68.1-7 Kathir - Ibn Al Kathirن(Nun), is like Allah's saying,ص(Sad), and Allah's saying,ق(Qaf), and similar to them from the individual letters that appear at the beginning of Qur'anic chapters. This has been dis- cussed at length previously and there is no need to repeat it here.The Explanation of the Pen ConcerningAllah's statement,وَالْقَلَمِ(By the pen) The apparent meaning is that this refers to the actual pen that is used to write. This is like Allah's saying,اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الاٌّكْرَمُ - الَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ - عَلَّمَ الإِنسَـنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ(Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not.) (96:3-5) Therefore, this statement is Allah's swearing and alerting His creatures to what He has favored them with by teaching them the skill of writing, through which knowledge is attained. Thus, Allah continues by saying,وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ(and by what they Yastur.) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah all said that this means, "what they write.'' As-Suddi said, "The angels and the deeds of the servants they record.'' Others said, "Rather, what is meant here is the pen which Allah caused to write the decree when He wrote the decrees of all creation, and this took place fifty-thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.'' For this, they present Hadiths that have been reported about the Pen. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Al-Walid bin `Ubadah bin As-Samit that he said, "My father called for me when he was dying and he said to me: `Verily, I heard the Messenger of Allah say,«إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ الْقَلَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: اكْتُبْ، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ وَمَا أَكْتُبُ؟ قَالَ: اكْتُبِ الْقَدَرَ وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى الْأَبَد»(Verily, the first of what Allah created was the Pen, and He said to it: "Write.'' The Pen said: "O my Lord, what shall I write'' He said: "Write the decree and whatever will throughout eternity.'')'' This Hadith has been recorded by Imam Ahmad through various routes of transmission. At-Tirmidhi also recorded it from a Hadith of Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi and he (At-Tirmidhi) said about it, "Hasan Sahih, Gharib.''Swearing by the Pen refers to the Greatness of the ProphetAllah says,مَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ(You, by the grace of your Lord, are not insane.) meaning -- and all praise is due to Allah -- `you are not crazy as the ignorant among your people claim. They are those who deny the guidance and the clear truth that you have come with. Therefore, they attribute madness to you because of it.'وَإِنَّ لَكَ لاّجْراً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ(And verily, for you will be reward that is not Mamnun.) meaning, `for you is the great reward, and abundant blessings which will never be cut off or perish, because you conveyed the Message of your Lord to creation, and you were patient with their abuse.' The meaning of:غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ(not Mamnun) is that it will not be cut off. This is similar to Allah's statement,عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ(a gift without an end.) (11:108) and His statement,فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ(Then they shall have a reward without end.) (95:6) Mujahid said,غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ(Without Mamnun) means "Without reckoning.'' And this refers back to what we have said before.The Explanation of the Statement: "Verily, You are on an Exalted Character.''Concerning Allah's statement,وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ(And verily, you are on an exalted (standard of) character.) Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas, "Verily, you are on a great religion, and it is Islam.'' Likewise said Mujahid, Abu Malik, As-Suddi and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas. Ad-Dahhak and Ibn Zayd also said this. Sa`id bin Abi `Arubah reported from Qatadah that he said concerning Allah's statement,وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ(And verily, you are on an exalted (standard of) character.) "It has been mentioned to us that Sa`d bin Hisham asked `A'ishah about the character of the Messenger of Allah, so she replied: `Have you not read the Qur'an' Sa`d said: `Of course.' Then she said: `Verily, the character of the Messenger of Allah was the Qur'an.''' `Abdur-Razzaq recorded similar to this and Imam Muslim recorded it in his Sahih on the authority of Qatadah in its full length. This means that he would act according to the commands and the prohibition in the Qur'an. His nature and character were patterned according to the Qur'an, and he abandoned his natural disposition (i.e., the carnal nature). So whatever the Qur'an commanded, he did it, and whatever it forbade, he avoided it.

So you can lie how you want, but the truth can't be destroyed.

It doesn’t need to be a primate. If read literally, any shape would imply limitation. As in, G’od would have an organ with a form, for the purpose of seeing. It could also give rise to the problem of G’od having parts and being divisible if read literally in a careless manner… Not that they should have changed it though. It’s absurd what they’ve done…

@@AdalbertoMaggioJunior what I mean, is that "eye" is used just to make it easier to understand. Of course everyone knows that G-D is not an animal, a plant, a geometric figure, a wave, whatever we can perceive with our senses. Discussions on G-D having eyes just because of a simplifying phrase is a showoff

The torah isn't of Israel, is from God to Israel, so Isreal should not mees it.

@@jesusvdelgado5401 Only of Israel and the Jews, Ignorance is our enemy

What we do not understand, is the rejection of the Messiah. HIS coming CHANGED the whole world. ....and year after year, Rabbinic Judaism, in all of its fragments, with no spiritual authority- Proclaims one false messiah after another. 2000years this has been going on.

@@andreaurelius45 Who is the Messiah in your opinion ?

@@freemansame8062 not my opinion. It is the opof Holy Scriptures PRIOR to the biblical rewriting by Akiva and the 2 subsequent rewrites AFTER Akiva..... BOTH REWRITES are AFTER THE FACTS. After the Crucifixion and Ressurection of Jesus Christ.
