Arabic Script In Unicode
Many scripts in Unicode, such as Arabic, have special orthographic rules that require certain combinations of letterforms to be combined into special ligature forms. In English, the common ampersand (&) developed from a ligature in which the handwritten Latin letters ''e'' and ''t'' (spelling ''et'', Latin for ''and'') were combined. The rules governing ligature formation in Arabic can be quite complex, requiring special script-shaping technologies such as the Arabic Calligraphic Engine by DecoType. As of Unicode 15.0, the Arabic script is contained in the following blocks: *Arabic (0600–06FF, 256 characters) *Arabic Supplement (0750–077F, 48 characters) *Arabic Extended-B (0870–089F, 41 characters) *Arabic Extended-A (08A0–08FF, 96 characters) *Arabic Presentation Forms-A (FB50–FDFF, 631 characters) *Arabic Presentation Forms-B (FE70–FEFF, 141 characters) *Rumi Numeral Symbols (10E60–10E7F, 31 characters) * Arabic Extended-C (10EC0-10EFF, 3 characters) *Indic Siyaq ...

After Iblis objected to God's decision to create a successor (), he was punished by being relegated and cast down to earth as a (devil). In the alternative account, God created Iblis from the fires beneath the seventh earth. Worshipping God for thousands of years, Iblis ascended to the surface, whereupon, thanks to his pertinacious servitude, he rose until he reached the company of angels in the seventh heaven. When ...

The Islamic prophet Muhammad was born into the Hashim clan of the tribe. Despite this, many of the Quraysh staunchly opposed Muhammad, until converting to Islam ''en masse'' in CE. Afterwards, leadership of the Muslim community traditionally passed to a member of the Quraysh, as was the case with the Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, and purportedly the Fatimid caliphates. Name Sources differ as to the etymology of Quraysh, with one theory holding that it was the diminutive form of ''qirsh'' (shark).Watt 1986, p. 435.
