In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, who taught by the pen, taught humankind what they did not know. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, who was sent as a mercy to all worlds. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, his family, and his noble companions, as many times as the pens have written.
