4الَّذي عَلَّمَ بِالقَلَمِMir Ahmed Ali(He)1 Who taught (to write) with the PenI‘Qalam’, i.e., pen is a mystic symbol See 68:1. In this outer world also pen, is the source of learning and knowledge. Reading needs some inscribed matter and pen is the first need to inscribe. Inscription needs no ink for pen could create the inscription on any matter without any liquid. Permanent inscription is that which is graven deep on any matter without the risk of the figures, made of some liquid, fading away or getting wiped out. The commandments given to Moses, were on Tablets of stone with the matter engraved on them.Rv. 68:1
