To the best of my knowledge, Arabic calligraphy became a popular art form because idolatry is strictly forbidden in Islamic culture. This coming from my AP Art history course, calligraphy and architecture are the main forms of Islamic art. Although, Arabic calligraphy was not non-existent before Islam, I don't think it was a popular form of art until it was used for religious purposes.
