Thank you for teaching us this truly beautiful pattern. Very challenging, and my mistake was to be overambitious using only 55mm for the base line on first attempt. Then I tried again, doubling the size which enabled me to understand the construction of the small circles which is key to achieving correct angles for the little stars. The story had a happy ending - thank you again.
Wow I was always fascinated with these . I became a quilt maker because I got a book of these patterns out of the library almost 40 years ago . I never learned how to draw these but now I’m going to try .
Your tutorials are very beneficial. I will have to do it again to see where I went wrong the first time. Always learn something good from your tutorials. Thank you.
Hi marsha scott, thank you so much for your kind comment, and just to let you know that I created a group on facebook (Geometric Patterns Art School) for teaching this art. You might be interested to join the group. facebook.com/groups/zakhrafa.school/
Thank you for sharing sir it's a privilege to get in touch with this art through your ancient knowledge, it's amazing how it's done, there magic in there! :)
Thank you for your kind comment brother, for more information you can join my facebook group” Geometric Patterns Art School”. facebook.com/groups/zakhrafa.school/
Mohamad, you are my favorite person on this planet, because i KNEW something was wrong with other construction methods. i see how they scaled everything now so quickly. i guess they just figured it out by playing around and experimenting? or maybe buildings that contain little small windows containing repeat units passed down the information, but alot of that does not seem obvious. When i stare at the buildings i can identify subgrids, but i dont know how to recreate it. I guess craftsmen had all the same construction principles but variations and solutions were revealed in scrolls? or just through buildings? why is there only 2 scrolls? was it secret? is this still supposed to be a secret?
Dear C.L. Severson, thank you for your kind words. You can learn more by joining my facebook group on the link below. facebook.com/groups/zakhrafa.school/
Can you please provide the steps for the other 6 fold patter that has the specific rectangle proportions? Not the Madrasah Muntasiriyyah, but the first image you showed...
Dear Saad Khanzada step by step tutorials for all patterns in this video are available in my Facebook group “Geometric Pattern School” on this link. facebook.com/groups/zakhrafa.school
the feeling when u finish the construction process .. and u think you did great, but then when u r drawing the actual pattern u realize u went wrong .... so u have to do the whole thing again. SENPAI! I ADMIRE YOUR PATIENCE AND THE ABILITY TO REMEMBER ALL THE STEPS!!!
Thank you Niddhi Apoorva for your kind comment, yes you do need patience plus a very good compass. From my experience, a bad compass can produce errors in the drawing.
I love your content! I want to learn more about the traditional method of creating geometric patterns. Could you recommend some literature for me to dive deeper into the subject?

I recently went back to Baghdad and visited Najaf and Karbala and cried at how beautiful our Islamic geometry and architecture is. Long live Iraq.
Please, sir, write a book so I can buy it. Your videos are the most helpful as you use the correct way.
Thanks be to GOD for inspiring your mind with the clarity and extended attention necessary to learn and then to guide us through this sacred geometry
Bill Nugent thank you so much for your kind comment, God bless you
