[Machine] The first thing Allah created was the pen, He created it from light before the creation of the thousand and the letter "lam". The pen shaped itself into a form from light and it was said to it, "Write in the Preserved Tablet." The pen asked, "O Lord, what should I write?" He said, "Write everything that will happen until the Day of Judgment." So when Allah created the creation, He entrusted them to the keepers who would safeguard their actions. Then, on the Day of Judgment, their actions will be presented to them and it will be said, "This is our book that speaks about you with truth. Indeed, We used to record what you used to do." (Surah Al-Jathiyah, 45:29) The two books, the Preserved Tablet and the record of actions, will be presented equally. Ibn Abbas said, "Are you not Arabs? Could the copy (nuskha) be other than a book?"  

أَوَّلُ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْقَلَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِنْ هَجَا قَبْلَ الْأَلْفِ وَاللَّامِ فَتَصَوَّرَ قَلَمًا مِنْ نُورٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ اجْرِ فِي اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ بِمَاذَا؟ قَالَ بِمَا يَكُونُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ وَكَّلَ بِالْخَلْقِ حَفَظَةً يَحْفَظُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا قَامَتِ الْقِيَامَةُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ وَقِيلَ {هَذَا كِتَابُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ} [الجاثية 29] عَرَضَ بِالْكِتَابَيْنِ فَكَانَا سَوَاءً قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَسْتُمْ عَرَبًا؟ هَلْ تَكُونُ النُّسْخَةُ إِلَّا مِنْ كِتَابٍ؟  

" عَنِ ابنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ الله - ﷻ - أَوَّلُ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَ الله الْقَلَم فَأَخذَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِيِنٌ، فَكَتَبَ مَا يَكُونُ فيهَا مِنْ عَمَلٍ مَعْمُولٍ بَرٍّ أو فَجُورٍ، رَطْبٍ أَوْ يَابِس فَأَحْصَاهُ عِنْدَهُ فِى الذِّكْرِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اقْرَأُوا إِنْ شِئْتُم "هَذَا كتَابُنَا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيكْم بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كنتُم تَعْملُونَ " قَبْلَ النَّسخ الأَمْرُ قَدْ فُرغَ مِنْهُ".
