The Arabic alphabet
The Arabic alphabet (Arabic: أبجدية عربية ’abjadiyyah ‘arabiyyah) or Arabic abjad is the script used for writing several languages of Asia and Africa, such as Arabic and Urdu. After the Latin alphabet, it is the second-most widely used alphabet around the world. The alphabet was first used to write texts in Arabic, most notably the Qurʼan, the holy book of Islam. The Arabic script is written from right to left, in a cursive style, and includes 28 basic letters. Because some of the vowels are indicated with optional symbols, it can be classified as an abjad. Arabic script has a number of different styles of calligraphy, including Naskh خط النسخ , Nastaʿlīq, Ruq'ah خط الرقعة , Thuluth خط الثُلث , Kufic
الخط الكوفي , Sini and Hijazi.
