For millions of Muslims across the Indian subcontinent—spanning India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan—the Indo-Pak script (also known as the Pakistani script or Nastaliq style ) is not just a font; it is a heritage. Unlike the angular Mushaf al-Madina script commonly found in the Middle East, the Indo-Pak script is fluid, cursive, and visually distinct, making it easier for many South Asian readers to recite with proper Tajweed .
