Masjid Khazra Dome Project 2020
The biggest project I’ve undertaken
I was commissioned by Masjid Al-Khazra in Glasgow to paint an internal dome, measuring 3 meters in diameter.
It was in January 2019 I was approached and since then up until May 2020 I was planning this project…
Calligraphy Portfolio 2018
This video shows a collection of my work all the way back from when I started practicing calligraphy until 2018. My last project being the wall art painting.
The Chinese scrolls are all from the years 2014 where I was heavily interested and influenced by Haji Noor Deen.
Much of the traditional ink artwork is from 2016/2017.
In 2018 I didn’t do much calligraphy at all due to being busy building my digital career.

The 99 Names Of God
The 99 names of God by Chickpea Press is a great learning resource for everyone. Children and adults can enjoy studying the names of God whilst engaging with the activities on each page.
I designed all of the names featured in the book and am thrilled to be part of such a unique publication.
Whitaker Museum Exhibition
My work was displayed for a month in the Whitaker Museum, mid 2017. The exhibition consisted of 4 pieces of art, including my largest ever: an A1 sized gold leaf painting proclaiming “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” This was all part of the On Paper Festival.
During the second week of this festival, I visited Haslingden to run 2 calligraphy workshops. I was met with a variety of students, all very keen to learn calligraphy.
- Dear Azim.
It was amazing to have you visit our humble surroundings and providing such insight! Love to have you visit again.-Arry, of Apna Rosendale
Past Events & Workshops
I’ve traveled round the UK to perform live calligraphy and teach beginners workshops. In April 2016, I visited Al-Noor School in Aberdeen to introduce a group of kids to Arabic calligraphy. Then, a year later, I re-visited them with a better and more refined course.
These workshops have always generated a lot of interest and have been the highlight of many larger events. If you are interested to hire me for an event or festival, please get in touch.

- Just want to give a big shout out to Azim Rehmat Din for hosting a great Calligraphy class in Edinburgh. As the class was small he was able to give a lot of attention to everyone. We went into great detail which makes a big difference.
-Imran Iqbal, Workshop Student
- Working with Azim was a wonderful experience. Even though I had a clear idea of what I wanted my logo to represent, Azim contributed to the collaborative process immensely with new fresh ideas. At the end we had a well balanced, meaningful logo that will be identifiable to our future customers.
-Kelvin Smart of Elixir Sport
- I have always been interested in calligraphy but wasn’t able to find suitable classes. This was my first and it was a really great session! Thankyou very much!
-Rahima, Workshop Student
