The reason for it is it's against Islamic law to have pictures(I may be wrong but this is how I understood it) So they take words and make pictures out of them, for example http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/eastwest/images/calligraphylion.jpg Now granted that all doesn't mean lion I am still trying to decipher it
