Teacher gifts in Arabic calligraphy, from AED 50 plus AED 25–50 UAE delivery, made to order in our UAE workshop in 5–7 working days. The lines a teacher keeps are about knowledge: «وقل رب زدني علما» (and say: my Lord, increase me in knowledge, Taha 20:114), «العلم نور» (knowledge is light), «خير جليس في الزمان كتاب» (the best companion of all time is a book, al-Mutanabbi) and «من جدّ وجد» (who strives, finds). Each is a calligraphy paint from AED 60 on rolled canvas, printed and framed by hand in the UAE.
For the desk, the Calligraphy Mug takes the teacher's name or a line from the class for AED 50. For the classroom wall, the Arabic alphabet poster sets the 28 letters in Naskh, the schoolbook hand, from AED 75, and the one-letter poster from AED 60. Two Persian lines are here for teachers of Persian: «توانا بود هر که دانا بود» (Ferdowsi: the one who knows is the one who is able) and «ز گهواره تا گور دانش بجوی» (seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave).
World Teachers' Day falls on 5 October and the school year ends in June and July: order about two weeks ahead. The calligraphy about knowledge, for a study as much as a classroom, is gathered in Arabic calligraphy about knowledge, and gifts for the students are in graduation gifts.
