World record
He was inspired by the calligraphy of his father, Hasan Akhtar, who died when Hashim was barely two years old. He copied his father's designs and later he made his own during his school days. He took up designing calligraphy for the holy phrase "Bismillah..." at the behest of Janab Maulana Kalbe Abid, Mujtahid. Initially (in 1989) he created 789 designs, which had increased to 6000 designs in 1991. This feat is included under "Endeavour" in the Limca Book of Records from 1991, 1992, 1993 and so on.
