of metal is taken and cut with a laser cutting machine. The design is crisp and clean. This type of calligraphy is a lot more common in homes that are minimalistic or modern than they are for more traditional homes.
Given its striking gold finish, a calligraphy art piece like this would fit in almost any modern home very easily. It keeps the traditional style rounded design that most wooden calligraphy art pieces are made like, but the change of material helps it be something totally unique! Since most modern homes consist of muted colours and usually have a running theme of using gold as the pop of colour, this art piece could be used in any room. Using something like this to elevate the look of your room is a great way to have an eye-catching decor piece while also keeping that element of religion that most people want in their homes. A Pro-tip for putting this type of piece up is to try to hang this up opposite a light source (the best light source would be a window with natural sunlight but a spotlight would do just fine as well). This would let the light shine on the metal and reflect off in a stunning way that can be surreal to look at and would be a real focus piece in your home while keeping an element of traditional Islamic Calligraphy.
3. Hand Painted Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy Frames
Something that has existed all throughout history paints. One of the oldest forms of calligraphy is on a canvas with paints. These are done in hundreds of different ways. Some are very simple and are meant to be read. Others are only meant to be a symbol of the particular Ayat. The one that most people tend to use in their homes for decor is the latter type. This happens to be one of the most common types of Islamic Calligraphies used in Pakistani homes!
If your home is already full of painted art everywhere. A Painted Calligraphy frame would match the overall theme of the house perfectly. Plus, if you ever end up changing the theme, you can easily replace the painting as these are fairly cheap art pieces, to begin with. If you want a piece to last through all changes, opt for something neutral like this black, white and gold piece.
Like most long Ayats, this one is also made in a round shape. The shape helps by letting the ayat wrap around the circle as many times as it takes for the whole Ayat to be completed. They mostly also have one major section of the Ayat that’s more readable than the rest, which helps identify which calligraphy piece features Ayat or Surah. The hints of gold tie the whole piece together beautifully, and can be restyled in a room for years!
4. Digital Art Ayatul Kursi Calligraphy Frames
If traditional hand-painted calligraphy isn’t your style, this might be the perfect alternative! In the past few years, with technological advancements, artists now don’t even need the regular paint and canvas anymore, digital devices have hundreds of customizable options that they can use to create art pieces that are so unique that most of them end up being one of a kind! The fact that using digital art allows them to remove any flaws and redo the design until it comes out perfect means that each individual art piece is always 100% perfect. It also allows them to mix mediums and colours that they might not have had access to otherwise, which helps them create pieces that are far superior to what is possible with creating a hand-painted calligraphy frame.
One of the best parts about Digital Art Calligraphy Frames is that they’re available in hundreds of styles and the options are pretty much endless. This is great because even if you have an out of the world, unique theme going on in your home, you can still easily find a piece that matches your home. With something like this, it’s also very easy to shop from anywhere around the world. Some artists give you the option of getting the art made from them digitally and have it printed in your own country, this saves the usual massive shipping costs that everyone has to deal with otherwise and makes the whole process instant!
A Digitally painted Ayat-ul-kursi frame like this would be a really good fit in any modern home. Turquoise is a colour that goes with most modern colour themes. Whether you have a mainly black, white or colourful home, you can easily incorporate this in and have it be the piece that ties in the whole room together. The text is written in gold because that’s the perfect contrast with turquoise and is also the most common accent colour in most homes today, making it very easy to bring this piece in without having to change up absolutely anything in the entire room!
