Allaho Akbar (الله اكبر)
Salaam.
In the above image "Allaho Akbar" is written 10 times. The words are rotated to achieve the flower like shape. This feature of rotating the letters and making patterns out of them sets the Arabic Calligraphy apart from all writing systems.
Salaam.

Bismillah 02 (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)
Salaam.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بخط النستعليق
The "Nastaleeq" Script is one of the most beautiful form of Arabic Calligraphy.
As it is apparent from the image above, the cursive nature of "Nastaleeq", and the balance between thick and thin strokes create a marvelous visual experience for the viewer.
The bottom to top flow of writing is one of the widely used in "Nastaleeq".
Salaam.

Bismillah 01 (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)
Salaam.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بخط الثلث
The image above contains "BISMILLAH", written in Sulus Script.
There are 3 "Alif" and 2 "Lam" which create a vertical symmetry. The elongated "Seen" in "Bism" compliments the vertical symmetry of "Alif" and "Lam". The "Meem" of "ar-Raheem" gives the composition a balance. The over-all pyramid like shape is achieved by placing "Eraab" above "ar-Raheem".
Salaam.
First Post. Ayat 1:1
Salaam to all.

The above image is the first Ayat of Sura Fateha from al-Quran-al-Majeed.
Salaam.
