		Some of the oldest copies of the Qur'an were written in Thuluth, later copies were written in a combination of Thuluth and either Naskhi or Muhakkak, while still later copies (after the 15th century) were written in Naskhi.
		But every thing else in Thuluth is dynamic, it can be written in any shapes, structures, or orientation (Forward, backward,...etc) it all depends on the emotions, creativity, and the message that the artist wants to deliver.
