The Comparison`s results indicate that despite the qualitative and semantic study of Islamic calligraphy by both researchers, considering that Schimmel's approach emphasizes cultural context, historical evolution and interdisciplinary research, the results of her studies are interpretations based on the minds and experiences of humans in the Islamic societies. While Nasr's approach is based on metaphysical interpretations, which in his view is the main source of Tradition and the factor of achieving perfection and understanding beauty; Therefore, Nasr emphasizes the metaphysical and cosmological aspects of calligraphy, which are rooted in the teachings of the Qur'an and revelation of Islam, as well as Islamic philosophy; While Schimmel's focus on the study of calligraphy is deeply intertwined with the manifestations of Islamic mysticism and the cultural context of Muslims.
