LAWH AL MAHFOOZ (PRESERVED/PROTECTED TABLET)

“Indeed, it is (all) in a Book.” (Soorah al-Hajj, 22: 70)
“And I have recorded the numbers of all things in a Clear Book.” (Yaa Seen, 36: 12)

“No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees before We bring it into existence.” (Soorah al-Hadeed, 57:22)

“He said, ‘What about the earlier generations?’ Moses said, ‘Knowledge of them is with my Lord, in a Book. My Lord neither errs nor does He forget.’” (Soorah Taa Haa, 51-52)16

“Every calamity which strikes on the earth or in yourselves is inscribed in the Book of Decrees before I bring it into existence. Indeed, that is easy for Allaah.” (Soorah al-Hadeed, 57: 22)

Al Kitabah means that Allah wrote everything about the creation. He has written what He says and what He does and all that comes to existence due to His actions and sayings.

Allah knew everything about all of His creation prior to their coming into existence and He recorded this knowledge in a Book called al-Lawh al-Mahfooz (the Preserved/Protected Tablet).

Even the Qur’aan is recorded in the Protected Tablet, “Indeed, I have made it an Arabic Qur’aan that you may be able to understand. And indeed, it is in the Mother of the Book with Me, Exalted and Wise.” (Soorah az-Zukhruf, 43: 3-4)

“Allah had written the decree/ordained measures (and due proportions) of the creation, fifty thousand years before the creation of the heavens and the earth and His Arsh was on the water” (saheeh Muslim v4 pg. 1397)

…Know that if the whole world combines to do you any good, they will not be able to do it unless Allaah has decreed it for you. And if they all combine to cause you harm, they will not be able to do anything except what Allaah has ordained for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.” (Tirmidhi 2516)

 “The Pen will not write the deeds of three persons: children until they reach the age of maturity, people asleep until they awake, and the insane until they regain their sanity.” (Musnad Ahmad)

“Indeed Allaah created people in darkness. Then He cast His light upon them. Anyone who was hit by that light will be guided and anyone who was missed will be misguided. Because of this, I say, ‘The Pen is dry in regard to Allaah’s knowledge.” (Musnad Ahmad)

“The first thing that Allaah created was the Pen and He said to it, ‘Write!’ It (the Pen) asked, ‘O Lord! What shall I write?’ He said, ‘Write the Decree of everything (that will occur) until the Hour is established.’ ”

…“The pens have dried and the destinies have begun to operate.”…. “Each doer will be facilitated upon his deed.”(muslim vol4 6402)

“There is not a soul, except that Allaah has written its place in the Paradise or Hell-Fire. And it has been written whether it will be miserable or happy.”(bukhari)

“Verily Allaah, the Most High, took your souls when He willed and He returned

them when He willed.” al- Bukhaaree in the Book of Tawheed

“Every day He is engaged in some matter.” (Soorah ar-Rahmaan, 55: 29)

The prophet explained the above ayat, “Everyday He has a matter to bring forth”-that He may forgive a sin for someone, lifts in honour some, relief the hardship of someone, lifts in honour some and lowers some. (Ibn Maajah and Abee Aasim in As Sunnah)

And in the Saheeh of al-Haakim, Ibn ‘Abbaas said, “From the things that Allaah,

the Most High, created is al-Lawh al-Mahfooz. It was created from a white pearl

and its covers are red rubies. Its pen is light and its book is light. Every day He

looks at it three hundred and sixty times. In each of those times He creates,

provides, gives life, ordains death, gives honor, and degrades, and does as He

wishes. So that is the meaning of His saying, “Every day He is engaged in some

matter!” (55: 29) Saheeh al-Haakim in the Book of Tafseer (3/519).

The record in the Preserved Tablet is fixed and not subject to any change whatsoever because it is based on Allaah’s eternal knowledge. However, changes may occur in the books handled by the angels, as He says: “Allaah erases what He wills and confirms what He wills. For the Mother of the Book is with Him.” (Soorah ar-Ra‘d, 13: 39)

“The hearts of the slaves are between the two fingers of the Most Merciful, like

one heart. He turns them how He Wills.” Muslim in the Book of Qadr,

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
