Tags: Divine Pen, Guarded Tablet

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

It is mentioned in surah-yi Bani Isra'il: "We have indeed displayed for humankind in this Qur'an every [kind of] similitude; yet most of humankind refuse to accept." (17:89).

The Pearl of Intellect is as if the Divine Pen and the Hidden Book is as if the Guarded Tablet, so what remains outside the domain of Pen and Tablet?

O `azizan! We are all immersed in the ocean of favours of Hazrat-i Mawla, it is a fact that our name is not 'grateful' rather it is 'ungrateful'.

     Bandah haman bih kih zi taqsir-i khwish
     `udhr bi-dargah-i Khuda awarad

     Warnah saza-war-i Khudawandi-ash
     kas na-tawanad kih baja awarad
It befits servants to seek forgiveness for their shortcomings in the Divine court; otherwise no one can duly perform [their duties] worthy of His Lordship.
