Blank Islamic Cards to Write On

Why start from a blank ornamented card?
Because the decoration is the slow part and the wording is the personal part. An empty Islamic card gives you a finished border, background and colour scheme, and leaves the centre clear for whatever verse, dua or greeting you want to place there.

What can you design?

  • Cards for a verse, hadith or dua of your choice

  • Islamic occasion and Eid greetings

  • Mosque and Islamic centre notices

  • Condolence and prayer cards

  • Gift and dedication cards

  • Printed cards for events

How do you fill a blank Islamic card?
Add your text in an Andalusi Arabic calligraphy font, size it to the space the border leaves, and adjust the colours to suit. Export it for sharing, or at print resolution when the card is going to be produced physically.

الأسئلة الشائعة

What makes a good Islamic card?
One short line readable from a distance, a clear Arabic script, ornament that frames the text rather than sitting over it, and enough empty space. An Islamic card rests on restraint rather than a wealth of elements, and holding back is what makes it look refined. One or two colours are enough. Andalusi's Islamic card templates are built on that principle.
How should verses and hadith be handled in a design?
Set the text in full without shortening that changes the meaning, place a Quranic verse between ornamental brackets with the sura name and number, and cite a hadith's source and grading. Verify the wording against a reliable source rather than a circulating image, and never place it on a busy background or crop it. Andalusi's templates leave room for both the text and its source.
Which scripts and ornaments suit an Islamic card?
Thuluth and Diwani for short headings, Naskh for any text meant to be read in full since it is the clearest, and Kufi for geometric designs. For ornament, arabesque, mashrabiya, the arch and a botanical frame. Use one repeating pattern rather than several styles. Andalusi's library carries the scripts and ornaments in full.
Which occasions call for an Islamic card?
Ramadan and both Eids, blessed Friday, congratulating a returning pilgrim, welcoming a newborn, condolences, morning and evening remembrances, and mosque or majlis signage. Each carries a different tone: condolences need quiet colours and a solemn script rather than celebratory ornament. Andalusi has templates for each of these.
