“The Sini script is not constrained to the rules of Arabic calligraphy thus allowing the calligrapher much more freedom of expression. The words can be written from top to bottom, bottom to top, right to left and from the middle outwards. 'The Sini Style has been modified for a really long time, there wasn’t an official document recorded, but this font was realised at the end of Yuan Dynasty (1271-368)' Haji Noor explains 'Calligraphy can increase the faith, patience, and also can cultivate one's morality.'

'Imagine Arabic calligraphy shaped into a Chinese character, or Chinese characters shaped into Arabic Quranic verses, and you will get some idea of the intricacy and the brilliance of the Sini calligraphic style.'“

These chinese-arabic calligraphies are really beautiful.

I own a chinese calligraphy with the sign for "dream" and a little saying around it. After have seen the examples I would like to have it as a chinese-arabic calligraphy as well (thought I would not be able to read it)

It looks very interesting! But can it be used practically?

The pictures in the links are Quranic verses.
It's a little hard to read, but I read it because I already knew it.
Writing Arabic characters in a form similar to Chinese writing this looks beautiful.
