"إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى القَلَمُ، فَقَال لَهُ: اكْتُبْ، فَقَال: يا ربِّ وما أَكْتُبُ؟ قَالَ: اكْتُبْ مَقَاديرَ كُلِّ شئٍ حتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ، منْ مَاتَ عَلَى غَيْر هَذَا فَلَيْس منِّى ".

Son! You will not get the taste of the reality of faith until you know that what has come to you could not miss you, and that what has missed you could not come to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The first thing Allah created was the pen. He said to it: Write. It asked: What should I write, my Lord? He said: Write what was decreed about everything till the Last Hour comes. Son! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say : He who dies on something other than this does not belong to me.
أَنَّ مَا أَصَابَكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخْطِئَكَ وَمَا أَخْطَأَكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْقَلَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ اكْتُبْ قَالَ رَبِّ وَمَاذَا أَكْتُبُ قَالَ اكْتُبْ مَقَادِيرَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ يَا بُنَىَّ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي

"إِنَّ أَوّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الْقَلَمُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اكْتُبْ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَكْتبُ؟ قَالَ الْقَدَرُ، فَجَرَى في تلكَ السَّاعَة بِمَا هُوَ كَائنٌ إلِى يَوْم الْقيَامَة".
