Abstract
Jawi Writing is a writing system that uses the Arabic alphabet to write the Malay language. Jawi Writing is not only a symbol of appreciation for Islam but is also used as a motif in batik design. The purpose of this study was to analyze the design of contemporary batik inspired by Jawi’s writing through the lens of mathematics. This is a qualitative study by employs the triangulation method to collect data consisting of observation, analysis, and
interview. The samples used in this study were Jawi-inspired contemporary batik designs created by Mr. Junaidi Awang, a senior lecturer from the Faculty of Art and Design, UiTM
Kelantan. The results of this study indicated that the Jawi letters of ش و ي are arranged in three symmetrical axes of x, y, and z and are formed in translation and reflection. In addition, more studies on other Jawi letters and other ways of arranging the Jawi letters can be conducted.
