“Naile Hajjar has always stood out as one of my exceptional students. As a mathematician, her inquiries diverged from those of her peers. She was driven by a profound curiosity to grasp the intricate nuances of Islamic Geometric Patterns. Furthermore, Naile took it upon herself to share her expertise and insights with others through the creation of a remarkable platform. Her presentation for the Ejaza was notably distinguished and remarkable. The website also unequivocally showcases Naile's distinction as an artist. She possesses all the capabilities to conduct successful teaching courses. I extend my best wishes to her in her mission.”

“دورة تعليمية تشمل جميع خطوات الطريقة التقليدية في رسم الزخارف الهندسية الإسلامية، من خلال أخذ جميع النظم في الاعتبار لتطوير قدرة الرسم والتحكم في الزخارف و تعطي القدرة لإجراء تحليل رياضي لتلك الزخارف ايضا. وبما أنني فنانة في التذهيب لذلك أستفيد من هذه التصاميم بشكل كبير”
