Kiswa Calligrapher's Golden Legacy
Abdulrahim Amin Bukhari is a prominent calligrapher and visual artist who made significant contributions to the making of the Kiswa (the covering of the Holy Kaaba). He was responsible for inscribing and embellishing Quranic verses and decorative motifs on the black cloth of the Kaaba using gold and silver threads. Born in Mecca in 1335 AH (1916-1917 CE), he dedicated his life to serving the Two Holy Mosques. He participated in designing and lettering the decorations of the Kaaba's gates and the ornamentation of the Kiswa. It is noted that his name was inscribed on the Kiswa during King Faisal's reign as a tribute to his career, which lasted over three decades and to his production of 21 Kiswa coverings. This made him one of the icons of Islamic art and a servant of the Holy House.
