ڈاکٹر ابوالفاخر زین العابدین ابوالکلام

سابق صدرجمہوریہ ہند ڈاکٹر ابوالفاخر زین العابدین ابوالکلام کی رحلت
ان کی شخصیت میں غالباً اتنی خوبیاں تھیں جتنے میرے اندازے کے مطابق ان کے نام میں دیگر نام پہچانے جاتے تھے اور ان شخصیات کی خوبیاں
ابوالفاخر
زین العابدین
ابوالکلام
جس سے میرے اندازے کے مطابق وہ بن گئے تھے
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen "A. P. J." Abdul Kalam

Recently, there were two interesting articles written about him by Muslims reflecting on his tenure as a President:
A Necrology For APJ Abdul Kalam -- Abdul Majid Zargar

معیاری عربی اردو تغرے

I find all those animated .gif images with text animation running on Urdu blogs not doing justice to the rich tradition of Perso-Arabic calligraphy or contemporary high resolution displays. On the other hand, the tuGHraas below are light weight in terms of both download size & computing requirements, hence very modern & futuristic - IMHO.
اسمائے حُسنیٰ = أسماء الحسنى


Khat-e-deewan and Urdu meaning - No background


With English meaning & white text shadow on black background

These animated calligraphic tuGHraas are scalable. They are fully customizable for content, font, shadow, color & background. I host these tuGHraas for everyone to use for FREE. These will automatically adapt to whatever small or larger space you have available on your website or blog.

With Urdu & English meaning & black shadow on yellow-to-blue background

It is very simple to get one of these running on your blog or website with little effort and no plugins. One just needs to point to one of these instead of the image (.gif) file. [Please reach out to me, if you need one that gels well with your beautiful site theme - for FREE.] I look forward to hearing feedback, queries or more requirements from one & all.
Shukriyah!
