    "When ye adjudicate between people, that ye judge justly and uprightly" A Qura'anic Verse: Surat un Nisa'a (Women) IV, Arabic script in Jeli Diwani, Ink and Acrylic The Diwani script was developed by the Ottoman Turks in the late 15th century. According to Safadi (1992), its invention was attributed to Ibrahim Munif, and further refinement to Shaikh Hamadullah. It was originally used for secretarial and governmental purposes. It is heavily cursive and can be dramatically interlaced. The Jeli-Diwani is an ornamental variety, the development of which was attributed to Alhafuth Othman. It is distinguishable by the heavy use of the diacritical marks and dots, which fill the spaces around the letters.
