<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the journey of the acceptance of contemporary Islamic calligraphy in Indonesia from 1979 to 2014. Initially, contemporary calligraphy faced opposition from calligraphers who considered it a violation of Arabic script grammar and often linked it to issues of Islamic jurisprudence concerning halal and haram. The research employs a narrative-analytical historical approach, using data collection techniques such as interviews and exploration of print media. The findings reveal that the acceptance of contemporary Islamic calligraphy in Indonesia involved a lengthy process, beginning with its controversial emergence, conflicts between painters and calligraphers, a phase of revival, and ultimately its acceptance as one of the competition categories in the Mushabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ). This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of cultural change and acceptance in the context of Islamic art in Indonesia.]]>
