Who was the first man to write with a pen ?

Who was the first man to write with a pen?


Allah has praised Idrees(alaiyhis salaam) - Enoch, describing him as being a prophet and truthful. He is mentioned in the Qur'an:"Verily! He was a man of truth (and) a prophet. We raised him to a high station. (Ch 19:56-57 Quran).


Idrees(peace be upon him) -Enoch was born and raised in Babylon following the teachings and religion of Prophet Adam (pbuh) and his son Sheeth (pbuh). Idrees(peace be upon him) was the 5th generation of the Prophet Adam(pbuh). He was the contemporary of Aadam(pbuh) for 308 years and was the first to be made a prophet after him and Prophet Sheeth(pbuh).


He called the people back to his forefathers religion, but only a few listened to him, while the majority turned away. Prophet Idrees(peace be upon him) and his followers left Babylon for Egypt. There he carried on his mission, calling people to what is just and fair, teaching them certain prayers and instructing them to fast on certain days and to give a portion of their wealth to the poor.


It is reported that he was the 1st to invent the basic form of writing. Ibn Ishaq has mentioned that he was the first man to write with a pen.


Some of his wise sayings are:




  • Happy is he who looks at his own deeds and appoints them as pleaders to his Lord.


  • None can show better gratitude for Allah's favors than he who shares them with others.


  • Do not envy people for what they have as they will only enjoy it for a short while.


  • He who indulges in excess will not benefit from it.


  • The real joy of life is to have wisdom.

Hadeeth of the Day

Image
      -------------------- Subject: good or be silent   Every Mukallaf should safeguard his tongue against all kinds of loose talk except when it is evident that talking will be a means of beneficence. When talking and being quiet are both equal as a prudent measure, then the Sunna is to abstain from speech. This is because even lawful speech may lead to unlawful or unpleasant matters. This is, unfortunately, a common practice. Abu-Hurairah reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:   "Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak what is good or be silent." (Agreed upon)   This Hadith is clear and indisputable that a person should not talk unless what he wants to say is good and there is benefit from it. However, when he doubts whether there would be benefit or good, he should then not speak. Imam Shafi'ee said:   "If a person wishes to say something then he should think before he starts talking. If there is good, then he should speak, othe
