Bismillahir
Rahmaanir Raheem
“A pen is
worthy of great respect. Allah Ta’ala has taken a Qasam in the Qur’aan on the
pen. Everything in the Lowh-e-Mahfooz is recorded with a pen. How much does man
not benefit from a pen in his day to day life? Then should we not also be
showing some form of respect to the pen?
Then we
have a book. How much should we not be respecting the book? Always hold your
books in your right hand. Show respect to your pens and your books. It must not
be that you handle your books and pens carelessly. This is that aadmiyyat (humanity)
which you all have left home and come here to learn.”
[Hazrat
Maulana Maseehullah (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh)]
