The pen is honoured as the first oath — confirming that knowledge, writing, and learning are deeply revered in Islam. The very first revelation of the Quran was: 'Read!' (Iqra) — and Al-Qalam celebrates the act of writing.
📖 About Surah Al-Qalam
Al-Qalam was among the first Surahs revealed. Allah opens with an oath by the pen — the first instrument through which knowledge was recorded. It defends the Prophet ﷺ's sanity against the Quraysh's accusations.
