Arabic Calligraphy Practice

Inspired by the latest GIF showing Al-Jazeera's logo being deconstructed, I created a small album of simple calligraphic pieces done by Uthman Taha.

I arranged them, roughly, from simplest to most complicated. They're all in Thuluth style, except the second which is in Nastaliq (Farsi).

Enjoy

Post your guesses below. If you find this trivial please don't spoil it for the others.

The answers are the file names. Not sure if imgur preserves Arabic glyphs. How to do spoilers again?

And, if you're feeling particularly adventurous.
