neighbourhood, a predominantly Shi'a area and part of the New
Baghdad administrative district. He had received threats before
his death, and had been preparing to leave Baghdad for Irbil.[3][4]
Al-Zahawi was especially
active in the 1990s, when he taught students from various countries
of the Middle East and beyond. He was considered the foremost
calligrapher in the Ta'liq method; his style was notable for lengthening
individual letters until they appeared as long as words. His textbook
of Ta'liq was used in Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan as well
as in his home country.[3] According to the Sunni Muslim Scholars'
Association, he was considered the "sheikh" of Iraqi
calligraphers, and only calligraphers who had passed his review
could be considered proficient.[5][6]
On 25 May 2007, al-Zahawi
was ambushed by gunmen outside his home in the district of Baghdad
while waiting for a taxi, and shot to death.[2][7] His body was
returned to his hometown for an Islamic funeral.[4]
