Conclusion

It is clear that the missionaries are selling these kind of images for the sole purpose of duping Muslims from non-Arabic speaking background. These Biblical images have also clearly been purposely portrayed with the style of calligraphy to mirror that of the usual Qur¡¯anic calligraphy familiar to these Muslims who will hence find it difficult to distinguish the two. For those who object in saying that calligraphy is not exclusively an Islamic art, perhaps one should wonder whether they will accept it if Muslims were to translate the Qur¡¯an into Greek, bound them into books which mimics the Bible, and start distributing copies of it to Christian homes!

One only wonders whether such dubious methods are ¡°inspired¡± from the Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity, or from the unholy Devil himself!

And only God knows best.

    Arabic calligraphy is arabic art of writing. It is not quranic art. However the art is used to write quranic verses, and also used to write arabic bible verses. What is the problem with that?. The arabic language is for the arabs wether they are muslims, christians, jews or else.

    Duping them into ¡¦ what exactly? It is not as though these pieces make claim anywhere on them to being from the Qur¡¯an, or fail to note that they are from the Bible.

    Your suspicion appears to be overtaking your sense.

    this is absurd lah okay? there are bible verses written in chinese calligraphy too.. it¡¯s an ART¡¦ plaese don¡¯t make it exclusive to just the muslims¡¦

    It becomes deception when such deceptive ¡®calligraphy¡¯ is routinely distributed among Muslims as is done in Pakistan!!!

    Are you saying that some non-Arabic speaking Muslims are so ignorant they can¡¯t tell the difference between passages from the Christian New Testament from passages of the Al-Quran?

    What sort of half-baked Muslim is that & what did they learn/not learn from their Ulama?

    So by your logic it is decietful when Muslims print anything in English, using Western looking fonts??

    becarefull from deception of christians

    Go ahead and put Greek Qur¡¯ans into Bible format: in the United States we tend to read our Scripture in English. Perhaps you could send the Greek ones to Greece to try and fool them! And do you actually think that any Christian versed in Scripture could ever possibly confuse the Qur¡¯an for our Bible!! Either you think we¡¯re complete idiots, or you think the ¡®Ulama of Pakistan are if they can¡¯t tell the difference. I would know in seconds flat!! Either way, you need to get a grip on reality¡¦
