Encyclopedia
Al-Adhami is neither a poet nor a writer nor is a historian said and it is not correct to call it a calligrapher. Rather, all these titles must be combined with a more precise term and called an encyclopedia, because of the sciences and professions he collected that were religious in nature, this is how the member of the Supreme Council of the Iraqi Fiqh Council described it to the leading scholars to call and issue fatwas And the Imam and preacher of the Great Mosque of Imam and Ibn Al-Adhamiya, the birthplace of Al-Adhami, Sheikh Ahmed Hassan Al-Taha.

Role models for historians
Although Al-Adhami graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts, the department of Arabic calligraphy and ornamentation, far from history, he made his mark as a contemporary historian who imposed himself on the great historians who preceded him.

Dr. Al-Uraibi, Professor of History at the University of Kirkuk, says that Al-Adhami surpassed many specialists in history, and this specialization has served you in many of the publications that have found popularity in Iraqi and Arab society.

The honorable Kaaba Sheikh Amin Al Bukhari.

One of Al-Adhami's students, academic calligrapher Dr. Kamal Al-Jumaili, said, “My teacher Al-Adhami abandoned the line since 1972 on the day of the death of the Iraqi calligrapher and his teacher Hashem Al-Baghdadi, who accompanied him for more than 20 years.

Al-Jumaili adds to Al-Jazeera Net, describing Al-Adhami with his teacher, who was one of the important references not only in the instructions and notes for calligraphy paintings, but also for academics in this field. “He was the only one who got acquainted with my graduate study in a bachelor with a degree of excellence.”
