- Mohamed_Zakariya abstract "Mohamed Zakariya (Arabic: محمد زكريا), born 1942 in Ventura, California, is an American master of Arabic calligraphy. An American Muslim, he is perhaps best known for his work on the popular Eid U.S. postage stamp. Raised in California, Zakariya trained as an aerospace engineer as a young man. However, a trip to Morocco would change his life and future career path. He was fascinated by the culture, religion, and language that he encountered in Morocco. It was this experience that led him to study and eventually convert to Islam. However, his love for Arabic calligraphy began even earlier, when, as a boy in Santa Monica, he first saw a work of Arabic calligraphy hanging on the wall of an Armenian carpet shop.Many years later, Zakariya traveled the Muslim world, making stops in Egypt, Algeria, and Turkey, studying the art of Islamic calligraphy. Back in the U.S., Zakariya was advised by the curator of Islamic Art at the Freer Gallery in Washington D.C. to return to Turkey and train under one of the learned masters there. In 1984, he was offered the chance to study under the world-renowned master calligrapher Hasan Celebi in Istanbul, an offer which he eagerly accepted. In 1988, Celebi declared Zakariya to be a master calligrapher and awarded him the distinguished advanced diploma, the "icazet" in thuluth and naskh scripts in a ceremony in Istanbul. In 1997, he received the "icazet" in tâlik style from another Turkish master calligrapher Dr. Ali Alparslan.Today, Zakariya continues his art in the U.S. where he trains his own students and regularly holds exhibitions and workshops across the country. More recently, Zakariya and his works were featured in the award-winning, PBS-broadcast documentary "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet" (2002), produced by Unity Productions Foundation.".
