The Second Rank: The Writing: We believe that Allah the Exalted has written in the Preserved Tablet what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The Second Rank: The Writing. We believe that Allah the Exalted has written in the Preserved Tablet what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection".
The Preserved Tablet means preserved from hands, preserved from alteration. It is a tablet that no one can reach, a tablet in which nothing changes. Is this tablet made of wood? Answer me?
The student: Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Okay. Is it made of iron?
The student: Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Is it made of gold?
The student: Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Is it made of silver?
The student: Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Is it made of light?
The student: Allah knows.
The Shaykh : Allah knows best. We believe that it is a Preserved Tablet in which Allah has written the destinies of creation, what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection.
Do you know how the writing was done? Allah created the Pen and said to it: Write. The Pen said: O my Lord, what shall I write? Did it hear or not?
The student: It heard.
The Shaykh : Did it obey or not?
The student: It obeyed.
The Shaykh : It obeyed, but the command was general and the written matter was not specified in it. He said:Mishkat al-Masabih 5936. So it wrote, by the command of Allah, what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection. Look at the submission of all created things to Allah, and you, O son of Adam, do not submit except on condition.
The Pen, as far as we know, is an inanimate object by the knowledge of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Everything that has been or will be in this world, for a person or for anyone, is written in the Preserved Tablet.
It is said in the hadith:Mishkat al-Masabih 5936 We believe in this.
So, knowledge. What is the second? Writing.
What is the evidence? Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hajj 22:70] meaning the known thing The Book is the second, and "knows" is the first.
Did Allah (Mighty and Majestic) need an inkwell and ink and the like? No, just one word Is this difficult? Answer me, everyone? .
So, may Allah reward you. This verse contains the evidence for the two ranks. What are they, Aqil?
The student: Knowledge and writing.
The Shaykh : Knowledge and writing. Okay.
The Third Rank. Okay We all know that the question here is for affirmation, for affirmation, like [Ash-Sharh 94:1] [Al-Qiyamah 75:37] and there are many examples like this.

He informed us of what is to happen up to the day of resurrection
اكتب ما هو كائن إلى يوم القيامةThe Pen, as far as we know, is an inanimate object
So He said: Write what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection, so it wrote what is to occur until the Day of Resurrection

إن ذلك على الله يسيرDid Allah (Mighty and Majestic) need an inkwell and ink and the like? No, just one word
