The independent variable is the method of painting the calligraphy "Allah + Muhammad". The dependent variable is the ability to write and speak. Data collection using MMSE and Tadir questionnaire. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Man-Whitney rating test with a significant value of p ≤0.05. The results of the Wilcoxon sign rating test in the experimental group for the MMSE test p = 0.007; Tadir test for speaking ability p = 0.008; and for writing ability p = 0.20. While in the control group for the MMSE test p = 0.309; Tadir test for speaking ability p = 0.414; and writing ability p = 1,000. Man-Whitney test results for MMSE p = 0.036; Tadir test for speaking ability p = 0.000; and for writing ability p = 0.002.
