Masjidul Waritheen: Ramadan Session 2019 Day 1

“The Qur’an says, (Arabic from 96:4-5) “He taught man with the pen. He taught man what He was not before knowing.” In another verse it says, “And if all the trees were made into pens and the seven seas multiplied over, they would be used up before you use up the words of G_d”. [Do] You think it just means in the Qur’an, on those pages? No, it means that little squirrel that I noticed teaches man, too. The way the squirrel has been evolved to prepare for the future is a lesson to man. The pen that is writing it is the pen of creation and the ink is the activity of one’s mind. You pick up creation with your mind and its activity provides the ink and pretty soon you have the language and you can put on paper what went on in your head[1]. It is not being written for the first time. It is written on my mind and then I write it on paper. That is how we should understand these things in the Qur’an. Relate them to your own life, to the life history of mankind on this planet. Then, you will come to understand, correctly.” Note from P.23 Here and Hereafter -  “The Pen of Creation”
