Salamun Alaykum,

In this episode of Artist Profile, I throw light on the life of Ibn Al Bawwab, the student of Ibn Muqla, he studied calligraphy with his daughter and was a master at his time, he was a profilic calligrapher, an accomplished Illuminator, he was learned in Law and theology. Ibn Al Bawwab made enormous contributions in writing Qur'an and his work was pivotal in the way Qur'an was approached, he changed the way it was being read and made it available to the common man.

Some of his work are linked below:

In this episode, I discuss the situation of being nervous, and discuss various reasons why nervousness is ok, and it is what makes us humans. Instead of painting a picture telling students we can eliminate nervousness, I encourage students to be nervous and then tackle it.

I bring forth examples which can explain how to handle it and grow as a stronger human.
